Our kids and our neighbor kids love using this "froggy soap". It is easy enough for 3 and 4 year olds to pump on their own. My 2 year old can pump it if I hold the base. The foamy soap is slightly green and has a mild melon smell. It does not dry out your hands. The only con is that it seems to get used up fast - not sure if the kids are using 5 pumps each because they like it so much, or if it just goes fast. I'm going to buy a refill anyway, since my kids like it so much. It is less messy then the traditional thicker gel-like hand soap.
