Tiny pellets for clumsy fingers

Does anyone find it challenging to pour one miniscule pellet out of the tube into a bottle of water?
I found it a daunting task and wasted so many pellets. I was so worried whether I had put any pellet in the bottle because their size is almost invisible to the human eye,0 especially in water. I even bought a microscope to ensure I wasn't just giving my son plain water for each dose. Big thanks to Dr Jeff for saving the day with a most useful tip!
Pour a couple of pellets into the cap. Then dip a toothpick into water to pick up one or two pellet! With the toothpick, you can easily place one or two or any desired number of pellets into the bottle!

I have found it helpful to use a small piece of paper folded once, and to tap the bottle until one or more pellets fall onto the paper where you can see them. Then you can dispense one or more into the bottle. I usually put the pellets in first, and then add the water and a bit of alcohol if warranted.
