User questions & answers

Question:	What are the balls made of - plastic? wood
Answer:	You can purchase a replacement set (Current price $10 (Prime) here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M04YTFG I actually found that the balls which fit my twin nephews' other ball drop toys fit this toy. I purchased these for them and they LOVE that they shake and add an extra dimension to the noise of this toy. The only drawback is that these don't have "green" and they are plastic. Currently they are $8 (Prime) for a set of extras. They do hold up very well though considering the twins fight over them constantly and bang them around with the hammer and any other toy they can find. I don't advise smashing them hard though and always supervise play. https://www.amazon.com/Ball-Activity-Balls-Replacements-Action/dp/B01JDZYXGY/
Question:	how can I purchase extra balls
Answer:	Under product description, China is listed as the country of origin. For the price, these are certainly not made in Switzerland.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	Yes! My child put one of the balls in her mouth at 10 months. We had to take it away. Now we just let her play with the xylophone and hammer part.
Question:	Will the balls fit insdie the mouth of a 15 month old child
Answer:	Correct. The whole frame is wood. The keys would have to be metal.

Answer:	My husband wears 13/14 and it's too small for him. My sister wears a women's size 12/13 and it just fits her, but she feels like it doesn't rub in quite the right spot because her foot is larger. I wear a women's size 11 and to me, it seems just right. Seems like it should somehow be adjustable for your foot size.
