User questions & answers

Question:	what are the dimensions/sizes of the block pieces
Answer:	Each piece is between 1.5 and 2.5 inches in length and width. There are several more cylindrical shaped blocks that are about 1.5 inches in size. I purchased this for my son at 18 months and did not feel in any way that it would be a choking hazard with close supervision of course. It is a beautiful and very solidly crafted toy that combines the best of both worlds... blocks and trains. Highly recommend after six months.
Question:	What is the country of origin for the train? Hape China or other
Answer:	China
Question:	Would an 18 month old enjoy this toy
Answer:	The claim on packaging is 18+. I bought it when my sone was the same age, he did not play with it, he started enjoying this toy only when he was 2,2 years and now still plays with it, now he is 2,7 years. But I must say that the toy is very quality and bright colors. It is a good buy.
Question:	Does the paint chip like the Melissa and Doug wooden toys
Answer:	Our paint has not chipped at all, but this toy doesn't really get played with a lot either (I think my son is still a little young for it). But we do have many other Hape toys and the paint has held up well - much better than our Melissa and Doug painted toys.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it just my cube or do the bees in the hive side only roll around the outside because they get stuck on the screw in the center
Answer:	Just checked mine and our bees go all throughout the hive - even in the center.
Question:	is this product build or we need to build
Answer:	Ours came in 3 pieces. The top of the cube (green board with wire maze), the rest of the cube, and a divider that goes inside the cube that keeps the shapes from getting stuck inside. Super simple to assemble, the wire maze was packaged upside down inside the cube, pull that out and then insert the divider in the slots, then screw the top wire maze with the screws in the pre-drilled holes.
Question:	Will this tip up if a baby tries to pull themself up on it? Can you access inside to weight it down (with books or something) to stop it tipping
Answer:	Tipping has not been an issue but you can weigh it down on the inside if it's a concern. He loves to play with it, but watch them with the hammer! This was a great purchase.
Question:	All pictures I can find of this show 3 sides (ball run, shape sorter, and "beehive" turning) and the top. What is on the 4th side? Thanks
Answer:	There are lines cut out like a maze with several wooden animals that you can move around

User questions & answers

Question:	Hello, is it possible to deliver in France? Cordially
Answer:	The screw-portion is plastic. We have had ours for a few years and have had no problems with them. They are sometimes a little hard for small hands to twist "all the way" together, but none have broken and they have never cross-threaded. I have young boys and they are not always gentle. These are fun and durable. I would recommend them even though the thought of the plastic scew seems cheap.
Question:	Where is this manufactured
Answer:	I bought this about a year ago, and before purchasing also couldn't figure out if it was part plastic / part wood. Well, they are not ALL wood but I will say that I don't think the plastic parts have affected the use of the product. They are still in use at our house on a regular basis with children from age 2-8, mostly our 2 and 4 year olds. There is one, maybe two pieces which they have a difficult time screwing together all the way, but they just work around it. I would still buy them again because they are fun! Hope this helps. :)
Question:	Can anyone confirm whether the screw-portion of this toy, as sold on Amazon, is wood or plastic? Thanks
Answer:	There is no way to adjust the tension on the wheels.
Question:	Hello ~ Has anyone purchased this set recently (spring 2014): is this item made in wood only or is it still a mix of wood and plastic as mentioned in some older reviews? Thank you
Answer:	It is made in China.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you adjust the tension on the wheels to make the block cart go slower
Answer:	Perfect for a beginner walk. I bought for my 13 month old grandson. He can pull up and balance and start pushing. It doesn't run away from him.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	We bought this cart when our child was 10,5 months old. In a week or two she started pushing it. Now our daughter is 1,1 year old, but the cart is still of great interest! A week ago or so I noticed that the child started turning the cart by her own. Her efforts are not successful always, but she understands the principle!
Question:	How fast does it roll? does it run away from very beginning walker
Answer:	No the batteries cannot be replaced
Question:	How long if ever it took your baby to be able to turn the cart towards direction he wanted to go
Answer:	Hello, no these are not machine wash safe, as the paints are water based and the blocks are wood. Please contact our customer service team at [email protected] for further cleaning care instructions.

User questions & answers

Question:	How big is this when packed or consolidated down? Something that I could easily pack and travel with
Answer:	They work like nesting boxes. The largest block is a 5.5" cube. It's pack-able, but somewhat heavier/awkward than most toys. The smaller shaped blocks (star, triangle, etc.) don't fit in the larger blocks when you "nest" them. So, plan on having an additional bag of wood blocks to tote as well.
Question:	Is it different than this one? The pattern is different, right? http://www.amazon.com/Hape-ED810662-Pyramid-of-Play/dp/B001ODA2Q
Answer:	Yeah same toy, but different pattern on it. My son is 17 months now and is really starting to play with them now, likes putting the shapes into the openings and stacking and knocking them over.
Question:	Can I buy replacement shapes anywhere
Answer:	Thank you for asking about our Pyramid of Play. We do offer replacement shapes please call our customer service team at 1-800-661-4142 and we will be happy to assist you.
Question:	I'm thinking of using these as a cat playhouse... can someone tell me the size of the bottom box and overall height of them all stacked together
Answer:	Well, I can see it might work as a MOUSE or gerbil playhouse, but not for a cat. The entire stacked height is 18.5" tall, the largest box is 5.5" cubed. I'd look elsewhere for cat toys. Good luck!
