User questions & answers

Question:	Is the paint on the blocks non toxic? I am concerned about lead based or toxic paint because my child puts it in her mouth
Answer:	Melissa and Doug's official email responses posted by other inquiring parents neither confirm or denies but reiterates their commitment to constant testing and audit of their toys from their overseas production facilities. My main concern is their prior recalls in Canada for elevated levels of Barium which is a heavy metal. There was no recall in the US as our threshold is higher than the Canadian standard. To be fair recalls for any manufacturer across any industry are common and M&D now adheres to the stricter standard for the US as well, however, I have seen a fair amount of their toys with paint chip even after light usage. My own collection of toys for my 15 mo old have been retired as I do not want him ingesting any paint chip period. And their lack of response to my email inquiry after receiving a defective set has made me purchase other brands for my baby's toys.
Question:	What is the recommended age for this product
Answer:	I would say between 6-36 months or 6 months to 3 years. My 2 year old loves it.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	In the Product Details of the page, it says, "Origin: China." I don't know if that turns you off, but it definitely helped teach my 22-month old how to say "oval," "diamond," and "hexagon." Yes, hexagon! But he spends more time making towers out of the blocks than fitting the blocks in the holes.
Question:	What is the overall size
Answer:	The size of the wooden Cube is roughly between 5 3/4 and 6 inches.The shapes are roughly between 1 1/2 to 2 inches.Hope it helps

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you twist it to get the parts out? The old round type has a handle on top and one on the bottom to twist with
Answer:	Good afternoon and sorry for the late reply. Yes the top and bottom twist apart give you easy access to the pieces. I have also included a youtube link showing a description of the toy showing you how to twist the top and bottom off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Typpn1Kgg4
Question:	Would this be good for a 2 year old? He hasn't had any toys like this before/yet
Answer:	A two-year old should be able to figure it out quickly, I think. Both my kids took a while to figure it out when they started at about 12 months, and maybe 2-3 months later they were really good at it, and would not stop repeating this puzzle without tiring. One of my kids is 4 years old, and he's lost interest, but my 18 month old plays with it daily, and every time I want his attention to be diverted, this is the toy I go to, and always works!
Question:	Are these latex free
Answer:	I think that it probably is latex free. I would suggested that you contact the company that produces it to be sure.
Question:	Is this toy manufactured in the u.s
Answer:	It says that it is in the description on Amazon as well as the packaging. I believe all Green Toy's are USA manufactured.

User questions & answers

Question:	The toy has a warning about chocking hazard from small pieces. What small pieces are they talking about? Is it the shapes
Answer:	That's all I can think of. But they're rather large pieces. The top red piece is where the half circle red wooden piece slides in, and that whole piece is plastic and removable so all the wooden shapes can come back out. I bought this for when my kid gets bigger and can use pincer grasp and sort better; he's only 7 months but I wouldn't mind him playing with the blocks individually. He plays with plain wooden blocks sometimes now. It's assembled very sturdily.
Question:	Is this made with non toxic paint
Answer:	Hi! Since 1988, when Melissa and Doug began our company, ALL of our toys have been made with non-toxic materials. Our toys are extensively tested and pass all safety requirements. If you have any other questions, please give us a call at 800-284-3948. Talk to you soon!

User questions & answers

Question:	When I received, the shapes came in a paper bag inside the box. Is this how they come packaged
Answer:	Apparently so. That's how the one I got was packaged. For some reason I thought there would be move shapes. But my grandson loves it.
Question:	Is a two year old too old to enjoy this
Answer:	Definitely not too old! They'll be able to practice motor skills and shape & color identification, as well as start to create narrative play scenarios. Enjoy!
Question:	When I received, the shapes came in a paper bag. Is this how it is packaged
Answer:	The box I received had the shapes in a paper bag also. I believe this is the way they are shipping them.
Question:	Did any one else receive this truck reeking of laundry detergent scent? I tried washing it but it still smells. Oddly the box doesn't smell at all
Answer:	Yes, mine reeked like laundry detergent as well. In fact all the toys that I recently purchased from Green Toys smell this way as well. I emailed the company and apparently they recycle laundry detergent bottles as well and although the Toys aren’t made from the laundry detergent bottles the smell from the reclining process penetrates through. It’s ridiculous, the smell is incredible overwhelming. Shame on Green Toys for allowing this.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this ship to Guam
Answer:	Unfortunately, at this time Royal Stitches is not shipping internationally. Joann
Question:	Would this be suitable and entertaining for a 9 month old
Answer:	I don't like to generalize about children's abilities, but not many 9 month olds have the hand eye coordination to match shapes into holes. However they would enjoy playing with the pieces and carrying the case. Makes a nice travel toy and they will develop the ability to use it correctly soon enough. Ideally I think this gift would be best for about 18mos to 2 yrs.
Question:	Is it bpa free
Answer:	Thank you for your question. I called the company and they tell me that it is BPA free.
Question:	What are the measurements of the little blocks
Answer:	They are made of hard plastic and different shapes. Approximately 1 1/2 inches wide and maybe 1/2 thick. The case is a soft carrying case with clear plastic for the child to see through.

This butterfly sorter has 'stages' that grow with baby!

With the top removed, younger babies can use the Fisher-Price Butterfly Shape Sorter for fill & spill fun. Baby will love just putting the chunky, easy-to-grasp shapes in the butterfly – and dumping them out to start the play all over again! For older babies, place the shape sorter lid on top and show baby how to fit the blocks through the matching openings. Before long, baby will be doing the shape sorting all on their own!

Watch as baby’s development takes wing!

Grasping blocks for put & take play and fitting blocks through the openings on the shape sorter lid help baby develop fine motor skills, like finger dexterity and eye-hand coordination. Matching block shapes to the openings also helps develop thinking & problem solving skills. And little ones gain self-confidence as they discover how to match and sort shapes on their own!

Take the play to another level!

As baby grows, you can turn the fun into teaching opportunities. Ask baby questions like, 'Can you find the circle?' 'How about the triangle?' or 'What color is the square?'

Promotes motor skills

Fitting blocks through the openings and matching block shapes help develop thinking and problem-solving skills – as well as fine motor skills

Add to the fun

It's so much fun to dump the blocks out and start all over again.
