User questions & answers

Question:	What age is this appropriate for

Question:	How many items are there? What are the names of the items and its dimensions and the basket size
Answer:	Yes, it does.
Question:	where is this made
Answer:	No. It’s very misleading. Mine just came with the vegetables in the basket and when I contacted customer service they couldn’t do anything because it comes from a third party seller. You can get both baskets for half the price on the actual ikea website!

I say this because they were all gifts and I think I would recall if they were already boxed. I may be wrong, but this is my recollection.

Antsy Pants Play Food Felt Strawberries

User questions & answers

Question:	How many strawberries come in this package
Answer:	This is designed in Germany and made in china
Question:	Are these washable
Answer:	The set does not come with a case. If you were careful with the packaging you could keep the set together in that. You could also purchase a container at a craft store or retailer and store it inside. It is an adorable set, all of the Haba products are exceptional. I bought another after the first one came.
Question:	are these safe for a one year old
Answer:	We recommend sanitation wipes, or a little soap and water on a wash cloth.
Question:	What’s the felt made of
Answer:	They are not just felt cutouts. The material they are made from is stiffer than that, and the leaves have veins on them. This is a cute set. In my opinion, Haba toys are exceptional.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this set manufactured
Answer:	This set includes 15 felt strawberries.
Question:	Are these machine Washable
Answer:	Yes but I'd put them in something like a mesh sock washing bag or something to keep them together.
Question:	How long did this entertain your child
Answer:	I would let my 1 year old play with these but not unsupervised. They are pretty well made but I would worry that the green stem might be bitten off if the child was left unattended and managed to try to really eat the pretend fruit. My 3 year old knows better than to eat them or stick them in his mouth so I don't worry about him as much as a younger one. If supervised 1 year old's would love this.
Question:	Has anyone tried the wood set? I'm not sure which is better for play, the felt or wood
Answer:	Typically felt is made from natural fibers like wool, but it can also be made from synthetic fibers. I've read the label for this particular product and it does not specify what the felt is actually made of. The phone number for Antsy Pants customer service is 1-888-472-1413. Hopefully they can give you the more detailed information you are looking for.
