User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a good size set for a 10-year-old
Answer:	The item does not have a trundle.
Question:	Mine came without the spray bottle, who do I contact
Answer:	The weight limit for this bed is 400 lbs.
Question:	Is this appropriate for a 5-year old
Answer:	I don't know, it was purchased for sprouting to grow wheat grass for juicing
Question:	Does the spray bottle spray water
Answer:	Winter wheat is planted in the Fall and it lives through the Winter and is harvested in the Summer. Spring wheat is planted in the Spring and harvested in the Fall. Winter wheat tends to have more gluten, so it's better for bread and noodles. Spring wheat has less gluten so it's better for cakes and pastries. As for the nutrition components, there is no significant difference.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the guide/lines raised
Answer:	I don’t remember specifically about this one,but some of them are raised. My 5 year old granddaughter had no trouble doing several of them.
Question:	Can you seal it to hand outside
Answer:	I wouldn't hang it outside. Ours is hanging on the inside of window. Kids really enjoyed putting it together.
Question:	What is the finished size of the butterfly
Answer:	The overall finished size of the completed stained glass is 10" w x 8.5" h - but the butterfly image within is 8" w x 7" h.
Question:	Is there only one way to do this project? In other words, does everyone end up with the exact same color pattern
Answer:	The colored mosaic tiles actually have a sticky back that fits (yes) the specific tiles of the butterfly ...each butterfly product has the same coloring. You can always copy the colored template sheet for sizing. Then makeup your own colors to glue-gun on or have the template as a pattern to paint. It’s beautiful as it is by the way!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this game appropriate for children with Ausberger's
Answer:	I also have a Grandson that has Ausberger, he is 11 yrs old. He does not play this as a game but just tries to balance the stack. He tires but of course loses his patience; doesn't stay on the game long but I do see he tries a little harder and stays longer on the game. I think 11 and older it would do well and a good coordination projection, helps his patience improve. pac
Question:	OK for a 5 year old
Answer:	Yes. My son had no problems playing at 4 years old.
Question:	Is it challenging and appropriate for adults
Answer:	I think it's perfect for young & old alike. Especially if u bought more sets or larger sets. I've had no problem getting it to stand up (as Donna had complain of) & the fun part about this is, it can be won by children as well as adults. Often, family games can give adults an edge but if u teach children to move slowly & think about there moves...they can easily be the winner. Gr8 learning tool for children that may be a bit too hyper. Teaches them to slow down & think!!! Hope this helps! :)
Question:	I have grandchildren, 3 & 6 yrs old. Will they both be able to play
Answer:	Yes but it might be frustrating for the 3 year old at first. My 6 and 9 year old granddaughters have really enjoyed this game. I personally think it is more suitable for older children, at least 6 years and up.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the horses small enough to pose a choking hazard? AKA would they fit through the opening of a paper towel roll
Answer:	Hi- No, they are not a choking hazard. I tried to put one of the horses in a paper towel roll and I could not. They stand about 2 1/2-3 inches tall and maybe 3 inches long.
Question:	What is the length and height of the horses
Answer:	They seem to be about 3.5 inches in length and about 2.5 inches high....ish!
Question:	Does the show horse stable fit Breyer 1:32 scale stablemates horses (~3 in high by 4 in long
Answer:	Yes, my granddaughter has the Breyer horses and they fit in this stable.
Question:	what are the horses made of? and do they come out of the stable to play with
Answer:	The horse are made of a very sturdy plastic. The stable has two doors on the back with a gold metal hook-style latch. You can easily open the "stable doors" and let the horses out to play. We've had this toy since June 2013 and it has held up very well -- my daughter plays with it constantly and has even dropped it on several occasions.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have 2 books in it or one? The images show 2 books
Answer:	Hidden in a Velcro enclosure at the bottom of the “pig” side. Takes 2 AAA batteries.
Question:	Does this go in the dryer
Answer:	There's a spot to open it up and a sound box inside with an on/off switch.
Question:	Are there any activities like zipping or buttoning? Or just flaps to lift
Answer:	The dimensions of the cube are approximately 9 x 8 x 8 inches. Be aware that the buttons that need to be pressed to play the music and sounds are hard to press for little fingers. Also - the animal sounds leave a lot to be desired. I was disappointed with the product but my now 8 month old granddaughter loves it (she's had it since 5 months) so that's what matters!
Question:	Is this made in usa
Answer:	Check on Amazon for the toy, may tell...
