User questions & answers

Question:	Could you put taller legs on this so a baby could stand at it
Answer:	You may be able to add taller legs. Each leg is held on with two screws. The screws go in from the top of the table and the holes are predrilled. My biggest concern with adding taller legs would be the sturdiness of the table as baby puts all of their weight on the spot they are holding to stand.
Question:	Is this spread with any chemicals
Answer:	What kind of chemicals? Alex is an awesome brand in my opinion. Here's their page on safety, which confirms no BPA in any of their toys. https://www.alexbrands.com/product-safety/
Question:	Can this be easily mounted onto a wall
Answer:	We bought this for our twin grandsons, and they love it! It is very entertaining, and quite sturdy... One or the other often perch on it (they're about 20 lb. each ) and it easily supports them. I'm not sure about wall mounting, but I know you have to screw in the legs so perhaps it's a possibility. Hope this helps.
Question:	Would this be good for a 22 month old
Answer:	I purchased it as a Christmas present for my grandchildren who will be 18 months and almost 3 years old on December 25. I ordered it based on an article in one of my "women's magazines" that it was age appropriate for that age group so here's hoping. Also I tend to shy away from toys that need endless batteries or that "do the playing" for the child. But I won't know until Christmas day if it is a success.

Question:	Is it bpa free

Question:	What size are the pegs
Answer:	they are large size pegs I would say approx 2in x 4in long
Question:	Why does everyone review it will be outgrown by 18 months? Will it just be too easy
Answer:	I don't know why everyone says it will be outgrown by 18 months. My daughter put them into the holes but also stacked them to make them into a tower. Any toy can be enjoyed when you let a child use their imagination.
Question:	Do these pieces past the toilet paper roll test? They look awfully small
Answer:	They are a lot bigger than you might think! I don't have the pegs here with me, but from what I remember, I don't think there's a chance that they are small enough to fit inside a toilet paper tube.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many kits come in this package
Answer:	My son uses an assortmant of cars to play. Will warn if tires on the cars have spikes or rumble strips it will rip up the mats surface.
Question:	Would this be appropriate for a 5 year old? Or is it too "babyish
Answer:	I don't notice that it smells like plastic. My 2 1/2 yr. old grandson loves it and then it folds up and fits in a small space in the closet. We have hard floors and it has a bit of padding so he uses it like a floor covering.
Question:	Would this be fun for a 24month old girl? It's tough to find sometime for this age. Thank you very much
Answer:	Maybe a little late for you but in case anyone else is wondering, I just bought some wheelies cars and they seem like the perfect size for this mat.
Question:	Does it include paper plates or do you have to go buy those separately
Answer:	It would be great for travelers! The perfect size and everything!

Question:	What is the size of each piece
Answer:	They are about 1.5-2.0 inches length wise, and about 1/8 inch depth wise. I love these string beads for my students who need help with OT skills. Hope this helps!
Question:	Can you buy extra string needleS
Answer:	I'm not sure. I'd recommend calling the manufacturer. Otherwise you could probably use a different string from something else, although I really prefer the one it came with.
Question:	Is the aglet longer than the beads to be strung
Answer:	Yes. On most beads (or cars, or animals) there is at least half an inch on either side of the bead when they are threading it. I purchased the cars and the farm animals....he prefers the animals. The cars are basically all the same, but the farm animals have a smaller duck, chicken, hen...those are easier to hold. Also its a double win because he was learning to recognize the cow and says Moooo when he holds it!I would definitely buy this toy again, we love them and still play with them daily!!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does It stay Open without being attached to the back of a seat
Answer:	I believe the set made three complete animals. It was a great activity for a calm block of time. Entirely self-directed for 4-5 year olds, some assistance for 3's (younger than that, it is entirely a mommy/babysitter & kid activity)
Question:	How supportive is writing surface? With the weight of a hand and pushing down, it kinda looks like it would bend? It's for an 8-10 year old
Answer:	5 would be a perfect age because they should be able to make these by themselves. (or with just a little help) My 4 year old grandson loved making these bugs but he needed help.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the work area on this
Answer:	I have used it with my 24 month old. It was no problem. She needed assistance with all of the steps and the finished project looked like it was done by, well, a two year old. However, she had fun and she was very proud of it when she was finished. She had to run and show her Mommy and say "Look what I did." I have done similar projects when she was 18 months old, and I think you could use this one at that age too. Again, with the caveat that they will need assistance and it will not look at all neat at the end.
Question:	Has anyone used this product on an airplane
Answer:	Everything you need is included (paper plates also). I bought these for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter and she loved them. I however took someone's advice and ordered the self dispensing glue dots to use, we used both the glue and the glue dots but the glue dots allowed the project to be handled without having to wait for the glue to dry.

User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of crayons/markers do you use with this book? Do they wipe off easily
Answer:	It’s regular thick paper so nothing wipes off. Any crayons will do. Skinny-tipped markets seem better (won’t bleed) as much as the thick tipped fat ones, but markers are also fine. My kids loved these spiral pads!
Question:	Does it come with markers or crayons
Answer:	No crayons or markers.
Question:	I'd like to travel with this coloring book on an airplane in checked luggage. Can someone tell me how much this book weighs
Answer:	It’s small... pretty ideal for a trip
Question:	What is the size of the pages
Answer:	The pages are 10 inches by 10 inches a good size for toddlers and children up to 5. Each page has an incomplete picture on it and the child must finish it. My grandchildren love this book. We are on our second one now.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this toy be considered a choking hazard
Answer:	The sides do not fold over where the paper goes, but there are elastic corners to hold the paper in place.
Question:	are they Made in China
Answer:	No it's just the desk itself. You can fit regular 8 1/2 x 11 paper on the top and any variety of pens/crayons/etc in the 2 pockets.
Question:	Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the letters themselves
Answer:	It's like a thick piece of cardboard, covered by the vinyl-like cover. My daughter hasn't had trouble with sharp color pencils busting through paper or anything like that. We've had ours since early summer 2016 and it's held up well to a 6 year old that never ceases to draw things. Just remember to ask your child to close the side pouches as they are somewhat prone to dump their contents if not secured. (not a fault of the product).
Question:	what age appropriate
Answer:	I think it will fit. It will be a little bigger than an airplane tray. However, it is sturdy enough that your child can use it without the tray.
