User questions & answers

Question:	is it bpa safe
Answer:	Yes, if the base has a screw that secures it in place. It has a pointed end for sticking in the sand, but that is easily popped out with a flat-head screw driver. Then it will sit flat in the stand.
Question:	What age group is this item for
Answer:	when I need low height, I only use half pole. You can separate them. Or use garden bloomer pole and cut to your height, and put inside. it fits perfectly. I tie garden pole to the chair and put Umbrella using only top pole, so I do not need expensive stand and it is my adjusted height.
Question:	Does the lid snap on securely
Answer:	The pole is metal and in two pieces. Each piece of the pole is about 4 ft long - a little over 1 1/2" in diameter. The umbrella is about 5 1/2 ft across when opened - 1/2 that when closed. I didn't cut the bottom off to put it in a concrete stand. Just left it as it was. It is well made and very attractive. I use it on my patio. It is easy to close and open and the tilt control is easy to use. It come with a cloth carrying case that has a strap like handle - maybe 4 1/2 ft long. The only adjustment I had to make was the hole in the middle of my patio table was too large - but that was easy to fix. I do like this umbrella and would buy it again. Being in California Mine is outside year round, color is still bright and it looks really good. Hope this helps.
Question:	Is turtle lid suppose to fit??? Mine doesn't
Answer:	It is a nice weight, but not as thick as canvass. It comes in a matching fabric case along with two poles. I also ordered from Amazon the Quick & Easy In-Ground Umbrella Stand Pole Holder $12.97 + $4.08 shipping sold by FixFind. If you need this it is a very sturdy green plastic cork screw type holder with two orange handles that fold down for easy screwing into the ground, and then folds back up out of the way. You can then sit your umbrella pole inside that for a good and sturdy anchoring.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I buy extra Velcro balls anywhere that would work as good as the ones that came with it if not the same
Answer:	small stacked well
Question:	would this mitt work for catching a tennis ball
Answer:	These would require a lot of play-doh. I think it would be rather cumbersome. If you are looking for a toy to use with play-doh, I would consider the Melissa and Doug cookie set for sand.
Question:	How big is the velcro for catching? And is this one better than the froggy catch for surface area to catch ball
Answer:	My girls have used it during the ages 18 months-6. My 6 year old still plays with it on beach trips.
Question:	I see the balls only have strips of the Velcro for sticking to mitt... have you experienced any trouble with the ball not sticking to the mitt
Answer:	The height with lid is approx 3 inches tall. Without lid(just the cup) is 1.5 tall by 2.5 diameter. I'd say it's close in size to a real regular size cupcake.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are melissa and doug products BPA and phathlate free? thanks
Answer:	Unless you have a large amount of kinetic sand, they will be too big. I bought this set for our grandson and he uses them in a regular sandbox. It would probably take at least two pounds of kinetic sand to fill the smallest one. That is just a guess.
Question:	Is this a large pail? Looking for a prop for a newborn infant to sit in?? Is it big enough for a newborn to sit in for a quick picture
Answer:	It's a red orange
Question:	Is this a large pail? Looking for a prop for a newborn infant to sit in?? Is it big enough for a newborn to sit in for a quick picture
Answer:	The watering cans are a heavy plastic toy for children. My twin 2 yr old granddaughters never filled them with hot water. Filled with water from the hose outside, they are somewhat heavy. When dropped the bottoms crack and no longer hold water. Poor quality, Do NOT recommend!
Question:	can this be used by a 3 yr old and how big is the bucket
Answer:	The Pretty Petals Flower Watering Can holds 8 cups of water (1/2 gallon).

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this made in China
Answer:	Why on earth would that possibly matter?
Question:	how big are the pails
Answer:	I'm not sure of the consistency of kinetic sand.. But I do know that any sand which is damp WILL NOT pour through. If kinetic sand is dry and pourable like salt then it can
Question:	do these pails work with kinetic sand, or are they too big
Answer:	I will take a guess (It is stored in our toy hauler) and say it's around an inch , MAYBE an inch and a 1/4. It's not very big- It does allow the water to funnel through nicely and the same with dry sand-When the sand is wet, the effect is not the same-as it gets clogged. Hope this helps
Question:	Is the No. 2 bucket red or orange? Thanks
Answer:	If you put something in it with a certain consistency and do not change the consistency of what is in it (like put sand, with no stones in it and don't add or take away any) it seems like you could make it work as a timer if you time how long it takes, and then use that as the time? Maybe?

User questions & answers

Question:	Why no shovels come w buckets
Answer:	The Velcro on these are very strong. After loosing the original balls they used the small tennis balls, which worked fine.
Question:	How big is this bucket
Answer:	I would think so but never tried it. The balls that come with it are a little smaller than a tennis ball but fuzzy like one. Good luck!
Question:	Is the ‘smiley design’ on both sides of the bucket
Answer:	Approx. 3.5 x 5 - I'm not familiar with the froggy catch. My 3 year old can do this, but we try to throw the ball right at the Velcro.
Question:	How many gallons can this bucket hold
Answer:	Yes, the velcro strips are small enough that the ball does not stick every time.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the size of the treasure chest
Answer:	Hi Cristina! This sturdy chair holds up to 125 pounds...and it's so cute, too!
Question:	How does this close? Snap, magnet, not at all? Is it easy for little hands to open
Answer:	Wide enough. It’s a solid little chair. If a child is trying to stand up and puts his weight on the arms of the chair for support, it’ll tip over. But that’s something that kids learn very quickly not to do, so to me it was never an issue.
Question:	What is the chest made of
Answer:	Hi Kate! Yes, the frame for this adorable chair is made of sturdy and durable metal. Perfect for the beach, the backyard, or the sidelines at a sporting event!
Question:	Do the coins and gems sink in the water
Answer:	Up to 125 pounds

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the bag have a handle
Answer:	No it does not fold up.
Question:	My daughter is 4 years old and 42 inches tall (maybe an inch or so taller now). Would this work for her heightwise
Answer:	No the table does not fold up.
Question:	Picture differs from description
Answer:	We have a little table inside for eating and artwork. We use this one on the deck. My grandson LOVES this. He really gets a kick out of having picnics and the umbrella covers so much. Doesn't get too hot. Lots of room for friends also. Very easy set up and washes very well. Even got paint off of it
Question:	How many pounds dose this item hold
Answer:	The umbrella fits down into a hole in the middle of the table, which uses up some of the height, but it doesn't go all the way down. I would say the table is about 24" , maybe a bit more (I gave it to my grandkids so I am unable to answer precisely). it is the same height as the average kids table. It is very solid and actually seats more children that a regular shaped one. Love the size of the umbrella because it shades the children as well as the tabletop like some other tables. The only fault I can find is that the umbrella fades a bit after a couple of years in the sun--bot that is cosmetic only.

User questions & answers

Question:	is it durable for daily use with hot water
Answer:	There is no zipper.
Question:	Is the can at least a 1/2 gallon
Answer:	I attached it to a standard hose. My grandkids love this little gem.
Question:	Can you remove the "shower flower" to just get normal water flow
Answer:	We are using just a regular yard hose. My granddaughter loves this sprinkler!!
Question:	Does the whole green top come off
Answer:	The difference between this model and the older one are two main components. 1. The nozzle has been updated and performs more securely. (and) 2. The colors are brighter and should last longer. The old model is perfectly fine but with all newer items, this one is an upgrade. Thank you for your question.
