I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. If I get these for the 3 year old, the 1 year old will mouth them. Is the paint non-toxic?

Being a Mother and a Grandma I would not let my one year old play with the hot wheels due to little parts, little tires etc....etc......and chocking could accure. I believe there is a age limit on this toy.

Dear Kimberly. I am not an expert but again based on exp. I have a 1 year old who is using these cars on daily basis its good to monitor them when they have it in their hands but and best to have them play it on a carpet than tiles as the paint comes of when played on a hard surface . and cannot come off just by putting in the mouth as the paint used is of high quality

Adding to the below not sure if its toxic the paint and thats something i need to look at. + the parts dont come off as I have around 200+ hot wheels and have had no damages till date though its been thrown around several times.

Shane,I was concerned about the same thing, the closest thing I came to an answer is this web sight. http://www.non-toxickids.net/2007/11/melissa-and-doug-wood-toys-safe-or-not.htmlBut, like they said, who really knows. These are sturdy little vehicles, but like on reader commented, my grandsons mother dropped one on her toe and it was very painful. If you go to there web sight they have a statement about the safety of there toys.Terry

That is exactly what I used it for. This paint is designed for school children. So it is non-toxic, even if accidentally consumed orally.

Probably ok if your 17 month old doesn't like to put stuff in his/her mouth. It is non-toxic but is a choking hazard depending on the size of the piece. It isn't particularly messy but play with it on a very washable table.

Any glue and paint is non-toxic. It has been really enjoyed by my 2.5 year old granddaughter. The screws to put on the doors need to be wood screws and the ones included did not work. Only complaint I have. Very sturdy

The only issue, as far as the listed choking hazard goes that I could see for a 1 year old, would be the smaller pieces with the round balls as tops. The Squigz Starter set pieces are all smooth and a smaller child could possibly put one of these in his/her mouth and have a problem getting it back out - the other pieces should be fine. You could just remove those ball pieces until the child's a little older. I see they sell a PipSquigz set now, which might be the answer for you - they look textured for a young one's senses and ease of grip. Either way, you can't go wrong! My 3 year old granddaughter's Squigz pieces are out all the time - I only wish these had been around when my sons were little. Enjoy!!

I use them in our school district preschool not 3 and 4 year classes. We cannot have anything toxic in the room. The only problem I can think of is getting poke in the eye with the tip of a marker. But you could have that problem with anything including a finger

No toxic paint on Fisher -Price Little People Farm that I am aware, My children and Grandchildren have played with this farm new and old for years.

I am not sure what kind of paint the sticks are made from but I would not recommend them for a child putting things in their mouth because even when you rub them together, the paint comes off. I believe they were made for school age music classes. Hope this helps.

I tried this colors with my one year old. She didn't eat it or anything but the paint process wasn't fun at all, since the colors are very dull. If you afraid that your LO get some paint in her mouse, just mix yogurt and food coloring.... Works great, bright colors and lots of fun.

Not sure.... I turned A pack of 2-6 year old lose on these canvases with tempura and finger paint and had no issues. Canvas is pretty thick, but we didn't put any kind of markers anywhere near the wild kid-beasts, lol....

I am not sure why it is not recommended for children younger than 3+ yrs. I bought these for a play area in my house that is all tile and my daughter has been playing on them since she was a year old. She is now 2 1/2 yrs old and we have never had issues. The boarders of the mats are removable so maybe this is why, but even so, they are so big, I personally don't feel like they are a chocking hazard. Hope this helps.

I have not experienced any issues with odor and no paint chipping. My granddaughter plays with these regularly without any issues or concerns.

I have no idea about Non-toxic? I presume so since this is aimed at very young children! Companies can be ruthless so I would recommend you double check. My kids were past the chewing stage when I purchased this. The insert are plastic sleeves but very durable. Mine are still in very good shape.

I would NOT use them especially for young children. There's a high chance that they will disintegrate /MELT anything that is made of plastic. .. (children's toys, car seat trim, drinking cups.) Its a Plasticizer(melts plastic) I personally would go with the spray. ..I've NEVER had a problem with it..just make sure it's very dry before your child begins any activity. Hope this helps.
