Is the paint on this dollhouse saliva proof? Eg if a kid chews or sucks on any of the pieces, will the paint come off or start bleeding?

When we gave it to our daughter she was 3 and had a little brother who was 1. I don't recall the one-year old ever chewing on the dollhouse or any accessories, but he probably did. I never noticed any paint flaking off or chipping. Very well made and our daughter, six now, still plays with it.

I am not sure about that. My daughter hasn't put any of the pieces in her mouth. The house is of really nice quality so I doubt that the paint would run.

If this is like all of the other plan sets we have, it will be stained rather than painted. This way if it is damaged the color is not removed. Plus the stains plan uses are plant based and non-toxic. My son used to absolutely gnaw on the pieces of the plan stacking tree and you can barely tell that he teethed on them for a few months. We have a lot of their plan city stuff and it has held up to tons of rough play. My son even uses the parking garage as a step stool to reach the light switch :/

Our daughter is 2 and does not chew on this, but the paint is very durable and does not bleed when we wipe it with a wet towel or has it even chipped from being knocked around.This is a very nice doll house and I would highly recommend it to anyone, our daughter loves playing with it.

I believe it's ceramic (like an enamel) I haven't had any issues with peeling or fading, the only problem I've ever had with paint chipping is on the bottom and due to condensation and abrasion since that bottle sits on a ceramic tile coaster daily and the two surfaces sometimes stick together with the condensation. The ones we use for the kids have been dropped, dented, and banged around with no paint chipping at all.

The peices are not metal but a hard plastic that is painted. We have played with it many times and and have had no issues with the paint bleeding on out hands. It is a beautiful set that I got for my grandsons' birthday and when he opened it every one was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship.

I don't know for sure but I am pretty sure the paint does not come off if they somehow get wet. This company makes high quality wooden toys.

We have not had any durability issues with this product. We do recommend using the proper toy cleaner, lube, and fanta-flesh powder or cornstarch to maintain it properly. It is covered under the manufacturers warranty, however, so if you have an issue, they will replace it for you.

I got this for my little girl when she was 2 for Christmas, as long as he is past the stage of putting things in his mouth its perfect for kids that age. But as mentioned there are bolts and screws that come with the workshop so if he still sticks things in his mouth ya might wanna avoid getting it.

It's solid wood and fits together well. The paint is bright and durable, but I think all paint is toxic depending on how much of it you eat. If your little one is still chewing on the bed perhaps it's better to keep the crib for a while longer.

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

We haven't had any issues with paint chips. But I can tell you my daughter absolutely loves this toy! ;)

Don't worry Momma San. The paint is made from fruit and vegetable dyes and is 100% natural so some paint rubbing off or "chipping" is totally okay and expected. I'm surprised that your daughter was able to puncture holes in it because my son has a really strong bite and a few bottom teeth and he's never even come close to puncturing it. Hopefully you found something else your daughter liked as much as Sophie.

I can't provide an official answer from the manufacturer, but I use them with kids ages 2 and up. I use these in my private practice with kids of all ages and they like them. The kids are 100% supervised, so choking or biting off pieces is not an issue.

It's not 'chalkboard'. It's painted / coated with a satin, maybe semi-gloss finish. My daughter did purchase the kit to turn it into a chalkboard. My grandson will be 4 in Oct., I got this for his second Christmas. It's used to eat on, play on, drawer, paint, play-doh......everything a toddler can possibly think of. I's holding up pretty good!

I can't see anything on the baby that might be considered a choking hazard, unless the tassel on the hat can be ripped off or the fingers and toes chewed off. Maybe if the child were able to rip the hand and legs off that are sewn to the soft body of the doll. But I think that if a child can do that then everything and anything is a choking hazard. The doll looks to be made well and I really can't think of what would be an easy choking hazard. Hope that helps!

The paint has rubbed off noticeably, but my baby has never punctured it with her 6 teeth. However, she prefers wood rings and Link-a-Doos to teethe on.

The colored seals you see in the picture are either a soft plastic or rubber and if I remember the packaging I think it said BPA free but I think it was talking about the stainless steel. If you're worried about the rubber or possibly sharp edges (someone else commented on possibly sharp edges) then I would remove the rubber bit and before giving them to your kids you can take the mold and plate off the stick ...this way the parts also don't go missing.

It was a while ago that we used this kit... But my recollection is that the paint sticks very well -- even permanent-like, but you can't put liquid in/on them. My daughter painted the inside and the outside, and extended wetness caused the paint to peel off. So, I'd say it's " permanent-like". Just don't put liquids in them. Totally fun project. My daughter loved doing it! But we did end up replacing with an already painted set because she insisted on putting water in the cups. ;)

I'm really glad I continued further down in the reviews. The first ones are raving about it. I almost purchased this for my soon to be Grandson. Thank you all for posting about the paint and the gagging. I will continue the search for a good teether/toy and stay clear of this.
