How small is the smallest piece? I mean, does it have anything that might be a chocking hazzard? I dont want to take any chances with less than 3yo.

If I remember correctly, the pieces to this are all big enough that you don't have to worry about a choking hazard. My Grandson was three when I bought the set and since that time, a 2 year old child was adopted and plays with the set too. Haven't had any problems.

the pieces were a good size but I still watched my daughter play with it first to explain not to put it in her mouth. I feel the pieces are big enough that it would be difficult to swallow. if u do see any piece u are uncomfortable with I would take it out for the time being til u feel more comfortable.

There are some pretry small pieces... I don't let my 15 month old play with them. The quality of the toy is great though. I wouldn't hesitate purchasing it... just remove the smaller items until you're sure that your little one won't gnaw on them. :) Hope this helps. If you like, email me and I'll send you a pic of the smaller bits next to a ruler. Can't be too careful. :) heathereshea@yahoo.com

I bought it for my older daughter who was 5 at the time, but let my two year old play with it under supervision. There are pieces that are (shoes) very small and I was not sure if she would put them in her mouth.

Some of the pieces are very tiny. I would not give it to a child that young.

I would be careful with a 2 year old. How much longer before he turns 3? My children were 6 and 4 so my youngest is slightly older but not much. My youngest likes to jump off of EVERYTHING so he loves it!

It's perfect for 3-5, he may be too big for it. Plus it does not do very fast but is nice for a toddler.

I would suggest that it falls in between these two suggested age groups. My girls are 3.75 and 5.75 and they have both played with this set for the past year. Because there are small pieces, this definitely is not appropriate for one or two-year-olds or any child who is prone to put things in his mouth or nose. But my three-year-old has enjoyed exploring this on a regular basis since she was about 2.75.

The smallest are 3-4" (the penguin & monkey), the others are between 7-9" - they are all good size, much larger than what you'd typically find in this type of set. We have 3 different sets of this line, I don't worry about even the smallest ones being a choking hazard. My daughter has had them in her playroom since before she was even 1.

yes, I don't believe there are a lot of real small pieces to the set. The blueberries are probably the smallest piece there. The cheese's pointed edges may cause an issue, but other than that it should be ok. The pieces, like the cereal in the bowl, do not come apart.

18 months is a good age. My son was about that age too. We always played with it together however, so I was assured he wasn't at risk for swallowing the pieces. He loved to make pizza and serve it to me. The toy is away in the cupboard now until my second child (who is 1) is a little older.

Hi,No small pieces. They don't come apart and are very tough. Our 18 month old grandson has done his best to chew them but they still look like new!Hope that is helpful.Roger

In my opinion they are not small enough to pose a choking hazard to a 7 mo. old. I don't believe any of the pieces are small enough to choke on.

We bought this for my 3 year old at the time. He is now 5. I would say its perfect for 2 little ones ages 2 or 3, but as for two kids over 5, I would say it would be a bit crowded as my son barely has enough room to sit in middle and play with his toys around him. They would fit, but it wouldn't be very roomy.

I have this in my daycare but I would not recommend it for a child under two without very close supervision. It is a really nice set that a four year old would love and would be good if she could play with it out of the one year olds reach but maybe one of the other wooden food sets would be a better choice. We have many of the sets and the kids love them all.

I haven't opened this, but we have similar sets. The blocks are small. Anywhere from a couple of inches or less. My 4 year old plays with blocks this size and we've never had a problem with him trying to put them in his mouth.

We had this for my littles. Baby Jesus is definetly a choking risk. Its OK for lil ones to play with, but they do need to be supervised. Personally I say go for it. Treat it as something special and keep it up when your not able to monitor.

My youngest is 4 now. If yours are like mine, they will play if once or twice & then go off it to other toys & maybe come back in couple of months & relook at it & then off again. The good thing about this is its big sized cardboard pieces so chance of pieces getting lost is quite low (as in how do you loose a piece thats 7 inches long). So its not bad & keeps them engaged for a short while. Hope this answers your question. If not, please do feel free to ask :)

My son is fifteen months (he was seven months when we got it for him) and he has little interest in it. There's a similar product at Target that he absolutely loves that it seems like everyone has. I would get that one (it's cheaper anyway). I can't imagine a three year old being interested in this.
