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.

Question:	What kind of crayons/markers do you use with this book? Do they wipe off easily

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:	Are the magnets supposed to stick regardless of the order you connect them, ours will only connect one way, not very good magnets
Answer:	Is not about the quality of magnets.. north and south poles attract. Like poles repel. This will be the case in any magnet regardless of strength. If it’s not hooking up one direction you would just have to flip it around
Question:	Can you wash them in the dishwasher
Answer:	I have washed mine in the dishwasher on the top rack. I put them in the bottle dishwasher basket so they don't fly around. No damage to them after washing.
Question:	Does it have PVC in it
Answer:	I don't know but don't buy them. They are a waste of money. The magnets don't even stick to each other.
Question:	Do these have a hole where water can go inside and squirt
Answer:	No. They are solid. Which is very nice.

Answer:	Yes they will as long as the wall is tile or fiberglass.

Question:	I have an acrylic claw foot tub. The wall next to our tub is wood / plaster (not tiled). Would these still stick to the inside of our tub for play

Question:	Do these pieces stick to the tub walls too? Or just tile
Answer:	I think I have my kits mixed up. I have bought so many. I think a light was needed.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the individual flutes be divided so one can go in each stocking
Answer:	Well, I bought it for my daughter when she was 5, but she played with it maybe 6 months. It's cheap enough that it seemed worth it. I would think though it would be more for 3-5Yrs.
Question:	If the kids suck instead of blow, will they get bath water in their mouths
Answer:	It depends on how much you want to help ;). I would say about 4-5 if you'd like to be there sitting with them. If you'd like them to work independently I'd say 6-7. Hope that helps.

Answer:	I think so. I have some Sharpies sorted in it and they fit well.
Question:	Would a 5 or 6 year old girl enjoy this, or is it for younger kids

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:	Anyone figure out what the cupcake liners are for
Answer:	No. We just finished the voc today. In addition to the Liners we has a couple of push-out/ cut-outs, pipe cleaners, pop sticks etc. My 4 1/2 year old grand daughter really loved this craft box and she did it mostly by herself with my supervision.
