User questions & answers

Question:	What are the balls made of - plastic? wood
Answer:	You can purchase a replacement set (Current price $10 (Prime) here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M04YTFG I actually found that the balls which fit my twin nephews' other ball drop toys fit this toy. I purchased these for them and they LOVE that they shake and add an extra dimension to the noise of this toy. The only drawback is that these don't have "green" and they are plastic. Currently they are $8 (Prime) for a set of extras. They do hold up very well though considering the twins fight over them constantly and bang them around with the hammer and any other toy they can find. I don't advise smashing them hard though and always supervise play. https://www.amazon.com/Ball-Activity-Balls-Replacements-Action/dp/B01JDZYXGY/
Question:	how can I purchase extra balls
Answer:	Under product description, China is listed as the country of origin. For the price, these are certainly not made in Switzerland.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	Yes! My child put one of the balls in her mouth at 10 months. We had to take it away. Now we just let her play with the xylophone and hammer part.
Question:	Will the balls fit insdie the mouth of a 15 month old child
Answer:	Correct. The whole frame is wood. The keys would have to be metal.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this scratch easily on the dome with the use of the magnet
Answer:	Height: About 19 inches from floor to top of cushion.
Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	It is a DPI switch. I use it a lot. Flip it to go between fast and slow pointer speed. It is quite small for me (6'3"), but other than that I love it.
Question:	Received this today with no bird. It may have had a bird at one time, but there was a red string which appeared to have been at one time unknotted
Answer:	The ELECOM M-DT1DRBK & M-DT2DRBK run on AA batteries, not AAA, btw.I bought my first one model M-DT2DRBK on July 16th, 2016. Been using that one at work, 5 days a week 8-9 hours a day. I have replaced the batteries 3 times since then. So my desktop one seems to be lasting me 2.5ish months. I bought a second one model M-DT1DRBK on July 24th, 2016 and keep in my EDC bag along with my Acer 2-in-1 for use near exclusively with Photoshop & Lightroom. I keep that one powered off when not in active use and I've had replaced the batteries just once.I'm sure if I bothered to click the bottom of the work mouse to power it off on weekends and at the end of my shift it would help with the frequency of battery change outs, but I'm lazy. And the mouse is more than worth keeping a pack of AA batteries around at work. I'm actually buying a 3rd ELECOM for desktop use away from work. I don't see any difference in quality, functionality, size, or appearance between the $55 M-DT2DRBK and the $44.90 M-DT1DRBK, TBH. I'll probably just snag another M-DT1DRBK.
Question:	Is bird attached in any way to avoid getting lost
Answer:	Yes it pops out quite easily if you have grip strength if not you can poke a pen from the back and it will pop right out. I swapped the ball from my other track ball that was blue and not black and it works better now.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this too babyish for a 6yo? I bought this for my 3yo and wonder8g if I should get another for brother or look for something “older
Answer:	I think the 6 year old will just show the 3 year old how to use it. I got it for my 2 year old and she didn’t know what to do with it so my 6 year old took over i think he likes it more then her. But there are a lot of parts to share. And he did lose interest after he made something.
Question:	is it ok for a 2 yr old
Answer:	There are some small pieces so if your 2 year old is good with not putting things in their mouth, I would say go for it. If they are still can't be trusted in that department, I would wait.
Question:	Are the wooden holes threaded
Answer:	No. You have to use the nuts to hold the bolts/screws into place. They work very well and do not come loose easily. We have several Hape building sets and love them!
Question:	Do these wood pieces and parts use the same material and are of the same size as hape basic builder set? thanks
