can they be used for a toddler who bites his fingers?

These finger sleeves come off extremely easily. No, I would definitely not recommend for a toddler. They may cause choking.

Sorry that we think it may be too big for a toddler. Sorry that it may be not suitable for you.

I think these might slip off too easily and therefore not suitable for a toddler, there'd be a danger of choking. Maybe you can rub his fingers with something instead, like lemon juice, or let him/her wear fabric bandages on the fingers?

No, a young child could easily cut their fingers. Not a toy. I like mine very much. It could be larger and I could use a grater that has larger holes. BUT it's a good one.

As long as they don't put things in their mouth. They do have batteries in them. My youngest will be three next month and is fine, but every kid is different.

Hi Joanne, I also have a 2 year old and used it on her. I just made sure that I didn't put it on her hands that she puts in her mouth. I also used it on my 3 month old's legs. :)

Yes; a toddler would likely be able to open these. They don't seem to shut very tightly.

I don't know but I would not buy them. Baby did not want anything to do with them. Waste of money. you can just wet a piece of washcloth, freeze it and get the same result. He liked the traditional cool teething rings so much better.

I think so. They may not be best for babies, but they should work well for toddlers, kids, adults, unless they have extremely sensitive skin.

Yes...they easily remove...even a baby can take them off, but she used to chew on those instead of her crib...now we use them on her toddler bed just in case!

Absolutely! My Henckels are extremely dangerous finger biters now. If you drop one you don't dare grab for it.

The forks are not pointy so they won't hurt if baby pokes himself, but can stab into soft items such as watermelon, honey dew melon etc. Also the fork and spoon are super wide making it hard if your child has a small mouth.

I don't know how big a 5 year old's mouth is. I would try the slim model. The bite wings are about 2 inches apart.

Absolutely. They're kind of like knobby terry wash cloths, and they have so many edges that it's easy for them to get some part of it in their mouths. The grapes are maybe three inches across the top of the bunch, but any baby could chew on a stem, leaf, or corner, if nothing else.I didn't give them to my son until he started cutting teeth at four months, but there would be no harm in letting a three month old chew/suck on them. They're not a choking hazard, and they're fun when frozen. I just wring them out before I freeze them so they don't get everything wet as they melt. These are my son's favorite teething toys.

Depends on the child. If they still put things in their mouth I would say no. Our grandson, if I remember correctly, started really playing with them around 4 1/2.

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

I'm surprised by the last comment about them pinching fingers. My 3 year old plays with them almost daily and we have never had a pinch. Like the other answers said, the dolls can only sit when they are not dressed. There is no way I will buy the rubber ones again-oh and those rip apart so they don't last forever either.

yes they can. you can also dip them in your babys food and have them chew on it.

In my opinion yes. Younger than that no, because one of ours had the rubber-band that goes around the finger come off somehow and I would be afraid of a younger child putting that in their mouth. I do have a 13 month old and she looked at it for a bit while I held her, but it didn't really interest her.
