as long as he is past putting every thing in his mouth it should be fine. It's messy for all ages till around 5 and you can insist they clean it themselves. Worth the mess considering how much kids enjoy it.

It is non-toxic according to the labeling, so sure, 100% ok as far as what is listed. Also, if you want a non-toxic filler that is cheaper, also use or mix this with different areas using a hot glue gun and a cheap pack of home depot or loews hot glue gun sticks, making sure they are the right diameter to fit in the gun.

The liquid can be used internally and the gel is for topical. My neighbor and her mother use both. Her mom has had great relief from the topical gel :-)

It works ok.no chemicals just open electricity. I would not let kids play near it.

In one sense, yes, but I would not try to eat it. We have had these canvas rafts before and they are the only pool toy we have found that stands up to the pool chemicals.

I don't think so. It says "siligel formula" which would indicate it may be made of silicone and I believe silicone toys will go bad when silicone lube is used.Regards,Bob

This is a very toxic poision. Although it could be used as you suggest I would not open the bag or handle the posion. The added risk of a pet or child coming in contact with the granules adds to the danger. Tomcat mouse killer bait stations are designed for indoor use, and I suggest that you try them first.

It's usually some sort of distilled water inside. Gel would mean the interior has a semisolid, which isn't the case.

Honestly, I don't believe that there are any harmful chemicals in this product. We received the same thing about a year ago...The map doesn't roll out for our back pack either. But our daughter just loves it, and still continues to play with it.

This product is made of safe, non toxic, phthalate free material. It contains high quality jelly rubber material.

Hmmmm good question no idea. The box is labeled with the ASTM D 4236 how this does not men it is not non toxic rather that it conforms to the art usage codes set forth by the American Standard institute being acceptable for use as an art product. So you my want to research it yourself . I would say it was probably ok to use with 6yo children and older but would not use it where young children would ingest the ink.

Honestly, It does have a strong weird chemical smell to them that caused me to stop using them almost right away(Am not really delicate but this one was really strong). I might suggest buying them for use and storage outside because of the smell, but I wouldn't buy them for use with kids at all.

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

A large tub of living sands was available for our kids to play with at an indoor park. The lady attending the area told me it was made of sand, shell & another unknown substance that the manufacturers won't release (I'm assuming because it makes the other 2 ingredients work as they do). She went on to say that it was non-toxic, glueten free & never dries out. This was my first and only experience with living sands.

Since the colors are molded into the plastic there is nothing that can be injested. The child would have to eat a piece of an item. The material is very sturdy so that would be very unlikely.

Yeah there's an internal button. It's metal and creates some chemical reaction because the gel transforms into a solid from the point of the button.
