Are the magnets that are attached to the strings small enough to be choking hazards? How big are they?

I suppose they *could* be, but they're easily larger than a tootsie roll, so your little one would need to be pretty determined. I have two kiddos and haven't ever had to worry about this.

The pieces are way too small for 19 months. My 3 year old grand son plays with it, but under direct supervision. It is a potential choking hazard.

No, all the peices are quite large. The smallest pieces are the "toppings" and they are larger than anything that would be a choking hazard.

No, i don't think they are choking hazard. I bought this for my 2 year old one year ago and she did just fine - built it up and then tore it back down. My 6 month old plays with them just fine too, she will just gnaw on them when ever she can get her hands on them. Hope that helps :)

I can't imagine where the choking hazard would be unless they think a knob would fall off or a screw would somehow get loose.. We purchased this for twin girls about 2 1/2 years old & they love it!!!

They're hung with string, the knot in the string is what keeps the toys from falling off. So yes, you could remove the toys with little trouble and replace them with anything hanging on a string. BTW this toy doubles as a walker in later infancy according to my twins!

My baby plays with them all the time and has never had a problem with them. Honestly, I don't see how it could be a problem. Even individually, none of the pieces are large enough for the baby to swallow.

They are small so not for little little kids who could choke but I have seen kids older than 10 enjoying them

I believe the package said 6+ months. I think you could probably give them to a 4 or 5 month old and be fine since there aren't any small parts for a choking hazard. My baby was 6 months old when I gave them to her but she started playing with ball-like items about a month or so earlier.

I see that others responded with exact sizes, I can tell you that none are even close to choking hazard, in spite of the choking hazard listed. The hippo is largest at around 7in and the smallest is about 3in - we have several of these sets and my daughter was 6mths old when we bought the first. Obviously she wasn't playing with them yet, but even then they were all safe. These are the largest size toys of this nature I've seen in sets for this price. They are high quality, classroom type toys. Hope this helps!

I think so. The blueberries are my only concern. My three year old likes to put them in your mouth and can fit the whole thing in her mouth. To me that's the only real choking hazard.

Took a measure to them and some of the smaller pieces are as small as 1" x 1/2", so yes, a choking hazard for younger children is a real possibility.

Yes, it's still all magnet on the back, however some of the letters are small enough to be choking hazards on their own. Hope this helps.

I gave it to my grandson when he had just turned two. The animals that come with it seem big enough so as not to be a choking hazard.

They are all fairly large, not a choking hazard size of that is your concern.

Actually anyone can choke on anything. Some people let their toddlers around all types of things and puzzles pieces are no different. So I see nothing wrong with the Caution sentence.
