Could anyone tell me the measurements of the smallest piece? My youngest still puts things in his mouth so wondering about potential choking hazards.

The square is 1 1/2 in. per side and there are two triangles that when put together make up another square that size. It would not be for young children.

I have a 7yr old min pin who does not have all her teeth and the food is small enough for her to eat. I do wet it a little to make it softer, but the pieces are not large at all.

The smallest pieces in our sets are equilateral triangles with the sides 2 and 3/4 inches long. So the pieces themselves would not be a choking hazard. However, one caveat. Our grandson built a structure on a table in a sunroom where the floor was ceramic tile. His building was knocked off the table onto the tile floor, and one of the pieces "popped" open. The building tile itself was not broken but the two sides came apart and the six little magnets inside were scattered. Those narrow little magnets, 3/4 inch long, would definitely be a bad choking hazard for a baby or small child. The building tile was not broken. We were able to re-insert the magnets and press the two sides of the tile back together, but I threw that tile away in case it had been weakened. I alerted all our eight grandchildren's parents. It has never happened again. Kids' buildings have been knocked down constantly but always on wooden floors and there has been no further problem. Overall, it has been a fabulous toy. Our local grandson, now 8, still dashes to play with it every time he comes to our house. With a small child, however, I would want an adult to be watching them, just in case....

They are not too big nor too small. If you're worried your child will swallow, you're ok he/she will just be able to mouth it.

The smallest piece included:*Purple bin=blackberry cluster*Red bin=raspberry clusterEach cluster is 4 berries that will not come apart. It measures 2"Length and 1"WidthIf you are concerned with possible choking with the set, then YES there is a choking hazard. As with any children's product, with out proper supervision at all times even the safest tested toy can be a threat. Just remind the child that this is pretend food and it should not be put in a person's mouth. I hope this answer helps. It's a WONDERFUL and very realistic learning toy.

It has been a while since I saw them, I gave them to my nephews for their birthday, but if I remember correctly the biggest was about the size of a dollar bill, but they are really fat so no chance of any causing choking. They love them!!

Maybe its because of the little plastic animals that come with it. Although small, I never worried about my grandson choking on them, and he of course never did. Its a sweet little riding toy, any toddler will love. If you were worried about them, I guess you could just put them away.

They're smaller than I expected, maybe an inch tall. We're on vacation right now so I can't measure them but the "I and L" we're so small I wouldn't put them out for fear of my daughter choking on them. They are cute but probably better for a child that doesn't put stuff in their mouth. Hope this helps.

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.

I assume that the choking hazard refers to the little animals that came with it. But frankly, they are too large for my son to choke on.

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.

They are all tiny pieces. Not for young ones who puts toys in their mouths, nose or ears. My son has been playing with these since he was three, but we don't have any younger ones to worry about if the pieces are left out.

there are some small parts, for most children there should be low risk of choke hazards. younger children may require some help building it or putting it back together during play.

The only issue, as far as the listed choking hazard goes that I could see for a 1 year old, would be the smaller pieces with the round balls as tops. The Squigz Starter set pieces are all smooth and a smaller child could possibly put one of these in his/her mouth and have a problem getting it back out - the other pieces should be fine. You could just remove those ball pieces until the child's a little older. I see they sell a PipSquigz set now, which might be the answer for you - they look textured for a young one's senses and ease of grip. Either way, you can't go wrong! My 3 year old granddaughter's Squigz pieces are out all the time - I only wish these had been around when my sons were little. Enjoy!!

Yes, this is safe for a two year old. Nothing is small enough to fit in the mouth.

Same comment here. I would have considered buying five of these, but there's insufficient information about what the size actually is. Infant? Toddler? Preschool? School-age? You lost my purchase.
