What kind of paint is used? My toddler still puts everything in his mouth so I worry about toxicity.

I am not sure what kind of paint the sticks are made from but I would not recommend them for a child putting things in their mouth because even when you rub them together, the paint comes off. I believe they were made for school age music classes. Hope this helps.

Hi Stephanie. No, it's plastic. I suggest you try decals if you can't paint. They look so gorgeous and there are so many options. I bought some for my daughter's room and they look like hand paintings, so beautiful. There's different quality products out there so check out reviews and so on. Search in amazon for 'boy room decals' (or something like that), and you'll get some options there. You can change the entire look of the room and if your kid is not too young, they can actually help you do this. My kids were very excited decorating each other's rooms (boy and girl). Good luck :)

Hi Brandon, my apologies for the late response. I checked the box along with the instructions and no where does it say that it's food safe. I personally only used the painted pottery for display purposes only. I hope this information helps. Have a great weekend! - Jenn

I use a cheap paint brush. Be careful of splatter on walls as it will stain.

My 2 year old daughter uses "washable" crayons and markers and those come off very easily (wet paper towel, no scrubbing). I'm not sure about regular paints and markers.

Tell your kid not to eat the paint. If he eats paint that's called natural selection.

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

Hi. The material is not course enough for the paint to bite into and will eventually start flaking off. Hope this helps.

I called Melissa & Doug and they verified there is no lead in any of their products (including magnets). Also, all paint is non-toxic.

I chose these over the crayola kids paint because I read reviews that state the crayola kids paint comes in 2 oz bottles. I was thinking more paint and less hassle to replenish. I am sure both products are great.

I emailed the company and asked about the paint and they said that they use a non-toxic, water-based paint. If there is any lead present then they would be in violation of safety codes. You might ask the company about third party testing steps that they take if you are concerned about the potential of lead.

Dear Kimberly. I am not an expert but again based on exp. I have a 1 year old who is using these cars on daily basis its good to monitor them when they have it in their hands but and best to have them play it on a carpet than tiles as the paint comes of when played on a hard surface . and cannot come off just by putting in the mouth as the paint used is of high quality

Sorry I don't know where but you have a valid and smart concern.. however for what it's worth I am a chemist and makeup artist with love in quality of product, and observing the wear and tear the ink/paint is holding fantastic as well as the base and structure of the product itself. If any pieces had fallen off I would of brought it into the lab I work for and tested it under the concern that Bubba(my doggie and closest chum) might get sick from bad product.. I'm a bit obsessive yes :) And so..I think it's a great toy and crazy funny when the teeth face out. When you mentioned your worrie I thought, damn I should of thought of that. So hope this was more than thorough :) Enjoy!

info@crownlaboratories.com I suggest e-mailing the manufacturer at the preceding address and push it to them. Although they re[resent it as safe and it appears to not contain harsh ingredients, I can't confirm its safety. It contains zinc and titanium dioxide but is not recommended for infants under 6 months.

My kids love playing with it in the water (sprinkler, bucket, etc) and I have not found a way to get it out of the clothes. The black is by far the worst offender. They've also taken to 'painting' on the side of the house with their chalk paint (vinyl siding) and it takes a magic eraser to get all the black (and sometimes green/red) off. I'm here scouring reviews to see if anyone has a suggestion for clothes... otherwise I have several cute outfits (for all 3 kids) that are ruined. :/
