Description says "WARNING:CHOKING HAZARD-- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs." are these made of plutonium or are there giant babys somewhere?

No, it's the packaging Edsel. My 70# BELL was delivered successfully to my house in a very sturdy and supportive package. Considering the bell's size and obvious mass and the unmanageable dangers it would present if it became loose and ballistic in shipment (have you every held an 80# weight at arms length and dropped it?) it had MANY separate sturdy small parts that held it fairly firmly in the shipping box, and as I recall the bell itself also was enclosed in a thick plastic-type bag. It's a good solid bell, Edsel, almost exactly on-weight and good-sized handle (I have large hands); so have FUN with it! Pax vobis... Captain Jack

They are a bigger Lego. Definitely more appropriate for younger. Mine is age 3-4 yrs.

I don't have the packaging anymore but I was guess 3+! They are sort of small and they have a small ball in the bottom of them (which is what it rolls on...the wheels don't roll) that could come out and be a choking hazard.

it says 6+ on most boxes. I think the age goes up for products that have potential choking hazards.

Whether your 2-year-old would like it or not is not the important question. Please note the manufacturer's warning in the yellow box: "WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. Not for Children Under 3." Apparently it can come apart into small pieces.

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 :)

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.

These figures were given to my grandsons ages 9 and 8 with their parents permission. If a child were younger, I think some of the removable parts might be a choking hazzard and I would hold off till older - even if they whine and cry. I know small children put things in their mouth with great regularity.

I got them for my 2 year old for his birthday. I don't think any are small enough to be choking hazards. Most are 4 inches (approx) long.

Not a choking hazard. I think they are perfectly sized for a 1-year-old, though I have to admit I don't love the selection of blocks included.

Im not really sure why this set is labeled 3 and up because it is the New Sprouts quality line of food and those are labeled 3 and up so Im not really sure why this toy has the label 3 and up unless they think the sorting and color matching is more at the 3yr old level. My daughter is 19mos old and plays with these toys I don't feel any of them are small enough to be a choking hazard, the smallest piece is the berries and since it's grouped in a cluster I don't really see how anybody could choke on that.

They are soft so younger children shouldn't have any problems playing with them. They do have strings and small batteries. Batteries have a cover that requires a tool so as long as parents supervise should not be and choking hazard with small parts. Cords are adjustable as well to better fit height.

I don't think I would give them to a child under three. The nuts can be big enough to choke a toddler, IMHO

Not unless your kid has a Godzilla size mouth. Seriously, no clue why the manufacturer states choking hazard; there aren't any small parts.

I bet that's a typo and it's for children ages 4+. I have my minion right next to me andI tugged on his hair, glasses, hands and feet, and none of the parts came off...I don't see a choking hazard here. He is the BEST!

Yes that's why they had to put an age requirement on this toy. I let my 2 year old play with these. He was always supervised. This is a great toy but if you let your child under 3 play with this set alone it could be considered a choking hazard.

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....
