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

I'm sorry, I don't know. However, that is a good question, as I teach music to very young children I'd like to find out myself.

Hi Haley, Depending upon the age of your toddler, I would spray it in my mouth to show her that it's ok. And then, ask her if she would like to try it. If she says yes, then I would try one gentle spray. If she is too young or says no, I would spray it on a spoon and have her take it that way. In either case, I would tell her to swish it around in her mouth for 10-20 seconds as it is most effective when absorbed in the mouth, rather than by swallowing it.

At least glue. I did not realize that the model needed this and did not give the model as a gift because the child was too young to work at this level. The model does not say what types of paints are needed. So I would have to say yes. You will need to buy the glue and some paints.

I have to echo Bob, staining what? should never feed food in anything other than ceramic or stainless steel, safer for the pets. I've not ever had probs. with this food staining my stainless bowls though,,,

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!

I use tempera paint. You can get it on line or at a teaching supply store or web site or even at Walmart. It comes in liquid form in a choice of many colors. It also comes in a powder form that can be mixed with water to the consistency needed. When using the powder it is best to mix it with liquid starch. Because the starch is thick you can conserve on the powder. Poster paint is also OK. If the paint is to be used by small children it is best to make it thick enough to prevent it running down the easel.

The piece your baby's mouth will be on is plastic. The rest of the top is plastic with a silicone like coating on it.

I used a bleach solution on mine until I realized it was too harsh for baby's skin (rash). I now use the Method brand sanitizing cleanser. The material is very durable.

oh yea. this is the best most toxic you can still buy. make sure you use gloves and respirator. and use it out doors. poor in a can or plastic cup and use 3" cheap paint brush. coat liberally . wont take but couple minutes for it to wrinkle the paint . hose off with water. be very carful not to let any get on you or anything near it. this stuff is strong. don't breath vapors. cant believe they still sell it actually. store it in cool place. direct sun light sets this stuff off. after first coat. and rinse , you might need to re coat any minor spots. keep it away from your cars. Its worse than acid. does exactly what its suppose to. used it in autobody all my life. good luck. oh yea. this is the best most toxic you can still buy. make sure you use gloves and respirator. and use it out doors. poor in a can or plastic cup and use 3" cheap paint brush. coat liberally . wont take but couple minutes for it to wrinkle the paint . hose off with water. be very carful not to let any get on you or anything near it. this stuff is strong. don't breath vapors. cant believe they still sell it actually. store it in cool place. direct sun light sets this stuff off. after first coat. and rinse , you might need to re coat any minor spots. keep it away from your cars.

The manufacturer's web site: http://www.manhattantoy.com/p/skwish-classic , states that the toy is painted with water based, non-toxic paint.

Our set had the normal new plastic smell, but I definitely would not call it toxic. Maybe your set got left in the sun or something waiting to be shipped. It's a really cool toy that your kids will love so I'd swap it for a new one if I were you.

throw it in the dish washer... it says its dishwasher safe :)i would definitely not use clorox or any bleach like suggested above, not safe for babies!

I'd be sure to have a diaper on her as it's real quick. Here's a tip I found on Pinterest: use a paste of baking soda and food coloring (we like green) for "food" because there were several complaints about the food mix in the set getting clogged up the tube and getting smelly. I tried it once but I think the food mix was easier to feed....maybe my paste was too watery. Hope this helps

I would suggest a cleaner/wax. Sealers will seal any contaminants in; for this reason, you should always clean the paint as well as possible prior to application.
