I would like to buy this for a public library. Are any of the pieces small enough to be concerned w/ choking hazard (pass through a toilet paper tube) ?

I quickly checked for you. There are two pieces in this set that will fit through a toilet paper tube. out of the two, there is one that is about an inch and a half long.

Yes, there are some pieces that could easily pass through a toilet paper tube.

A lot of the pieces could fit into a tube that size. This is a great set, but, apart from the potential choking issue, they might be quite frustrating for a small child to build with. Also, you need at least 2 sets to be make interesting buildings. I would recommend a Melissa and Doug type building set for a library instead. There's sets out there that aren't as expensive as M&D; ones. Discount school supply often has blocks on sale.

Yes, the cylinder shaped pieces are about the diameter of a toilet paper tube.

No, You should be fine. There aren't really any small parts. I'd say the smallest piece is about the size of a ping pong ball.

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.

Hi- No, they are not a choking hazard. I tried to put one of the horses in a paper towel roll and I could not. They stand about 2 1/2-3 inches tall and maybe 3 inches long.

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.

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.

No, they would not pose a choking hazard. The wooden box that the horses come in might if it were broken.

Yes very suitable. I purchased this to use at a group home for mentally challenged residents and they really enjoyed it. I feel it would also be appropriate for children and they would enjoy it also.

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!!!

I agree it wouild be a choking hazard -- many of the pieces are candy-colored. Aside from that, it is a challenging puzzle best suited for older children and adults.

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.

Yes, it should be safe. The pieces are relatively large. The 1-1/2 year old brother would likely be able to chew on the smaller pieces but they should be too large to cause a choke hazard.

I bought it for my 3 year old and he has no problem. All pieces with the exception of a couple can be swallowed (ladder inside deck & support for flying plane) if you are concerned about choke hazard simply remove those two pieces and should be fine. I removed the two pieces and my one year old ustedes the carrier a lot. It has also been a big hit with my 3 year old.

There are no loose parts. There are stickers but they are large and you can leave them off. The animals would not fit through a toilet paper tube, so not a choking hazard.

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.
