what parents are saying
The only reason it is neautral and not love is because of the paint. I just wish it was something all natural since kids tend to put it in their mouths (even though they aren't supposed to). (Dec 28, 2017)

Love that it is wood, not plastic. Unfortunately my youngest likes to chew on the pieces and the paint comes off in his mouth. Some are the pieces are kind of heavy which makes me nervous if thrown. Apr 15, 2021
