I pulled two dried navy beans out of my 2.5 yr old niece's nose just last week that she got out of a sensory bin and stuck up there for who-knows-what reason. Apparently not that unusual for this age :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-toy-too-small-for-25-3-year-olds#post-2687529 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:17:43 +0000 PinkElephant 2687529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @sauerkraut: @SweetiePie: Thanks. I am thinking it's probably ok.....I just was asked to speak to my 2.5 year old about sticking Play-Doh in her nose/ears at school, which makes me think that most of the other kids are out of that phase (if the teachers thought it was something worth remarking on...)</p> <p>I think I'm mostly just annoyed b/c I was expecting them to be a lot bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-toy-too-small-for-25-3-year-olds#post-2687528 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:16:15 +0000 SweetiePie 2687528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.4 yo here and I'd be fine with that. But he literally never puts anything in his mouth (never did even as an infant) so I'm just not worried as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-toy-too-small-for-25-3-year-olds#post-2687527 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:16:08 +0000 sauerkraut 2687527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not be upset about the size for that age range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-toy-too-small-for-25-3-year-olds#post-2687524 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:13:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2687524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought little erasers for my sons class so no, I think the duck would be fine ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-toy-too-small-for-25-3-year-olds#post-2687519 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 16:10:31 +0000 PinkElephant 2687519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So disappointed! I ordered some Valentine "mini ducks" from Amazon to put in the goodie bags for my DD's preschool class, and they are a lot smaller than I expected. We have some half-size holiday themed ducks at home, and I was expecting that size....these are REALLY mini (and yes, I know I should have read the description more thoroughly - my bad!) I had planned to also include heart bubbles and stickers - I'm trying to avoid candy/food. Aside from being more plastic junk (ha), would you be upset from a safety perspective if your 2.5 - 3 year old received these at a preschool party? For size reference, they're slightly wider than the cap on a Plum Organics pouch, and about double the height of the cap.</p> <p>All the kids had to be two by Sept 1st, so they're all at least 2.5; some are already 3, and many (most) have older siblings, so they're already exposed to small toys at home.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Vinyl-Mini-Valentine-Rubber-Duckies/dp/B000MBZH32/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1485464374&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=valentine+ducks" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Vinyl-Mini-Valentine-Rubber-Duckies/dp/B000MBZH32/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1485464374&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=valentine+ducks</a> </p>
