I even checked the ones in store in case i just got bad ones. Smelled kind of like wet paint... really chemically. Don't want that going in my kids mouths! ew!<br /> @Littlebit7: I love wooden ones but they're usually more expensive... we have some as parts of puzzles though<br /> @Mama Bird: I think i'm going to get these! They're not as "realistic" but they're cute and have good reviews (and no one mentions smell)</p> <p>Thanks for everyone's help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plastic-animals-that-dont-smell#post-2791037 Sat, 09 Dec 2017 10:14:20 +0000 Mama Bird 2791037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Little People animals seem fine, no smell right out of the box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plastic-animals-that-dont-smell#post-2791028 Sat, 09 Dec 2017 08:50:54 +0000 Littlebit7 2791028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Playmobil? I've never noticed a smell. There are small parts though in most sets so keep that in mind.</p> <p>ETA: what about wooden animals? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plastic-animals-that-dont-smell#post-2791018 Sat, 09 Dec 2017 01:30:27 +0000 DesertDreams88 2791018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not to be unhelpful, but couldn't you just let them air out? most plastic smell is just from being trapped in a bag/package, methinks.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plastic-animals-that-dont-smell#post-2791015 Sat, 09 Dec 2017 00:03:44 +0000 theotherstark 2791015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son (and I!) love the Schleich animals. They don’t smell, in my opinion, but they are pretty pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plastic-animals-that-dont-smell#post-2791006 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 22:19:12 +0000 jhd 2791006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My younger brother was obsessed with animals and we had lots of Scleich brand animals. My mom still has a bunch of them and LO plays with them. No idea if they smell though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plastic-animals-that-dont-smell#post-2791005 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 22:16:50 +0000 LaughLines 2791005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old dd asked for "all the animals" for Christmas. So I thought I'd get her a set of plastic animals. I ordered a set from Target that I liked because they weren't mini so I don't have to worry about choking hazard for the younger babies since I'm pregnant. However, when they came they smelled SO bad. Chemical smell. So I returned them (and checked the ones in store which smelled also)</p> <p>Does anyone have plastic animals that don't smell? I don't want to keep ordering/returning different brands. </p>
