Toxic smell and mouth-numbing taste
By Baby J
Love the idea of this product, but don't give to your baby or toddler. It smells very strongly of chemicals, and if you taste it, like all babies do, it will make your mouth and tongue numb. Funny, I thought it was supposed to be safe...

Wooden is best
By Miranda Cartier
I purchased these for my son because I am trying to minimize the amount of plastic he puts in his mouth. This set is great for developmental play. He's 8 1/2 months old so doesn't quite get the nesting/stacking concept, but he likes to knock them down if stacked up and they are a wonderful wooden material that I don't worry about him chewing on these at all. As he grows he's found more innovative things to do with the bowls, and these were a great addition to the toys we already have.

Great Toy, a bit smaller than expected
By John Debes
We were looking for nesting bowls made out of wood rather than plastic and this popped up. Our ten month old daughter loves them, they've been percussion instruments, a stacking toy, and a food bowl, so their simplicity is a big strength for your child's imagination. We also have peace of mind as parents that this product will not leach chemicals typically associated with softer plastics. We did remove the smallest bowl because the product is smaller than appears in the pictures and we were concerned it might present a choking hazard until our daughter is a bit older (the rule of thumb is that anything that fits in a toilet paper tube could present a choking hazard)
Product Description
These five adorable little wooden bowls can be nested together, stacked in a variety of ways, or used imaginatively as play dishes and cups: these stacking bowls are incredibly versatile! While playing, young children can learn about size and sequencing as well as exercise their fine motor skills. Durable, heirloom-quality toy is a great addition to any daycare, preschool, or home. Stacked height is apx. 8 inches, apx. 4 inches in diameter. The largest bowl measures 4 in. diameter by 1.5-inches tall. The smallest bowl measures approximately 1.25-inches in diameter. Made in Germany. These small wooden bowls from Grimm's (in the rainbow colors) was a winner of the prestigious SPIEL GUT ("Good Toy") Award, -- a quality mark awarded by the German Design Association's Committee of Games and Toys. Such an award recognizes high quality children toys that are also ecologically sensible. This toy is made from European alder wood and finished with nontoxic, water based dyes. Wood is an ideal material for children's toys, as bacteria cannot reproduce on wood. Most Grimm's products are grinded by hand -- which gives a more charming expression compared to machined products. All dyes used are water based and in accordance with EN-71, are harmless to your health and suitable for children toys. The same is true for the natural oil used.
