I bought these for my daughter as a Christmas present when she was 21 months old. They are very well made and very cute. I like that they are wood and cloth with non-toxic stains/paints and no plastic. Unfortunately, the mommy cow's head broke off after an enthusiastic throw by our daughter. I guess this is the risk when playing with a wooden toy on a hardwood floor! I do not think it has anything to do with the quality of the toy, just an aspect of wooden toys that is different from plastic. If you are looking to avoid the risks of plastic toys, this is a great alternative.
