what is the size of the pounding mallet? I want to be sure it is too large to fit in my child's mouth so he won't choke himself.

The mallet head is about 2 1/2 inches long and about inch thick. The handle is about 6 inches long and a little under an inch thick. Hope this helps. My 1 year old nice loves it. It's just hard to knock the wooden balls though at first. But the more you use it the easier it gets. In other words you gotta break it in

Our 1 year old loves this toy. Plays with it daily, and yes he is frequently trying to chew on the mallet. It's never been a concern for me though as it is too large for him to choke on it.

I allow ages 2 and up; however, to prevent the really young ones from smacking each other over the head with the mallet, I drilled a hole in the handle of the mallet and in the corner of the table and attached a string just long enough to reach the pegs. That is something the designer should have thought of.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I was afraid to buy a heavy toy that could hurt my little son but with your information, I'll order it straight away.

This is definitely an adult-size splint. Although adjustable, my opinion is that it would still be too large for a young child. I suggest doing a search for pediatric wrist splints.

Our son loved his mamaroo then one day hated it!!! Took the insert out a few days later and he loved it again, he was being smushed! Maybe 11-13lbs, she'll probably let you know.

The small would probably work for you.We got the large and it is approx. 5" in diameter. Good for pushing around but to big to put into the mouth.Mandy

Hi M. Stewart, I own a G9126 and even that it is a small beautiful guitar the neck is almost as wide as a regular size guitar. I think the space between frets and strings will be to big for a small hands kid. The Cordoba guilele and Yamaha gitalele will be more suitable for your kid (because of the thinner neck they have), they are both cheaper on price and quality but not that much on sound. The Yamaha comes in different colors.....you can also check smallguitars.com

The TEKTON 3179 mallet is just over 11", as described. The length of the handle is designed to counterbalance the weight of the head and allows lighter, more controlled strikes on delicate surfaces. For woodworking and crafts, I prefer the TEKTON mallet. For most gunsmithing, I use a brass mallet, which is about 3" shorter. For automotive applications, the larger rubber mallet is my first choice.

Deidre, I am not sure if it would or not?! I think it may be a little big for a child. I bet DenTeck might have an 800 number you could call and find out? Sorry I wasnt more helpful

I just measured it and it looks like Just shy of 1.5 inches or 38mm, at the neck. My daughter is 12yr old and about 5'2" and she can still play it just fine. I have big fingers so it is tight but doable if just to mess around or for travel.

In my meaningless opinion, unless the child has a very large mouth, this will not work for them. I have a small mouth and found the guard to be very uncomfortable and have now found that the guard works best as an expensive cat toy.

It is meant for a big dog, it is about 5 inches across, and two inces thick, like the size of a very large cibnamon roll, lol, the medium stick fits inside of ut to create a puzzle, i have a large mouth pitt bull i HIGHLY recommend this toy fir large breed heavy chewers, its solid, weighty.... we have had ours for quite a while and she has not destroyed it. Other toys last 5 minutes tops.

I see that others responded with exact sizes, I can tell you that none are even close to choking hazard, in spite of the choking hazard listed. The hippo is largest at around 7in and the smallest is about 3in - we have several of these sets and my daughter was 6mths old when we bought the first. Obviously she wasn't playing with them yet, but even then they were all safe. These are the largest size toys of this nature I've seen in sets for this price. They are high quality, classroom type toys. Hope this helps!

I haven't opened this, but we have similar sets. The blocks are small. Anywhere from a couple of inches or less. My 4 year old plays with blocks this size and we've never had a problem with him trying to put them in his mouth.

I'm not sure but if the child can fit the mouthpiece, he/she might. I've measured the size and it was roughly 2 inches horizontally and 1.5 inches vertically on the tallest part.

Its about the size and weight of a box of kleenex. You could fit it into a backpack. It doesn't have a lot of power, though, as RickBlues648 says, so if he's practicing with other kids it may not be powerful enough. If he's just practicing alone though he'd be better off with something like the Vox ampPlug headphone amp, which is about ~$40, fits in the palm of your hand, and is meant for headphones.

If it is a bit large you can get a strap. It is supposed to be a bit smaller then a regular one. If she is like my daughter then she will play and put away for awhile and then pick up again - she will grow into it. Not sure if you can get smaller without looking at something more custom. The other smaller guitars we found were more toyish and not as good quality - then there is the pink factor to consider - HTF.
