No. Paint will not adhere to polyethylene plastic and could damage the polymer structure that makes up our toys.

This is an environmental concern. We advise you to contact a local pest company. Be sure to tell them that you have a child's play product made of polyethylene plastic. This will aid them in determining the proper method to alleviate your particular situation.

Exposure to extreme cold can be harmful to plastic (in colder weather plastic can become less resilient). If you normally experience temperatures below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius), you should consider storing your Little Tikes® product in a warmer, more protected area, like a shed or garage.  

Little Tikes® plastic is fade-resistant, but not fade-proof. While we add fade inhibitors to our outdoor products to help slow down the effect of ultraviolet light, it isn't possible to prevent fading over the long term. Colors can start to fade over time, especially if the product is left in an area where it is exposed to direct sunlight most of the day. Fading does not affect the integrity of our products in any way.

Little Tikes uses a plastic called 'Polyethylene' in the manufacture of outdoor products with double-walled construction. Polyethylene is a porous plastic that may absorb water. If your product needs to be drained, turn it on its side and/or drill small holes on the bottom - 1" away from any seam - to allow the water to drain. Drilling these holes will help prevent water from collecting again and will not affect the integrity of the product.

It helps to clean our plastic products periodically. To minimize abuse, children who fall within the age and weight recommendations specified on the product carton and/or assembly instructions should play with the product “as intended.” If the unit you have is assembled with capnuts, screws, or nuts and bolts, it is recommended you inspect them periodically, to ensure they are still tight and intact.

The service life of our products can depend on many external factors, including environmental conditions, the age, weight and number of children using the product, how and where the toy is stored, and how well the product is maintained.

The best method of cleaning plastic is to use hot water and a detergent solution with a soft bristled brush. We do not recommend one brand of cleaning product over another.

Currently, our online store offers the same savings offered in our print catalog, as well as some special offers on overstock or discontinued items (see our specials section). Special offers and discounts cannot be applied on previous purchases. No substitutions, please. Promotional or sale items are available while supplies last. We reserve the right to limit quantities.

Sorry, we do not have a parts catalog. Due to the ever-changing products we manufacture, it would be difficult to maintain an accurate printed parts listing.

Replacement parts for our products are only available through Little Tikes.   A variety of replacement parts and accessories are available for purchase through this website.  Click here to see what parts are available.   If you do not see the parts you need for your product, unfortunately, chances are the parts are no longer available.

We offer many great package specials at discounted price.  Our package specials were specifically designed with child cares in mind.  We have thoughtfully combined our products that we feel will best suite your needs.  We have over 75 different package specials ranging from infant toys, trucks, ride-ons and playground packages. 

In some cases, replacement parts can be interchanged from one product to another to help refurbish a toy.  Often times, parts are not interchangeable because there is no modern-day counterpart, or because we can't deviate from the original design for safety reasons.

Little Tikes generally forecasts replacement parts for toys for up to two years beyond the discontinuation date. However, the remaining parts availability period can vary greatly depending upon demand. Parts for discontinued products can sometimes be depleted earlier than projected.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
