Does anyone know if a no.2 pencil could be used instead of the string? Is the whole big enough? Thanks

Yes! Easily! I just went and tried it for you and it fits with extra room around the pencil. You could even use a thicker tool if you wanted. Not quite as big around as a Sharpee marker but larger than a #2 pencil. Hope that helps. :)

Could a 1 1/2 year old play with this? It says "great for baby and child" but also says 3+

Yes, absolutely! 18 mo -2 years is the perfect age to introduce this toy. My daughter is also 18 months. She loves these beads but needs assistance lacing them. Over half the toys she plays with say 3+ for LIABILITY reasons, NOT because younger kids can't use them. While it may theoretically be possible for a child to wrap the lace around his or her neck or choke on a bead if they had an unusually large mouth, the chances of this happening with parents in the room is tiny.

How long are the laces?

These were sent as a gift. I don't know the length of laces but I do know she absolutely loves it and they have purchased another set.

Would this be to easy for a 3 and 4 year old?

My 2 year old is starting to learn how to lace, but still has some difficulty. I definitely think it'd be possible for a 3 and 4 year old.
