Do I need to drill a hole first or are they self tapping

It really depends on the material you are using and the finish you want. Personally I would always use a small pilot hole to guide the screw and prevent the wood splitting but I would also countersink the head too. It takes next to no time and gives a much better finish - but then I'm a bit old school 😁

``im looking 5inches long in these can you tell me how long these are``

They are 40 mm long - roughly 1.5 inches, so nowhere near long enough for you. 5 inches equates to around 125 mm.

Can you use these to put a toddler bed together

They would work a treat, I put a six foot wooden garden fence up using these and it's still standing one year later.

Excellent product!

Excellent quality Zinc plated screws. Great price of £3.69 for box of 200.Used the whole box and found no defective or unusable screws. Screws drove in easily and when necessary to remove a few, they came out with no problems as well.Will definitely buy more if these and they look really nice too!
