<P> Casting director Renee Rousselot searched over 1,000 small children for someone to portray Adam , the newest addition to the Szalinski clan . She searched for mostly three - to four - year - old boys because a younger child was thought to be problematic . She came across twins Daniel and Joshua Shalikar , from New Jersey and immediately cast them in December 1990 . One twin would act in the morning , while the other was eating lunch or taking a nap . Baby consultant Elaine Hall Katz and director Randal Kleiser would plan the twins ' scenes a week in advance . Tom Smith reported that , `` On his own , Dan was almost too adventuresome to repeat one move , and Josh seemed very cautious . Put them together and they could do anything . '' However , the film did have difficulties in working with such small children , and one crew member later remarked it was `` like playing hopscotch on hot coals '' . At the time , the Shalikar twins were scheduled to appear in two more Honey films . They did appear once , but were recast in Honey , We Shrunk Ourselves . </P>
