Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure all wooden parts and fasteners are laid out on a clean, flat surface to prevent loss of small components. Use the provided model card to identify the correct sequence of assembly. The set is compatible with other items in the Janod Brico'Kids line, though it is designed as a standalone project. For care, keep the pieces in a dedicated storage bin when not in use to avoid losing the plastic fasteners. Wipe the wooden components with a dry or lightly dampened cloth to clean; avoid submerging them in water, as this may warp the natural material over time.
