FAQs
What batteries are required for this puzzle?
Please check the specific battery compartment markings, as requirements can vary by production run.
Is this puzzle safe for toddlers?
Yes, it is designed for young children, but it is always recommended that play is supervised by an adult.
How do I clean the wooden pieces?
Wipe the pieces with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry completely before storing.
Can the sound be turned off?
The sound is triggered by light sensors; keeping the puzzle in a darker area or removing the batteries will stop the sound functionality.

Are the pieces large enough to be safe?
The pieces are designed for toddlers, but you should always monitor play to ensure pieces are not placed in the mouth.
Troubleshooting
The puzzle is not making sound when a piece is placed.
Check if the batteries are inserted correctly or need to be replaced. Ensure the sensor in the bottom of the slot is free from dust.
Sounds are playing incorrectly or skipping.
Ensure all pieces are fully pressed down into the slot. Verify that the board is on a completely flat, stable surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the puzzle, install the required batteries into the compartment located on the back of the board. Ensure that the sensor holes within each puzzle slot remain free of dust or debris for optimal sound activation. To clean the wooden pieces and the board, wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the board in water, as it contains electronic components that can be damaged by moisture. When not in use, store the puzzle in a cool, dry place to ensure the longevity of the sound-producing hardware.
