FAQs

No, the wooden pieces are designed to slot together perfectly without the need for glue.
What is the recommended age range for this kit?
This kit is suitable for children between 5 and 12 years old.
Are the paints washable?
The included poster paints are generally easy to clean, but it is recommended to wear an apron or old clothes while crafting to prevent staining.
Does the kit require batteries?

Can I use my own paints?

Troubleshooting
Wooden pieces are difficult to slot together
Ensure all wooden tabs are free from excess splintered material and that you are matching the correct numbers or shapes indicated in the instructions.
The glow-in-the-dark stickers are not glowing brightly
The stickers require exposure to a strong light source (sunlight or a lamp) for at least 30 minutes to charge effectively before moving to a dark room.

To ensure your project lasts:
- Protect your workspace: Lay down newspaper or a craft mat before painting.
- Painting tips: Allow the base coat to dry completely before applying secondary colors or stickers.
- Cleaning: Wash the included brush and sponge with warm water and mild soap immediately after use to prevent paint from drying inside the bristles.
- Storage: Keep the completed model away from moisture to ensure the wooden structure remains sturdy over time.
