Troubleshooting
Missing components
Please double-check the tin thoroughly, as small items can sometimes shift. If components are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or Apples to Pears customer service.
Play mat creased or torn
Gently flatten the mat under a heavy book on a flat surface for a few hours. For tears, consider placing clear tape on the underside to reinforce the area, being careful not to impede play.
Paint on dinosaurs is chipping
This can occur with heavy use. Ensure children are not biting or scratching the figures. For minor chips, consider leaving them as a sign of a well-loved toy, or consult with craft resources for potential minor touch-up paint options if desired (not officially supported).
