Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the stones requires no assembly; they are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. These stones are highly compatible with other sensory materials, including kinetic sand, play dough, and natural elements like pebbles or twigs. To maintain the integrity of the stones, rinse them with warm water and mild soap after messy play. Ensure they are thoroughly dried before storing them in a cool, dry place. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that might wear down the delicate surface detailing over time.
