Troubleshooting

Mosaic sticker not sticking well.

Ensure the surface of the picture is clean and dry. Press the mosaic sticker firmly onto the designated area for a few seconds. If the adhesive seems weak, ensure the sticker has not been exposed to dust or moisture.

Child struggling with precise placement.

Encourage the child to take their time and focus on one section at a time. For younger children (7-8 years old), an adult can offer gentle guidance on alignment. Remind them that perfection isn't the goal, but rather the process of creation.

Ran out of a specific color mosaic.

While unlikely given the generous quantity, review the instruction booklet for color guides. If a specific color is truly depleted, the child can creatively substitute with a similar color or leave a small area un-mosaiced.

Picture is bent or creased.

Handle the cardboard pictures with care. If a minor crease occurs, try to gently flatten it before applying mosaics. For significant damage, contact customer support if replacement is deemed necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply open the box, unpack the 5 pictures, 14 mosaic sheets, and the instruction booklet. Ensure a clean, flat surface is available for the child to work on. The mosaics are self-adhesive, so no glue or other tools are necessary.

Compatibility: This product is designed for individual use by children. There are no electronic components or external devices required. The activity is self-contained.

Care: Keep the mosaic stickers away from moisture to maintain their adhesive quality. Store unused mosaic sheets in their original packaging or a sealed bag to prevent them from drying out or losing stickiness. The finished cardboard pictures can be lightly dusted with a dry cloth if they accumulate dust. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading.
