FAQs
What age is this kit suitable for?
This kit is designed for children aged 6 and up.
Do the dinosaurs require batteries?
No, the dinosaurs do not require batteries. They glow in the dark after being charged by exposure to light.
How long do the dinosaurs glow?
The glow duration depends on the amount of light they absorb. They should glow for a period after being charged.
Can I add real plants to the terrarium?
This kit does not include plants. You could add small, low-maintenance plants if desired, but be mindful of the space available and the care required.
How do I clean the terrarium?
Clean the terrarium with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
What if I lose some of the components?
Unfortunately, replacement parts are not typically available. Keep all components together and supervise young children to prevent loss.
Is this kit safe for children?
Yes, but adult supervision is recommended, especially for younger children. The kit contains small parts that could be a choking hazard.
Troubleshooting
Dinosaurs are not glowing.
Ensure the dinosaurs have been exposed to bright light for some time. They need to absorb light to glow. Try placing the terrarium near a lamp or in direct sunlight for a few hours.
Stickers are not sticking well.
Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying the stickers. Press firmly on the stickers to ensure they adhere properly. You can also use a small amount of glue if needed.
