Troubleshooting
Stones are dirty from soil or sand
Soak the stones in warm, soapy water for a few minutes and scrub gently with a soft brush to clear out the textures.
Children are not sure how to use them
Begin by hiding them in a sensory bin to encourage discovery, or use a magnifying glass alongside the stones to compare the carvings with real insects found outdoors.
