Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or too thin
If the paint is too thick, add a tiny amount of water (a drop at a time) and mix well. If too thin, allow it to air dry slightly or mix with a small amount of more viscous paint if available.
Balloon technique not producing desired texture
Ensure the balloon is adequately inflated but not over-inflated. Dip the balloon lightly into the paint and press gently onto the surface. Experiment with different pressures and amounts of paint on the balloon.
Cardboard tube stamping is smudged
Apply paint evenly to the edge of the cardboard tube. Press down firmly and lift straight up. Avoid smearing the paint on the surface.
Artworks don't stand up properly
Ensure the built-in 'legs' are fully unfolded and locked into position. Check that the artwork is on a flat, stable surface. If necessary, gently adjust the angle of the legs for better balance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Unpack all components from the hanging box. Lay out a protected surface for painting, such as newspaper or a plastic mat, as the kit involves paint. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate clothing or an apron. Each project can be tackled one at a time following the included step-by-step instructions.
Compatibility: This kit is designed as a standalone art activity and does not require external electronic devices or software. It is suitable for use with standard children's washable paints, though the included paints are specifically formulated for the kit's techniques.
Care: Store unused materials in a cool, dry place. Once artworks are complete and dry, they can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Any paint or material spills on surfaces should be cleaned according to the material's cleaning instructions.
