FAQs

What age is this tea set recommended for?

The recommended age is from 0 to 3 years, though adult supervision is advised for children under 3 due to small parts and the painting activity.

Can I use my own paints with this set?

The set includes specific paints. While other non-toxic paints suitable for porcelain could potentially be used, we recommend using the provided materials for best results.

Is the tea set safe for serving real drinks?

No, this tea set is intended for decorative purposes and imaginative play only. It is not food-safe or designed for serving actual beverages.

How large are the pieces in the tea set?

The pieces range in size from approximately 3 cm to 6 cm (about 1.2 to 2.4 inches) tall.

What is included in the 13-piece set?

How should I clean the painted tea set?

Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this can damage the painted surface.

What material is the tea set made of?

The product description states it is a porcelain mini tea set.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not sticking well.

Ensure the porcelain surface is clean and dry before painting. Use the provided paints as intended. Allow adequate drying time between coats if multiple layers are applied.

Paint colors are dull.

Ensure the paintbrush is adequately wet but not dripping. Some paint colors may require a second coat for vibrancy. If using the paint strip, ensure enough water is used to activate the pigment.

Small pieces are lost.

Keep all components within a designated play area and store them together in a container after use. Supervise children during play to prevent loss.

Tea set pieces chipped or broken.

Handle the porcelain pieces with care, especially during painting and play. Store them in a safe place away from potential impact.
