Setup, Compatibility & Care
This puppet arrives ready for use right out of the packaging; no assembly is required. Because it is a textile-based toy, proper care is essential to maintain its vibrant appearance.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only. Avoid fully submerging the puppet in water to prevent damage to the internal squeaker mechanism.
- Storage: Store in a dry, dust-free environment to preserve the fabric's texture and color.
- Compatibility: Suitable for children ages 18 months and up. Due to the simple "sock" design, it is naturally compatible with most hand sizes, allowing for shared use between parent and child.
