Troubleshooting

Pieces do not fit securely on the pegs.

Ensure the correct shape is being matched to the corresponding number of holes on the puzzle board. Check that the pegs and the holes on the shapes are free of debris.

Child is frustrated with matching shapes.

Start by demonstrating the matching process with one or two shapes. Offer verbal cues and encouragement. For younger children, focus on just stacking without strict matching initially.

Colors or shapes are difficult to distinguish.

Ensure the toy is used in a well-lit area. If colors are faded due to wear, try cleaning the pieces as per care instructions. For very young children, focus on shape and number of holes before color.

Toy pieces are lost.

Store all pieces in a designated container or bag when not in use. Keep the activity guide handy for reference when reintroducing the toy.
