How to use

Show the child how to strike the coloured keys gently with the included or a suitable mallet to produce sounds. Supervise play with children under three years old and ensure small parts are not accessible if any removable components are present. Turn off the device when not in use to preserve battery life.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use fresh AA batteries and replace them when sound becomes weak or inconsistent. Encourage short, supervised sessions to support attention and avoid overstimulation. Clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth and avoid submerging the instrument in water. Store in a dry place and remove batteries for long-term storage.
