Operating Instructions

  1. Choose a Design: Refer to the included Album with Design Patterns for inspiration, or create your own unique mosaic. The album provides various patterns and indicates the number of pegs required for each.
  2. Insert Pegs: Select a peg of the desired color and gently push its stem into one of the holes on the pegboard. Ensure the peg is securely seated.
  3. Build Your Mosaic: Continue inserting pegs according to your chosen pattern or creative vision. The pegs are designed to fit snugly, allowing for stable designs.
  4. Remove Pegs: To change a design or clear the board, gently pull the pegs out of the holes.
  5. Store Components: When play is complete, store all pegs in the basket and use the pegboard as a lid to keep everything organized.

The pegs and pegboard are made of washable plastic. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

  • Pegs not fitting: Ensure the pegs are aligned correctly with the holes. Do not force pegs into the board.
  • Missing pegs: Count the pegs periodically to ensure all 100 pieces are accounted for, especially before storing.
  • Difficulty creating designs: Refer to the included design album for guidance. Start with simpler patterns and gradually move to more complex ones.
