Operating Instructions
These foam letters and numbers are designed for interactive learning and play. They can be used in various ways:
- Letter and Number Recognition: Encourage children to identify individual letters and numbers.
- Spelling: Help children arrange letters to spell simple words.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Little Tikes® Foam Letters & Numbers, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wash the foam pieces with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow the pieces to air dry completely after each use, especially if used in water, to prevent mildew or mold buildup.
- Storage: Store in a dry place, preferably in a mesh bag or basket that allows for air circulation.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the foam material or colors.
Troubleshooting
While these foam letters and numbers are designed for durability, here are some common observations and tips:
- Reduced Stickiness: If pieces no longer stick well to surfaces when wet, ensure the surface is clean and free of soap residue. A light wipe with a damp cloth on the foam surface can sometimes help.
- Wear and Tear: Over time, especially with frequent chewing or rough play, the foam may show bite marks or minor indentations. This is normal for foam products and generally does not affect functionality unless pieces are significantly damaged.
- Discoloration: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or certain bath additives might cause slight fading over time. Store away from direct sunlight when not in use.
