6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Jumbo Jungle Playset, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe foam pieces and animal figures with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before storing. Do not immerse foam pieces in water for extended periods.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the foam playset and store all components in a dry, clean place, preferably in its original packaging or a designated storage container. This helps prevent damage and keeps all pieces together.
• Inspection: Periodically check foam pieces for tears, cracks, or significant wear. Discontinue use if any part becomes damaged to prevent potential hazards.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Jumbo Jungle Playset, consider the following:

• Pieces Not Fitting: Ensure you are attempting to connect the correct foam pieces. The puzzle design requires specific connections. Refer to the activity guide or product images for assembly guidance.
