Setup
Follow these steps to assemble your Peek A Blocks Penguin Slide playset:
- Identify Components: Lay out all 14 pieces: the rolling penguin, the slide with its launcher base, and the 12 various building blocks.
- Assemble the Base Structure: Use the larger, clear blue and white blocks to build the elevated platform. These blocks are designed to interlock securely.
- Attach the Slide: Connect the orange slide piece to the side of the elevated platform. Ensure the launcher base is stable and aligned with the slide's entry point.
- Place Decorative Blocks: Position the yellow blocks with printed penguin pictures on top of the elevated platform. These blocks are where the Peek A Blocks penguin will activate its peek-a-boo feature.

Operating Instructions
The Mega Bloks Peek A Blocks Penguin Slide offers interactive play through its unique features:
- Activate Peek-a-Boo: Place the Peek A Blocks rolling penguin on top of any compatible building block. The penguin is designed to activate a "peek-a-boo" surprise when placed on a block, revealing its eyes or other features.
- Launch the Penguin: Position the rolling penguin on the launcher at the top of the slide.
- Send it Rolling: Gently press down on the lever located on the launcher. This action will send the penguin rolling down the slide.
