Setup

Setting up your Mega Bloks Safari Animals for play is simple and quick.

2. Dispose of Packaging: Discard all plastic bags and other packaging materials responsibly and keep them away from children to prevent suffocation hazards.

Operating and Assembly Instructions

The Mega Bloks Safari Animals set is designed for intuitive assembly, encouraging creativity and fine motor skill development. The blocks are large and easy for small hands to grasp and connect.

General Assembly Steps:

1. Identify Pieces: Sort the blocks by color or shape to identify the parts for each animal. Each animal typically consists of a few distinct blocks that fit together.
2. Connect Blocks: Align the studs on one block with the holes on another. Gently press the blocks together until they click securely into place.
3. Build Animals: Follow the visual cues on the blocks (e.g., animal faces, patterns) to assemble the giraffe, elephant, tiger, zebra, and bird. For example, the tiger's head block connects to its body block.
4. Experiment: Encourage children to mix and match blocks to create their own unique safari creatures, fostering imaginative play.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Mega Bloks Safari Animals set.

• Cleaning: To clean the blocks, wipe them with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Allow blocks to air dry completely before storing.
• Do Not Submerge: Do not submerge the blocks in water, especially if they have stickers or painted details, as this may cause damage.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic and colors.
• Storage: Store the blocks in their original packaging or a designated toy bin in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps prevent discoloration and warping.
