3. Familiarize yourself with the different shapes and colors of the blocks.

3.2 Assembly Steps

While specific step-by-step diagrams are typically included within the product packaging, the general assembly process involves building from the base upwards. The goal is to recreate the Lesser Panda model as shown in the product images.

• Start with the Base: Begin by attaching the initial layers of blocks to the provided green base plate, forming the foundation of the model.
• Build the Body: Gradually add layers of blocks, following the color and shape patterns to construct the body of the Lesser Panda. Pay close attention to the details for the legs, torso, and tail.
• Construct the Head: Assemble the head separately, incorporating the distinct features of the Lesser Panda, such as its ears, eyes, and snout, using the appropriate block colors (white, black, tan).
• Attach Head and Tail: Once the head and body are sufficiently formed, attach the head to the body. Ensure the striped tail is correctly positioned and built.
• Final Details: Add any remaining small detail blocks to complete the model.

4. Operating and Display

Once assembled, your DAISO Petit Block Lesser Panda model is ready for display.

• Display: Place your finished model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture to preserve its condition.
• Handling: Handle the model gently. While the blocks are designed to interlock securely, excessive force or dropping may cause parts to detach.

5. Maintenance

To keep your Petit Block model looking its best, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. For more stubborn dirt, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth, then immediately dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all blocks in a sealed container to prevent loss and protect them from dust.

6. Troubleshooting

• Missing Blocks: If you believe a block is missing, carefully re-check your work area and the packaging. Due to the small size, blocks can be easily overlooked. If a piece is genuinely missing, please contact the manufacturer for assistance.
• Difficulty Assembling: If you encounter difficulty, re-examine the instructions or diagrams provided with the product. Ensure blocks are oriented correctly and fully pressed into place. Sometimes, a slight adjustment can make a significant difference.
• Loose Connections: If parts feel loose, ensure they are fully interlocked. Petit Blocks are designed for a snug fit.
