- Drop Balls Down the Trunk: Place one of the included balls into the central canopy hole. Observe as it travels down the tree trunk and emerges from the base. This action activates lights and sounds.
- Spiral Around the Vine: Guide a ball onto the spiraling vine ramp. Watch it roll down and land in the base.
- Activate Lights & Music: Press the monkey and toucan buttons located on the canopy to activate over 50 melodies, jungle sounds, and engaging lights. These are also triggered when balls are dropped.
- Ball Release Mode: The yellow base can function as a holding tray or a ball release mechanism. Twist the base to release the balls, encouraging your baby to crawl and chase them.
