• Protect play surfaces as water toys can get messy.
• Parents should assist with filling the tanks.
• Only use Color Shifter cars.
• Color change lasts longer when the toy is not exposed to intense heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

Featuring: Color Shifters™ Two-Color Change! Colors may vary.

Water Temperature Guide: Icy Water Under 50°F/10°C, Warm Water Around 86°F/33°C.
