Safety Precautions

• • Small Parts: This product is not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts which represent a choking hazard.
• • Moisture Sensitivity: Natural wood materials should be kept away from water; do not submerge the pieces, as this will cause the wood to swell and warp.
• • Splinter Prevention: While the product is sanded smooth, parents should periodically check the edges for any wear or damage from heavy use.
• • Storage Requirements: Store the puzzle in a cool, dry area to prevent the natural wood from becoming brittle or the printed image from lifting.
