User questions & answers

Question:	What if the child removes more than 1 animal at d same time, which sound comes
Answer:	Yes....-ish. The beds are big enough for Calico Critters. The dining table and all chairs are a bit small. The chairs fit the babies. The dining table is more like a coffee table to the Calico Critters. The bookshelf and armoire are just fine. I would recommend this for any great addition to a doll house, however you would have to glue them together if kids were going to use them. Just dont expect the "adult" Critters to be able to relax in the chairs.
Question:	Who’s the singing voice of old Macdonald by
Answer:	I think there are directions on youtube. No directions come with this product. I still haven't found time to go online and look for the how-to. Frustrating and I can't tell you how many customers have asked the same thing. Where are the freaking directions for assembly?
Question:	When removing the piece for sheep does it sound like the singer is saying “cheap
Answer:	Sure, please contact us via email and we will send it to you right away.
Question:	Is this puzzle made with particle board instead of solid wood and have glued-on pictures like many of the other M&D puzzles
Answer:	We printed the instructions on the back cover of our package. You can follow the numbers on the instruction to finish the assembly.

Question:

What are the sounds of

Answer:

To be honest, my son hasn't played enough them to clean them alot. I have used a baby wipe on them and it worked fine However I would not recommend anything caustic to clean the puzzles so it doesn't ruin the paint. Either a mild cleaner or just use a damp cloth. If you want to sanitize, try just plain white distilled vinegar. It has natural antibacterial properties without the chemicals. I hope that helps.

Calling Young Conductors

Eight musical instrument wooden puzzle pieces lie sleepily on their wooden board until kids age two and up pick up a piece and unleash the music. As puzzle pieces are placed correctly in the puzzle board, matching the instrument on the pieces with the instruments on the board, the puzzle makes the realistic sounds of the specific instrument! All the while, kids are learning to associate the particular sound with the instrument that makes it. The instant reward of placing each piece correctly motivates kids and inspires them to place pieces over and over again. In addition to teaching instrument sound association, this puzzle also helps build fine motor skills, problem-solving, and independent play. If you’re up for a little adventure, please note that this puzzle is light-activated and will surprise even grownups with music if the pieces are left off the board at night. The puzzle may also be used as a silent peg puzzle but will immediately turn into a sound puzzle as two AAA batteries (not included) are inserted into the puzzle and young kids pick up the wand to conduct the orchestra.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the different sounds
Answer:	They are one piece for 11, 12, etc.
Question:	What kind or size battery is needed
Answer:	There is no on/off button to stop the sound. You can just unscrew the case where the batteries are ( which if memory serves me correctly requires an annoyingly small screwdriver) and take them out. My boyfriend and myself personally never found the sounds to be annoying. If you're child is not at the reading level yet, the sound will help in memorization of the numbers and the items under them. Hope this helps!
