FAQs
Is this toy safe for indoor use?
Yes, the included balls are made of soft foam, which minimizes the risk of damage to household items.
Does this toy require batteries?
No, the T-Rex Squeeze Popper is entirely manual and relies on air pressure created by the user.
What age group is this toy best for?
It is designed for children who are developing their fine and gross motor skills, typically within the primary school age range.
Can I use other balls with this toy?
It is recommended to only use the provided foam balls to ensure the toy functions correctly and safely.
How do I clean the foam balls?
Lightly dust them or wipe them with a dry cloth. Do not soak the foam in water as it may absorb moisture.
Troubleshooting
The ball does not shoot very far.
Ensure the foam ball is pushed securely into the launcher's mouth and use a faster, more forceful squeeze.
The foam balls have become deformed.
Gently reshape the soft foam with your fingers. If they are severely damaged, ensure they are not being crushed during storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is instantaneous: simply unpack the T-Rex and the six foam balls. To maintain the longevity of the toy, avoid squeezing the body excessively hard or using non-compatible objects in the launcher, as this could damage the internal air-pressure mechanism. When finished playing, collect all six foam balls and store them in a dedicated container to prevent them from becoming lost. The T-Rex body can be wiped down with a soft, slightly damp cloth if it becomes dusty, but it should not be submerged in water.
