What is the recommended age for this toy?

This toy is recommended for children aged 3 years and older.

How do I assemble the tree?

Assembly involves attaching the trunk, the spring-loaded bird, and then placing the 14 colored leaves onto the trunk according to the instructions or model card.

What kind of sounds does the toy make?

It makes soft, repetitive, cascading sounds as the wooden marbles roll down the leaves.

Can I use different balls with this toy?

It is designed for the included wooden balls. Using balls of different sizes or weights may affect the rolling and sound.

How should I clean the wooden descender?

Wipe the wooden parts with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the wood or using harsh chemicals.

What are the dimensions of the toy?

The dimensions are Length 19.3 cm x Width 19.3 cm x Height 36 cm.

Troubleshooting

Marbles do not roll down the leaves.

Ensure the leaves are attached correctly and at the appropriate angle. Check that the marbles are placed fully on the leaf and not obstructed. Verify that the tree trunk is stable and not tilted.

Sound is inconsistent or muffled.

The sound depends on the smooth descent of the marbles. Re-adjust the leaves to ensure a clear path. Ensure the marbles are clean and not damaged.

Wood shows signs of wear.

This is normal for a wooden toy used frequently. For minor scuffs, a light sanding may help. Ensure the toy is not exposed to excessive moisture.
