Using this Fisher-Price crocodile xylophone is easy. Just hand the mallet to your little one and let them tap the six colorful light - up bars to make sounds and enjoy the different sound effects and songs. You can adjust the volume as per your preference. When using, make sure to keep it away from water to avoid damage. For maintenance, simply wipe it with a dry cloth regularly. Don't let small children put small parts of the xylophone in their mouths to prevent choking hazards. Store it in a dry and safe place when not in use.
