Using this Hape Cargo Train Track Delivery Loop Set is a breeze. First, place the interconnected train track on a flat surface. Insert 2 AAA batteries into the train's engine. Then, use the buttons on the engine to control the train's forward or backward movement. Let your child use the magnetic crane to pick up and load cargo onto the train. As the train moves around the track, they can also unload the cargo. When it comes to safety, always make sure kids are supervised when playing with small parts. Also, keep the set away from water to prevent damage. For maintenance, use a dry cloth to clean the wooden parts. If there are any marks, you can gently wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the toy. This way, your child can enjoy this toy for years to come.
