General Directions:
Not suited for little toddlers due to small pieces,
3+ year olds: follow instructions provided by kit. Instruct toddler to find specific pieces. The less pieces to choose from, the easier it will be for them to find it. You can then help them follow the picture to figure out where to place pieces or point directly to where pieces go. They may also require help pushing pieces together due amount of hand strength required.
