FAQs
What age is this toy recommended for?
The toy is recommended for children aged 3 years and up.
Does the car require batteries?
No, the car does not require batteries. The color change is activated by water temperature.
How do I make the car change color?
Dip the car into warm water to see one color change, and then dip it into icy cold water to change it back to its original color.
Can I use soap with the color-changing cars?
It is best to use plain water. Soap or other cleaning agents may interfere with the color-changing mechanism or damage the paint.
Are all the cars in the collection the same size?
Yes, all the vehicles in the Colour Changers collection are made to a 1:55 scale.
What materials are the cars made from?
The cars are made from a combination of metal and plastic.
Can these cars be used with other Cars playsets?
Yes, the 1:55 scale allows them to be compatible with most Disney Pixar Cars track sets and playsets.
What should I do if the color change isn't working properly?
Ensure you are using both warm and icy cold water and that the car is fully submerged. Rinse the car with clean water if it seems dirty. Sometimes, letting the car air dry completely before another change can help.
Troubleshooting
Color change is not happening or is slow.
Ensure the water temperature is sufficiently warm or cold. Test with different water temperatures. Make sure the entire car is submerged. Sometimes residue from previous play can affect the change; rinse the car thoroughly.
Paint appears to be peeling or damaged.
Rinse the vehicle gently with water. Avoid using harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning materials. If damage has occurred, contact customer support for potential resolution.
Vehicle does not revert to original color in cold water.
Ensure the cold water is truly cold (e.g., with ice added). Sometimes a slight delay occurs. Submerge for a few seconds. Ensure no soap or other substances are contaminating the water.
