Troubleshooting
Child is unable to find the correct piece by touch.
Ensure the pieces are distinct enough. For younger children, start with fewer pieces in the bag or focus on simpler shapes. Guide their hands gently to explore the textures and outlines.
Child loses interest quickly.
Adapt the rules to make it easier initially. Celebrate small successes. Introduce the game for shorter periods. Try the lotto card variation for more interactive play.
Pieces feel too similar.
Check if any pieces are damaged or if there's dust affecting the texture. Contact customer support if there are manufacturing defects causing pieces to be indistinguishable.
