Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up these stones requires minimal effort; simply lay them out on a clean surface or integrate them into a sensory bin filled with kinetic sand or natural materials. They are fully compatible with standard air-dry clays, traditional modeling doughs, and crayons for wax rubbings. Care is straightforward: because they are made from a durable stone resin, you can simply wash them with warm soapy water after a messy play session and pat them dry with a towel. They do not require any special storage conditions, though keeping them in a designated tray or box will help keep the set complete.
