🔥Avoid Heat: Keep your product cool and happy! Only use lukewarm water for cleaning—no hot water or dishwashers allowed. Some intense colours might try to leave their mark, so rinse and dry right after play. For the best results, avoid leaving liquids or colourings on your product for more than 2 hours.
☀️Sunlight Sensitivity: Your product loves the shade! Direct sunlight and heat sources can make it warp and get a little grumpy. Keep it cool, and it’ll stay in tip-top shape for all your play.
Explore fun Mini Wheelie Bin activities for kids, including recycling sorting, ocean clean-up sensory play, construction activities, literacy games and science experiments. These simple play ideas help children learn through play while developing creativity, fine motor skills and an understanding of sustainability.
