Care & Safety
To preserve the integrity of the board books and the digital coding on the pages, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or high humidity. Avoid contact with water or sticky liquids, as moisture can damage the internal paper fibers and interfere with the reading pen’s optical sensor. If the pages become soiled, gently wipe with a dry or very slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before closing.
