TABLE OF CONTENTS
Candy Claw Machine
Children as young as eight years of age
can enjoy experimenting with the built
Candy Claw Machine, but most children
under 12 years will need a lot of help
building it. Regardless of their age,
please support your child with advice
and a helping hand, especially during
tricky assembly steps. Before
beginning, read the directions together
and discuss the safety instructions.
To prevent damage to the work
surface on which your child is building,
provide them with a mat or other
surface protection.
When cutting the plastic parts out of the
frames with the diagonal cutters or
scissors, special care must be taken,
not just because of the sharp edges on
the tools, but also because the plastic
parts can yield sharp edges or burrs.
These can be removed with the help of
the diagonal cutters or a nail file.
Supervise your child when they are
using the sharp tools until you trust that
they can handle the tools independently.
We hope you and your child have a lot
of fun building and playing with the
Candy Claw Machine!
Dear parents and adults,
Not suitable for children
under 3 years. Choking
hazard — small parts may
be swallowed or inhaled.
Strangulation hazard —
long tubes and belts may
become wrapped around
the neck.
Keep the packaging and
instructions as they
contain important
information.
Refer to the packaging for
the nutritional information
and the ingredients list for
the lollipops.
