1. Carefully remove the toy from its box. We want the toy to look brand new when we’re all finished, so the
packaging should be kept in nice condition. The guitar is attached to a piece of cardboard that comes out of
the outer box. Three tabs on the back hold the toy in place and can be removed by turning the tabs 90 degrees.
2. Turn the toy on and play with it! See what each
of the buttons do and how their different
functions might be beneficial for a child’s
learning and play. There are eight colorful
buttons on the neck of the giraffe. Choose one
of these buttons to adapt.
3. Remove the back cover of the toy.
There are 15 screws holding the
back in place, circled on the image
to the left. Remove these screws
and set them aside, making sure
not to lose any of them during the
adapting process.
4. Once the toy is opened, you can see the
circuit board in the neck is bolted in place.
Remove the 3 screws shown in the photo
to the right and set them aside in a safe
location.
