Going for a swim:
IMPORTANT: This toy is to be operated in water only when it is fully assembled in
accordance with the instructions.
• Totally submerge the Little Mermaid (and Seahorse) in water until no air bubbles
appear on the water surface to assure they both will swim evenly balanced.
• When the water touches both of the sensors (just under the top edge of her tail
on her backside), the Little Mermaid will immediately begin to swim.
• When lifted up and her sensors no longer touch the water, she will stop swimming.
• Add her floating Seahorse Friend for even more water fun!
CAUTION: Do Not allow children to play with this toy in water without ADULT
SUPERVISION.
NOTE: When removing the Little Mermaid from the water, lift her up and allow all
excess water to drain, then place her on a towel. (NOTE: Water will drain from the
small holes in her tail. They are created just for that purpose.)
IMPORTANT: After play, drain excess water from the holes in the tail, dry the doll
thoroughly and bring indoors. Prolonged exposure to sunlight will cause irreparable
damage to the soft tail material.
NOTE: A slight clicking sound may be heard when bending the mermaid at the waist
or when she swims. This is normal.
On dry land:
• With the Little Mermaid on dry land, have fun brushing her hair (brush not
included), reading her storybook and presenting her with her princess tiara.
Storing your Little Mermaid:
• Allow the Little Mermaid, her clothing, and her Seahorse Friend to dry thoroughly
in a well-ventilated area before storing.
• If she will not be played with for an extended period of time, remove the
batteries to prevent possible corrosion and damage to the toy.
