Using the Cookeez Makery Pancake Treats Playset is super easy. First, squeeze the pancake batter right onto the middle of the pan. Then, gently shake the pan, and you'll hear a fun sizzling sound. Next, flip the pan to see which cute Pancake Treats plush pet you've made - it could be a bear, kitty, or puppy. There are three designs to collect: Blue Beary, Strawberry Pankitty, and Choc Flip Pup. Keep repeating the process to make more friends. As for safety, make sure kids don't put the batter in their mouths. When it comes to maintenance, just keep the set in a dry place and away from sharp objects to avoid any damage to the plush pets. Have a great time playing with this awesome set!
