Using the Barbie Puppy Party Playset is a breeze. First, let your child dress the puppies in the party hats. Then, take the included dough and fill the cake mold with one or both colors. Press the lever gently to make the bone - shaped cake 'rise'. Next, use the cake toppers to decorate the treats and serve them to the puppies in the doggie bowls. To find the ball for the puppies, open the gift box. Press the larger puppy's tail to see it 'chew'. Remember, the doll can't stand on its own, so don't try to make it stand unsupported. Also, since colors and decorations may vary, don't be surprised if your set looks a bit different from the picture. When it comes to maintenance, keep the playset in a dry place away from sharp objects to avoid damage to the dolls and accessories.
