To use this Disney Princess Ariel's Stackable Land and Sea Castle Playset, simply stack the parts to form the castle. Place the included furniture and play pieces inside to create different scenarios. You can dress up the Ariel doll with the two fashions provided. Remember, the doll can't stand alone, so you might need to support it when posing. As for maintenance, keep the playset away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. Also, store the small parts like the Flounder figure and play pieces in a safe place to prevent loss. Since the colours and decorations may vary, don't be surprised if your set looks a bit different from the pictures.
