Glo Pal Sensory Play Jar | Blue Surfs Up

How long to the batteries last?
This can be dependent on how much you use the jar. We recommend empty the jar of water after every use to conserve battery life (otherwise the light will continue to stay on in the jar due to the water-activated technology). Keeping with regular use, the Sensory Play Jar should last

How Do I Turn Off My Sensory Play Jar?
To turn off the light on the Sensory Play Jar store the jar upside down on its lid to turn off the water-activated technology and maximize battery life.

Is the lid easy for little hands to open?
No. The Sensory Play Jar has a spill-proof lid. To open the lid, push the side handles in and twist the lid at the same time.

What accessories can I put in my Sensory Play Jar?
You can fill your Sensory Play Jar with fun accessories like our Fun Filler Packs, pom poms, beads, glitter, or any other water-safe trinkets and accessories.

Can liquids other than water be used in the Sensory Play Jar?
Please use tap water only in your Sensory Play Jar. The Sensory Play Jar requires the ions in tap water to activate the glo so tap water only, Pals.

How long does the Sensory Play Jar light up?
The Sensory Play Jar will glow until the batteries are depleted. To extend battery life, store the jar upside down on its lid, leaving about 1.5 inches of space at the top without water. This will deactivate the water-activated technology and conserve battery power. When the jar no longer lights up, simply replace the batteries with three brand new AAA ones, and it's ready to glo again!

Help! I added water to my jar and it won't turn on.

When Playtime is Done

If your Glo Pal Sensory Play Jar batteries need replacing, an adult must unscrew the base of the jar to access the battery compartment. Replace with 3 new AAA batteries (ensure the correct polarity) and rescrew the base onto the jar ensuring it is tight and secure. Then we recommend disposing of the used batteries at the proper waste facility.

Remove all the contents and liquids after every use or playtime. Handwash only with soap and water. Please keep the battery compartment dry.

Hand wash ONLY with soap and water. Please keep the battery compartment dry and do not submerge your Jar in water.
