THANK YOU!
NOW IT’S TIME TO PUT IT TOGETHER!
Thank you for choosing the Melissa & Doug Mine to Love® Baby Care Activity Center! It’s a terrific way to
help nurture a child’s creativity and imagination, and to inspire story-telling and independent play for years to
come.
Don’t worry, assembling your new activity center is simple, and we’re here to help. It may go a little faster
with a partner to lend a hand, but we’ve made it so one person can assemble the center. Here are a few tips
before you begin:
Retain these instructions for future reference.
Warning: Prevent Tip Overs!
• Do not allow children to pull, climb, sit, or stand on any part of the activity center.
• Never place computers, televisions, or other heavy objects on top of the activity center.
• The activity center must be placed on a hard, flat, and level surface.
• The activity center must be assembled as instructed.
Ensure the activity center continues to function properly and safely by regularly checking the hardware and
tightening when necessary.
• Read through all the instructions first.
• Clear a flat, covered space (carpeted is best) to lay out all the materials so everything is close at hand.
• You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included) to assemble the activity center. We’ve included
everything else you need. All parts are labeled with a sticker (A-S, and 1-31).
• The instructions include lots of helpful pictures—we show you, step-by-step, how to align pieces and parts
for speedy and accurate assembly. Note that the hardware needed for each step is shown in the upper
right corner of the page, each piece being added in a given step is highlighted in gray, and the “assembled
view” (what it looks like in the completed product when the step is completed) is included in the lower
right corner of every page.
• In the instructions, the name of a part is followed by a letter or number in parentheses. This letter or
number corresponds to the sticker on the part, as well as the picture of the part shown on pages 2-3.
• Helpful hints are highlighted with a large exclamation point.
• If you have any questions, we’re here for you! Give our customer service folks a call at 1-800-284-3948!

Helpful Hints and Tips

IMPORTANT: Barrel nuts and screws are
used to join the main wood panels together.
The barrel nuts have been properly aligned
at the factory to allow the screws to easily
join the panels. If any barrel nuts have
shifted during shipping, use a screwdriver to
realign them.
