How to Assemble the Sound Around Box

1 

Connect Panels A & B

Hold the light blue panel B so that it faces you. Slide the white panel A into the right edge of panel B, joining them along their interlocking puzzle-fit edges.

2

Add Panel C

Slide the dark blue panel C into the right edge of panel A, joining them along their interlocking puzzle-fit edges.

3

Insert the Bottom Panel (D)

Line up the grooves on panels A, B, and C so they match along the inside bottom panel frames. Then, slide the box’s bottom panel D into the frame grooves of B and C, until it fits into the groove on panel A.

4

Install Blackboard Panel E

From the top of the box, slide the blackboard panel E into the interlocking puzzle-fit edges of panels B and C.

5

Attach Bracing Bar F

Flip the box upside down. Insert bracing bar F into the notch at the center of panel E. Then gently bend bracing bar F into a slight arch to fit in the notch at the center of panel A. The ends of bracing bar F will lock into the notches on panels E and A.

You're all done!

Time to celebrate and enjoy the learning. For best results, the box should remain assembled once constructed.
