How to Play & Care (Safely)
This is a simple, beginner-friendly routine. If anything feels uncomfortable, stop and rest.
Step-by-step
- Clean & dry: Wash and dry your hands before handling.
- Gentle rolling: Place one walnut in each hand and roll with light pressure.
- Short & frequent: 3–5 minutes is enough; consistency beats intensity.
- Alternate hands: Switch hands to keep your motion balanced.
- Store well: Keep them in a breathable pouch away from moisture.
Common mistakes
- Over-squeezing (can cause discomfort or damage).
- Applying oil early on (can lead to uneven color or dust build-up).
- Moisture exposure (risk of cracks or surface issues).
Troubleshooting
- Hairline crack: Pause handling, avoid humidity swings, and monitor.
- Patchy color: Reduce session length, keep hands clean, avoid oils.
- Tired hands: Shorten sessions and relax your grip.
