‘More or Less: Little Chickens’ sorter

About the game

Five little chickens have gathered together, but they are all different sizes. Which chicken is the biggest, and which is the smallest? Help them line up in the right order!

‘Little Hens’ is a wooden sorting toy for comparing sizes. The child looks at the five figures, finds the correct slot for each one on the base, and arranges the hens from largest to smallest or vice versa.

Five cute little chickens turn learning about the concepts of ‘bigger’ and ‘smaller’ into a simple and easy-to-understand game.
