‘More or Less: Little Horses’ sorter

About the game

Five cheerful little horses have decided to hold a parade, but each one needs to take its place according to its size. Who will be first — the biggest or the smallest? Choose the order and help the little horses line up!

‘Little Horses’ is a wooden sorting toy featuring five figures of different sizes. The child compares the horses, finds the correct places on the base and arranges them in order from largest to smallest or in reverse order.

This little parade of horses helps turn comparing sizes into a fun activity.
