Wooden puzzle ‘Halves. Fruit’

About the game

Juicy fruits have lost their other halves. Where is the other half of each familiar fruit, and how do you put the picture back together correctly? Look closely at the colours and shapes to complete all the pictures!

‘Halves. Fruit’ is a wooden jigsaw puzzle featuring twelve fruit pictures. The child matches the corresponding pieces based on the picture and the cut-out line, gradually restoring the whole fruits. The variety of shapes makes finding the matching pairs more interesting.

Twelve fruit pictures — twelve little challenges that you’ll want to complete right down to the very last half.
