‘Boys with Doughnuts’ Sorting Puzzle

About the game

Four boys are getting ready to go for a walk, but they just can’t decide what to wear. Which colour should they choose for their cap, T-shirt and trousers? Help each of them put together their own outfit!

‘Boys with Doughnuts’ is a wooden sorting puzzle featuring clothes in four colours. The child selects outfits based on the cards, carefully matching the colours and the arrangement of the pieces.

Every correctly put-together outfit is another little victory in this fun game with colours.
