Shape-puzzle "Which animal does the pattern belong to? (stencil)" (mini)

🐾 In front of the child — colorful patterns of fur, feathers, and textures, and silhouettes of animals that need to be matched. Tiger stripes, cow spots, bird feathers — each texture gives a clue. The child must carefully observe the pattern and match it to the correct animal shape. It’s a clever puzzle that develops logic, classification skills, and visual attention.

🧩 What’s in the set

— Wooden base board with 6 framed patterns
— 6 silhouette-shaped animal inserts: tiger, cow, bird, butterfly, zebra, sheep

📖 How to play

1. Remove all animal silhouette pieces from the board.

2. Let the child place them back randomly — then review and discuss any mismatches.

3. Now, ask the child to match each animal to the correct texture and pattern.

4. Challenge version: turn the silhouettes face down — guess only by the background!

5. Talk about where the animals live and how their bodies are covered (fur, feathers, etc.).
