Puzzle "Footballs: Color and counting"

🧒 Child’s Role in the Game

On the board – a colorful grid of footballs. The child’s task: find the correct ball based on two criteria — color and the number of black dots. It’s not just sorting — it’s analyzing, comparing, and counting. The game develops logic, memory, and spatial thinking, all in a playful way.

📦 What’s in the Box

— Wooden board with 25 recessed slots (size: 320×230×6 mm)
— 25 football tiles (5 colors × 5 dot combinations)
— 5 number tiles (1 to 5)
— 5 football tiles for the top row (number line)
— 5 color tiles for the left column (color guide)
— Durable print on safe, eco-friendly materials
— All parts are interchangeable — endless combinations possible

🎲 How to Play

1. Place number tiles (1–5) across the top — they represent the number of dots.

2. Place color tiles along the left side — these indicate the ball color.

3. The child finds the tile that matches both criteria and places it in the correct spot.

4. You can simplify the game by using only colors or only numbers, or challenge older kids with memory-based tasks.

5. The game easily adjusts in complexity to fit different age levels.
