Wooden puzzle (frame-and-piece) ‘Purring Kittens’

About the game

How many different kittens can fit on one big paw? Here we have a collection of fluffy, spotted and colourful kittens, each with its own unique look. Help them all find their rightful places!

‘Purring Kittens’ is a wooden jigsaw puzzle in the shape of a cat’s paw. The child examines fourteen shaped kittens of different breeds and colours, compares their silhouettes and finds the correct places for them on the base. Hint shadows help to position each figure correctly.

Fourteen cute little purrers — fourteen little treasures for cat lovers.
