‘Collect the Animals’ wooden puzzle

About the game

Who will end up with the bunny’s ears, and who with the face of a completely different animal? Try putting together familiar animals from the pieces, then let your imagination run wild and create your own unique character!

‘Assemble the Animals’ is a wooden jigsaw puzzle with pieces for assembling faces according to the sample cards. And once the familiar animals have been assembled, you can combine the pieces in new ways and invent fantastical creatures.

From a correctly assembled face to a comical imaginary creature — a game where attention to detail meets imagination.
