‘Kittens Behind the Fence’ card game

About the game

The cats have gathered by the colourful fence, whilst the birds watch them. But how do you arrange all the characters and strips correctly to match the picture in the example? You’ll have to look closely at every detail!

‘Kittens by the Fence’ is a card game in which children create compositions using coloured strips, kittens and birds. The colouring box can also be decorated with their own drawings.

Each time, there’s a new fence, a new arrangement of cats and yet another little story for the observant player.

• a base and a wooden colouring box
• 35 multicoloured fence slats
• 8 cat figurines

How to play
