‘Animals on Lorries (Summer)’ card game

About the game

There’s plenty of traffic on the road today! Lorries are delivering watermelons, milk, berries and other goods, whilst the animal drivers are rushing to complete their tasks. Who is transporting what, and where should each lorry be parked?

In the game ‘Animals on Lorries (Summer)’, the child arranges the lorries, drivers and cargo according to the sample cards, carefully matching each detail to the task.

Each card presents a new situation on the road and another chance to help the funny drivers.

• a 32 × 23 cm base with a road and spaces for 6 lorries
