School bus

About the game

The school bus is ready to set off, but first we need to seat all the passengers! Who will sit by the window, and who will sit next to their friends? And what interesting things are hidden inside the bus itself?

‘School Bus’ is a large two-layer jigsaw puzzle: on the outside, the child assembles the bus, whilst underneath the top layer lies the interior with schoolchildren whose seats can be swapped around. Under the bonnet are the engine, fuel tank, fire extinguisher and first-aid kit.

It’s not just about putting the bus together, but exploring it from the inside and making up your own story about a school trip.
