Summer Cat House wooden puzzle

About the game

How many kittens are hiding in the big summer house? Some are lurking in one room, whilst others are busy going about their business in another. Try to find all 22 residents by looking carefully in every nook and cranny!

‘The Cat House’ is a large two-layer jigsaw puzzle that combines putting the picture together with a search for characters. The child fits the pieces together, using the background as a clue, and finds the kittens in the rooms.

First, it’s an engaging puzzle, and then it becomes a real search-and-find game where you’ll want to examine every little detail.
