‘Snowmen’ wooden inset puzzles

About the game

Five snowmen wearing colourful scarves set off along the path to the winter cottage. But one snowman is big, another is smaller, and the smallest one is tiny. Help them line up according to size!

‘Snowmen’ is a wooden puzzle insert featuring five characters of different sizes. The child compares their sizes, finds the corresponding slots on the base and arranges them from largest to smallest or vice versa. Colourful scarves help to distinguish between the cheerful characters.

Five snowmen, a winter path and a fun activity for comparing big and small.
