Shapes-Puzzle "Family - animals of Australia"

Who’s the biggest in the family — mom, dad, or baby? This charming wooden puzzle introduces children to animal families, size comparison, and spatial matching. With adorable creatures from Australia, the game blends sorting, storytelling, and early learning into one thoughtful experience.

— Characters include kangaroo, koala, parrot, and sloth
— 3 sizes per family for visual and spatial comparison
— Size: 230 × 160 × 12 mm

🎯 How to play — and what it teaches

1. Choose a family and sort the animals by size

2. Fit the figures into their matching slots — large, medium, small

3. Talk about features: who has a pouch, feathers, or fur?

4. Build little stories: who carries the baby, who watches from the tree?
