A small wooden puzzle: ‘Animals in the Clouds – 1’

About the game

A group of little travellers have gathered on fluffy clouds: mice, a kitten, a corgi, a bunny, a badger and a bird. Who’s settled where? Help all the friends find their places amongst the clouds!

‘Animals on the Clouds – 1’ is a small wooden inset puzzle featuring six amusing characters. The child examines the figures, compares their silhouettes and matches them to the corresponding recesses on the cloud-patterned base.
