A small wooden puzzle: ‘Animals in the Clouds – 2’

About the game

A group of unusual friends have gathered above a bright rainbow: a pony with wings, a little dog, a bunny, a fox and other inhabitants of the fairy-tale sky. Where will the butterfly fly to, and where is the little bee’s place? Help them all find their own little spots!

‘Animals in the Clouds – 2’ is a wooden inset puzzle featuring eight characters against a rainbow backdrop. The child matches the pieces to the corresponding slots, compares their shapes and gradually puts together the whole heavenly scene.

Eight funny friends turn the search for the right pieces into a little colourful adventure.
