‘Seven-Coloured Flower 2’ sorter

About the game

Multicoloured ladybirds have settled on a large flower, but each one needs to find the right petal. Which ladybird is bigger, which is smaller, and where should each colour go? Help all the little guests find their place!

‘Seven-Coloured Flower 2’ is a wooden sorter with interchangeable petals and ladybird tokens of various colours and sizes. The interchangeable petals allow the game to be arranged in a new way every time.

The flower changes, the ladybirds find their places, and the child discovers new combinations of colours and sizes.

In the set

• a 32 × 23 cm flower-shaped base with interchangeable petals
• 21 ladybird tokens in various colours and sizes
• 12 task cards
• a storage box

How to play

1. Choose a card.
2. The child arranges the ladybirds on the petals according to colour and size, as shown in the example.
3. Swap the petals around — and the task changes.

Where to start
