Wooden sorting puzzle ‘Where are the animals? Forest Series’

About the game

Who’s hiding behind the tree, and who’s lurking under the bush? A fox, a bear, an owl and other little animals are playing hide-and-seek in the forest glade. Open the hiding places and try to find all the inhabitants!

‘Where Are the Animals? The Forest Series’ — a two-layer wooden sorter featuring forest characters. Animals are hidden under the trees, bushes, a little cloud and a rock, which the child discovers by lifting the top layer. You can take a closer look at each creature and put the hiding places back in their rightful spots.

Eight little hiding places — eight unexpected encounters with the inhabitants of the forest glade.
