Large wooden inset puzzle ‘New Year’s — 1’

About the game

Twelve festive characters have gathered in a large Christmas town. Some are ice skating, some are holding presents, whilst the snowman, penguin and gingerbread man are already waiting for their places. Help them all find the right windows!

‘Christmas — 1’ is a large wooden sorting puzzle featuring a variety of winter characters. The child matches the figures to the corresponding slots by comparing their silhouettes. And thanks to the golden strings, the figures can be turned into Christmas tree decorations.

One game — two festive activities: first, find a place for each character, and then use them to decorate the Christmas tree.
