Large wooden inset puzzle ‘New Year’s — 3’

About the game

Some unusual guests have gathered on a snow-covered street: a snowman, a penguin, a pug, a bunny and a squirrel. Some are skiing, some are playing the violin, and the festive taxi is already waiting for its passengers. Help all the characters find their seats!

‘Christmas — 3’ is a large wooden sorting game featuring winter characters. The child examines the figures, compares their silhouettes and matches them to the corresponding slots in a playful way. Gradually, all the characters return to the festive street.

Twelve winter characters — twelve little discoveries that together create a cheerful Christmas scene.
