Large wooden inset puzzle ‘New Year’s — 4’

About the game

It’s a real celebration on the winter street today! The polar bear has met the gingerbread man, the cook has baked a gingerbread house, and the children in their festive costumes are hurrying to see their friends. But all the characters have got mixed up — who should stand where?

‘Christmas – 4’ is a large wooden jigsaw puzzle featuring winter characters. The child examines the characters and festive items, finds the correct places for them on the base and gradually puts the whole scene together. The characters include girls with presents, animals, children in costumes and a gingerbread man.

Each correctly placed piece adds a new element to the grand winter story.
