‘Séguin Boards: Transport’ wooden sorting puzzle

About the game

Aeroplanes, rockets, cars and ships are all included in one set, but each one needs to be placed in the correct spot. Is it easy to tell similar pictures apart and match them with the right shape?

‘Séguin Boards: Transport’ — a wooden game for matching pictures and shapes. The child looks at the photographs and patterns on the boards, compares them with the transport figures and finds the correct pairs. The variety of vehicles helps make the search for matches more interesting.

Every pair found is another small victory in the world of cars, aeroplanes and ships.

• wooden box, 20 × 16 × 6 cm
• 18 wooden tiles, 10 × 7.5 cm, featuring photos and patterns
