‘Fruits’ wooden puzzle

About the game

Juicy fruits and berries are mixed up amongst the triangular pieces. Where is the other half of the apple, and how do you fit the other fruits together correctly? Try to match all the pictures so that they form whole images!

‘Fruits’ is a wooden jigsaw puzzle with a hexagonal frame and triangular pieces. Halves of fruits and berries are positioned at the joints between the pieces. The child compares the pictures, rotates the triangles and searches for the correct arrangement to reconstruct over 25 images.

Every correctly assembled piece of fruit is a little discovery in this colourful jigsaw puzzle that you’ll want to solve right to the end.
