Wooden puzzle pieces ‘Pets – 1’ (background with clues)

About the game

A little horse, a calf, a lamb and a piglet have gathered on a small farm. But all the animals have left their places in the picture! Help each one find their way home.

‘Farm Animals – 1’ is a wooden insert frame featuring four farm animals. The child examines the figures, compares their silhouettes and finds the correct places for them on the base. Hints in the background help to position each animal correctly.

Four familiar animals — four little tasks, after which the farm is whole again.
