‘Séguin Boards: Animal Tracks’ wooden puzzle sorter

About the game

Who left these tracks on the ground? Perhaps a bear, a hare or a cunning fox? Become a little tracker and try to identify the animal from its paw prints!

‘Séguin Boards: Animal Tracks’ is a game where children match animals with their tracks. The child looks at photographs, illustrations and paw prints of six animals, compares the images and finds the correct matches.

Every match they find is another mystery from the animal world solved.
