Wooden sorting puzzle ‘Animals in Carts’

About the game

Four caring mums have gone for a walk with their little ones. A panda, a raccoon, a fox cub and a little leopard are already waiting for their cosy prams. Help each little one settle in next to their mum!

‘Animals in Prams’ is a wooden sorting game with task cards. The child matches mums and little ones, places them in the prams and puts together the puzzle blankets according to the example. And the four balls with letters spell out the heart-warming word ‘MUM’.

Every correctly assembled pram tells a little heart-warming story about a mum, her little one and their walk together.
