Insert frame ‘Animals in a forest clearing’

About the game

A group of unusual friends have gathered in a bright forest glade: a panda, a fox, a raccoon, a squirrel, a hare and other little creatures. A rainbow shines above them, and each character is waiting to be found and returned to its place!

‘Animals in the Forest Glade’ is a wooden frame puzzle featuring nine animal figures. The child examines the characters, compares their silhouettes and finds the matching slots on the base featuring the glade and the rainbow.

Once all the animals have been gathered together, you can make up your own story about their cheerful reunion beneath the rainbow.
