Wooden inset puzzle (‘Forest Animals – 2’) (background with hints)

About the game

All sorts of creatures are hiding in the dense forest: a wise owl, a cunning fox, a badger and a wolf. Who lives where? Take a look at all the characters and help each one find the right place.

‘Forest Animals – 2’ is a wooden inset puzzle featuring four forest animals. The child compares the silhouettes of the pieces, matches them to the corresponding slots and gradually reconstructs the picture of the forest.
