Wooden inset puzzle ‘Cats – 1 (with a little house)’, small

About the game

There’s plenty going on today in the little cat town: one cat is riding a scooter, another is sailing in a boat, and a traveller with a suitcase is getting ready to set off. And there’s even a funny little resident hiding in the letterbox!

‘Kittens – 1 (with a little house)’ is a small wooden inset puzzle featuring four characters. The child examines the little house, the garden and the pond, finds the right places for the kittens and puts together a picture of their adventures.

Four little characters — four reasons to make up a fun story about life in the cat town.
