A nice, fun way to check in with the animals at the waterhole.
The six-piece layered, wooden set is compact and clever.
It uses bright colour to engage the user – this is the only time you will see a yellow rhino, or a red lion!
Perfect playability for little mites aged three years and up, and it is perfectly priced too.
Shopping early for Christmas? This is a superb stocking filler.

Hape George Luck Ark Puzzle
When is an educational puzzle more than an educational puzzle?
When it is a Hape George Luck Ark puzzle, that's when.
Children will learn about the animals who went into the ark two by two with this enjoyable game, which encourages the development of dexterity skills and eyes and hands co-ordination.
The 62-piece Ark is strikingly coloured and beautifully cut, and has size on its side – at just under 50 cm wide.
The ark is beautifully crafted and oozes class appeal. It is recommended for ages six to 10 years, but we are so struck with the overall finish that when the play stops, there is every likelihood that this puzzle will be framed for display.
It's in a league of it's own, and we love it.
RRP: £39.99
