FARM LIFE
This educational board is like a magical puzzle that takes you straight into the world of farming. In front of you, you can see two rows of wooden blocks — five stacked on the left and five on the right. And here’s the fun part — each of these blocks can be rotated!
Your task is to rotate the prisms so that you assemble the whole a picture of one of the farm animals. When the second one appears to me; half of the picture, you can read a short text that will tell you a lot of interesting things – what are animals fed with, what are they used for? or how it is cared for on the farm during the year.
Welcome to the world of farming — a place that’s never silent or still. Behind the ordinary fields and barns lies a life full of movement. Every animal, every plant, and every person here has their own place and purpose.
