Frequently Asked Questions

The set contains 37 wooden pieces in total - 7 illustrated animal heads and 30 colourful geometric shapes (including semicircles, quarter-circles, triangles, and ovals) - plus 18 double-sided play cards showing different animal designs at varying difficulty levels.
Each card shows a completed animal made from the geometric shapes, acting as a visual template for children to copy. The 18 cards are graded in difficulty, so simpler builds with fewer pieces suit children closer to age 3, while more complex arrangements challenge older children approaching 6 - making the set useful across the full age range.
SES Creative manufactures this set in the Netherlands and finishes the wooden pieces with child-safe, non-toxic paint. The shapes have smooth, rounded edges designed for small hands. As with all sets containing small pieces, adult supervision is recommended for children at the younger end of the 3-6 age range.
