Wooden Skill Games
Feel Game
100002819€7.99
The tactile shape matching game brings together 12 pieces, 12 template cards and a fabric bag into a straightforward sorting game built around touch. Children aged 3 and up reach into the bag, feel out a shape and compare it with the matching cutout – each turn becomes a clear exercise in perception through the hands. The 25-piece set uses MDF for the wooden pieces and paper cards for the visual tasks. This combination allows for different ways to play: shapes can be identified blind from the bag, matched directly to the cards or explored in open sorting rounds. The repeated reaching, checking and placing gives the game an even rhythm that supports concentration and controlled hand movements. Because the cards are separate from the wooden pieces, the visible clue and the hidden search remain clearly distinct throughout play. At the table, on the floor or in a quiet play corner, short rounds unfold with a clear beginning and end. The fabric bag keeps the pieces together between turns, while the cards allow a quick move from one matching task to the next.

Montessori Sorting Beads
100006034€16.99
This Montessori Sorting Beads set brings together 90 coloured beads, 1 peg board and 1 wooden tweezers in a hands-on matching activity where every placement becomes a focused fine motor exercise. The 100-piece set also includes 8 template cards that allow both guided pattern work and free sorting using the same core components – suitable for children aged 4 and up. The wooden tweezers transform simple placing into controlled gripping: each bead is picked up individually, aligned and carefully set into the peg board. This repeated movement builds concentration and persistence, while the coloured beads offer clear visual differences for matching and arranging. The board provides a fixed surface for recreating card patterns or developing your own colour sequences. The combination of FSC® 100%-certified birch, beech and lime wood brings several wood types together in one set under licence number FSC-C005308. With the cards, calm pattern-laying sessions can be created; without a template, the same beads and board invite free sorting by colour and open-ended arrangements.

Wooden Skill Games
Bowling
100002808€5.99
This bowling game brings classic skittle play into a compact wooden format with 6 birch skittles and 1 wooden ball. The colourful formation creates a clear target on the floor, and every throw produces a simple cause-and-effect moment: the ball meets the standing skittles and changes the formation with a single movement. The 7-piece set is straightforward to use – stand the skittles up, roll the ball, rebuild the formation for the next round. Birchwood gives the pieces a solid feel in the hand, and the rounded skittle shape makes them easy to stand up and quick to reset between turns. Suitable from age 3 and up, the compact format works well for short play sessions where aiming, releasing and watching the result take centre stage. On a smooth floor, in a play corner or as a quick family game, the set offers a simple indoor activity with a visible goal. One round can focus on knocking down as many skittles as possible, while the next invites a new throwing angle with a different starting formation.
Wooden Skill Games
Domino Rallye
100002804€4.99
The Domino Rally brings together 28 colourful wooden bricks in a straightforward tabletop format that combines building, arranging and toppling in a single activity. Each birchwood brick stands upright for domino rows, and the rectangular shape works just as well during quieter play moments for stacking, sorting and laying out patterns. The set focuses on clear, action-led play: bricks are placed one by one in lines, curves or wider formations, then a single nudge sets the whole row in motion. This repeated building practises steady hand movements, forward planning and patience. The different colours make it easy to group bricks or create alternating patterns. With 28 bricks, both short rows and more extended arrangements on a table or floor are possible. The wooden material provides a pleasant tactile experience that encourages repeated arranging, resetting and trying out new spacings. From 2 years, the Domino Rally suits quiet solo play as well as shared sessions where a formation is built together and then set off. The bricks can also be used for small towers, rows and colour-based arrangements between domino runs – a simple introduction to open-ended building.
Wooden Skill Games
Montessori Sorting Balls
100006033€19.99
The Montessori Sorting Balls bring together 9 coloured balls, 1 board and 1 wooden spoon in an 11-piece set that introduces colour sorting through a clear, action-based sequence. Children aged 2 and up place each ball with the spoon into the matching hollow — every round combines colour recognition with controlled movement and visual matching. The board with colour-coordinated indentations makes each match easy to follow, while the spoon shifts the action from simple picking up to deliberate transferring. This added step encourages steadier wrist movements, more conscious gripping and repeated practice with matching. Components in birch and beech alongside lime plywood give the set its solid wooden character, and the smooth surfaces keep the pieces easy to handle during short and longer play sessions. On a table or play mat the set creates a calm sorting task that can be repeated ball by ball or as a complete matching round. The set also suits open-ended Montessori-style play, where children return to the board, spoon and balls at their own pace. More about FSC® | www.fsc.org | FSC-C005308
Wooden Skill Games
Learn Numbers Game
100002800€5.99
This number learning game turns first counting exercises into a hands-on matching task: 20 pieces make up 10 pairs covering the numbers 1 to 10. Each pair consists of a numeral half and a picture half, and every set has its own shape – so the correct match is confirmed both by the interlocking cut and by the counted image. The linden plywood pieces are sized for calm table or floor play, inviting children to lay them out, rotate them and compare them again and again. The number sequence becomes easy to follow when the pairs are arranged from 1 to 10, while the picture cards offer a second route into learning by linking each digit to a visible quantity. Varied motifs keep the counting task fresh and give every card its own visual cue. The shaped connections usefully slow down movement, encouraging careful alignment, steady hand gestures and focused trial and error. The set suits short matching rounds, guided counting practice and independent puzzle play. It can be used for sorting by number, arranging completed pairs in the correct sequence, or checking whether the counted objects match the printed numeral on each card.
Wooden Skill Games
Threading Game
100002807€7.99
This threading game brings together 13 birch wood pieces in different shapes for a compact activity centred on direct hand movements and clear, repeatable sequences. Each piece is picked up individually, keeping the focus entirely on grasping, guiding and placing – with no rushed moves or complicated rules. The varied shapes encourage forming different sequences and aligning each piece with care. The birch wood feels smooth and firm in the hand, and the 13-piece set is easy to reset and play through again and again. Suitable from age 3, the simple act of threading supports first steps in coordination, control and visual attention through concrete movement. Whether at a table, on the floor or as a quiet activity between livelier play sessions, the threading game suits short practice rounds just as well as longer sorting and shape play. The pieces can be rearranged, compared and threaded in a different order every time.
Wooden Skill Games
Fishing Game
100005100€17.99
This magnetic fishing game combines a catching game with a clear ocean theme: 16 fish, 2 fishing rods and an aquarium tray form the central play area. The magnetic tips allow direct action – the rod lowers towards a sea creature, the magnet catches, and the piece lifts out of the tray in a controlled movement. Suitable from 2 years. The 19-piece set combines linden wood and beech with ABS and PP components, bringing together wooden play pieces and functional rod parts. Several sea creatures carry printed numbers, opening up a further concrete activity alongside pure catching: pieces can be grouped, counted or placed back into the tray by number. With 2 fishing rods, 2 players can take turns or one child can switch between the rods. On a table, carpet or in a play corner, the aquarium tray keeps the fish together in a clearly defined area and frames every round with an underwater world. After catching, the sea creatures can be sorted back in for the next round – ready for lifting, placing and counting again.

Wooden Skill Games
Shape Game
100002809€6.99
This shape sorting puzzle brings together 20 colourful wooden blocks and a matching wooden frame to create a compact placement puzzle where position, colour and shape take centre stage. The birch wood construction gives every piece a solid feel in the hand, while the tray creates a clearly defined area in which the pattern gradually comes together. Recommended for ages 3 and up, the 21-piece format makes it straightforward to set up and tidy away neatly. Each block has its own outline, so the challenge lies in comparing edges, rotating pieces and working out how they fit into the frame. The different colours help to distinguish the shapes visually, supporting matching and sorting during play. Removing, turning and replacing the blocks involves repeated hand movements that suit calm, focused moments at the table. Because the entire pattern is visible within the tray, progress can be seen at a glance as the gaps grow smaller and the picture closes. The puzzle works well for short play sessions on the floor, at a table or as a quiet activity break. Once the frame is filled, the blocks can be taken out and rearranged, so the same set offers a fresh sorting challenge with every new round.
Wooden Skill Games
Threading Game Farm
100005200€13.99
The threading game brings a farm theme into a hands-on activity: 13 wooden pieces, 13 card templates and a threading frame invite children to match, arrange and thread. The pieces made from FSC®-certified beech wood (100%) sit comfortably in small hands, and the recommended age from 2 years places the game in an early play phase built around simple, repeatable actions. Each play session can have a different focus. The wooden pieces can be compared with the card templates, arranged according to the farm theme or threaded in a sequence to practise controlled hand movements. The combination of loose pieces and visual templates supports concentration through short, clear goals – switching between arranging and threading keeps the activity varied without adding extra complexity. The 26-piece format brings all the key play elements together in one compact set. At the play table, the farm theme gives the shapes a familiar setting for quiet solo play or shared moments with adults. The templates guide the first attempts; afterwards the wooden pieces can be used freely for new combinations and simple picture arrangements.

Wooden Skill Games
Wooden Tumbling Tower
100002466€9.99
The Wooden Tumbling Tower brings a familiar stacking challenge as a 54-piece birch wood set where steady movements and a good sense of balance are everything. At the start of each round the blocks are stacked into a tower; players then take turns drawing out individual blocks and placing them back on top – creating a constantly shifting construction that grows more unstable with every move. The unvarnished surface puts the shape and feel of the blocks front and centre, while the uniform block format keeps the rules simple and the tower quick to rebuild. Suitable for 1 or more players, the game works just as well for solo practice as for group rounds – every move demands a confident grip, patience and close attention to the swaying balance of the tower. Whether at the table at home, during a family games evening or in the playroom – the tower delivers short rounds that are easy to start and hard to stop. Recommended from age 5; the straightforward setup keeps the focus on timing, control and the moment a block finally gives way.
Wooden Skill Games
Color Matching Game
100002814€4.99
The colour sorting game combines colour sorting and picture matching in a compact 13 x 13 cm format, complete with a wooden frame, 8 pieces and 5 picture cards. Each card sets the task for the next round and serves as a clear visual template while the matching pieces are compared, selected and placed into the correct fields. The birch plywood gives the game a natural feel that works particularly well during calm play at a table. With 14 parts in total, the set stays manageable while still offering enough variety for many rounds. During the matching process, careful observation, hand-eye coordination and controlled placement are all practised, as every step requires comparing the card motif with the loose pieces before they fit into the frame. The compact format also helps keep all parts together between rounds. The small size suits short play sessions at home, where colours, motifs and piece positions can be discovered again and again through simple sorting and matching – from age 3.
Wooden Skill Games
Domino
100002803€6.99
This domino game transforms the classic domino principle into a picture-based matching game for ages 3 and up, using 28 linden plywood tiles. Instead of number dots, the rectangular tiles show a variety of animals and everyday objects — every move is about recognising motifs and finding the matching image. The tile size of 6 x 3 cm keeps the game compact while leaving enough surface for clear, easy-to-read illustrations. As the rows grow across a table or the floor, players compare pictures, turn tiles and decide where each piece belongs. This sequence keeps hands in motion and supports concentration through a simple, visible rule. The rectangular shape also makes it straightforward to build neat chains, restart a round quickly or sort the tiles by motif before play begins. Scope of delivery: domino game. Quiet rounds at home, short play breaks between other activities or a first introduction to rule-based matching — this wooden game suits them all. The picture-led format draws attention to observation and deliberate placement, while the 28 tiles offer enough variety for ever-changing laying patterns.
Wooden Skill Games
Montessori Sound-Memo Pair
100006031€15.99
The Montessori Sound Memo combines pair-matching and listening play in an 8-piece set made from FSC® 100%-certified birchwood. Four different sounds are built into the pieces – each round involves shaking the pieces, comparing the sounds and finding the matching pairs by ear, while small hands grip solid wooden shapes. The play principle is clear and tangible: 2 pieces belong together when they produce the same sound. This simple sequence encourages concentration, because every comparison relies on attentive listening rather than visible clues. The 8-piece format stays easy to manage on a table, shelf or play mat, and the birchwood gives each round a smooth, pleasant feel. Picking up, moving and bringing the pieces together also supports fine motor skills through repeated grasping and deliberate placing. The set suits quiet play sessions at home, early learning spaces and short shared rounds where sound recognition takes centre stage. It can be brought out for focused matching play or used as a straightforward listening activity with 4 different sound pairs. Learn more about FSC® | www.fsc.org | FSC-C005308

100002801€7.99
Remember Me is a wooden memory game with 30 tiles and 15 picture pairs that turns classic pair-finding into a hands-on table game.

Animals and everyday objects provide a clear visual language that is easy to recognise and compare, while the linden plywood construction gives every move a natural tactile quality. The 15 motifs allow for repeatable pair-finding play without complicated rules – the game sets up quickly and is ready to start straight away.

Skill Game
100002805€7.99
This skill game combines compact handheld play with animal-themed designs: 2 round wooden discs in penguin and lion motifs, each 8 cm in diameter, feature a clear playing surface with small balls beneath a transparent cover. By gradually tilting and adjusting the angle, the balls are guided across the surface using deliberate hand movements and focused attention. The round shape sits comfortably in small hands, and the linden plywood construction gives the game a light, tactile feel.

The small format suits quiet play moments on the floor, at a table or while travelling. The tilt-and-guide mechanism creates a clear, repeatable challenge that can be picked up at any time for short play sessions. Suitable from 3 years.

Memo Game
100005490€13.99
This memo game brings together 40 wooden tiles and 20 motifs in the classic picture-pair format – matching, naming and remembering all go hand in hand. The gameplay follows a simple principle: tiles are placed face down, two are turned over, and matching pictures stay open as a found pair. The motif-based design supports first word-learning steps by linking spoken words with visible images, while the repeated search for pairs trains attention and memory. The tiles are made from FSC®-certified beech wood (100%), giving the set a natural material focus backed by a recognised certificate.

Each new piece placed on the board changes its position, making the activity a genuine challenge for steady hands. Birch plywood and beech wood bring two distinct materials into play: the balancing surface and the figures each have their own tangible character. As pieces are placed on the curved surface, the tipping point shifts continuously – requiring careful hand movements and a good feel for weight distribution.

Staple Game
100002802€5.99
This Stacking Game Cube brings together 27 birch wood pieces, a round base plate and a colour cube in one compact stacking game for ages 3 and up. The different shapes are placed onto the plate one after another – each move becomes a small challenge of balance, placement and control as colourful towers slowly grow. The set includes discs, rods, cylinders, cuboids and triangles that open up new building options with every round. Because each shape sits differently on the base plate, grip and pressure adjust with every move – supporting fine motor development through repeated handling and repositioning. The colour cube introduces a simple game rule that determines which piece or colour comes next, while still leaving room for free building beyond the actual game format. The birch wood gives the pieces a solid, pleasantly tactile character that suits repeated stacking, sorting and rearranging. At the table the set works equally well for guided dice rounds and for quiet free play with towers, rows and small structures built from the same 27 pieces. The combination of game rule and free building makes the activity easy to vary – even across short play sessions.
Eichhorn skill games - hours of fun for toddlers
Playing for hours at home is easy for small children with the right indoor toys. The optimal promotion offers, for example, skill games, which are available in numerous variants. Wooden games provide huge fun and entertainment, but there are some things to consider when buying them.
Colorful wooden puzzles - fun & learning is guaranteed here
There are many games for dexterity, for example, colorful wooden puzzles. These are not only a lot of fun, they also promote important skills such as stamina, patience, dexterity and logical thinking.
Wooden skill games are perfect for playing alone, in pairs or with several people. The first rules are learned, and losing and the frustration tolerance that grows with it are also part of the development process.
From what age are wooden games & wooden skill games suitable?
There are wooden skill games for all ages. Already from two years the games are fun for small children. Whether wooden games for children from two years, wooden games for children from three years, wooden games for children from four years or wooden games for children from five years - the decisive factor is always the developmental stage of the child, which can be individually quite different.
From the age of two, simple wooden games of skill are already suitable. However, the duration of the game is still rather short, since concentration and understanding of the rules are still low at this age. Instead of hours of play, short sessions for in between are recommended.
If the fine motor skills and logical thinking skills are already better developed, more complex skill games made of wood are suitable. For example, the Eichhorn picture memo game, Eichhorn threading game or Eichhorn fishing game.
What to look for when buying wooden toys & wooden skill games?
Wooden toys for children should be safe, stable and durable. In addition to the age recommendation, high product quality and sustainability are important when choosing wooden toys. Wooden skill games should also be washable.
Age recommendation
Pay attention to the specific age recommendation when you buy wooden skill games for your child. For children under two years, it is important that there be no small parts that can be swallowed.
Product quality
A high quality of the product guarantees you a long durability. Robust wooden materials that do not splinter or break easily are ideal. Edges and corners should be rounded for a pleasant feel and safe play.
Security
Varnishes, stains and paints containing harmful substances have no place in wooden games of skill. Since small children like to explore toys with their mouths, only pollutant-free, water-soluble paints are allowed. When buying toys, look for appropriate seals that guarantee they are safe for children, such as the "Blue Angel".
Washable
An important criterion is hygiene. Whether children put the wooden games in their mouths or touch them with dirty hands - high-quality wooden skill games can be easily washed off after use.
Sustainability
The sustainability factor is an important concern for many parents when they buy wooden skill games. Wooden toys are sustainable if they do not have to travel long distances after production, i.e. ideally they are "Made in Germany". If possible, the wood should come entirely from sustainable forestry. This can be recognized by the FSC seal.
The Eichhorn range - wooden games & wooden skill games
Eichhorn wooden games are available in different variants. For example, the popular Eichhorn picture-memo game, in which children have to memorize and uncover different picture motifs like in classic memory.
The 13-piece Eichhorn threading game and the fun Eichhorn fishing game are exciting and promote fine motor skills and concentration. The Eichhorn wooden wobble tower, on the other hand, is not for the faint-hearted. The stacking game on the theme of a farm and many other wooden toys will also delight young children at various stages of development.
Conclusion: wooden games & skill games made of wood - patience exercises with fun factor
Wood is particularly robust and durable as well as a renewable raw material. Whether it's a wooden fishing game, a wooden picture memo or a wooden tower game - with Eichhorn skill games you can playfully promote your child's development. Of course, the skill games for children from Eichhorn are also a lot of fun. Eichhorn places great value on safe, stable and sustainable materials that are also washable.
