A little about this puzzle

A cobbler supports a display shoe on his workbench and threads a thick lace through an eyelet. A parent and child watch from the doorway.

A wooden shoehorn hangs beside the waiting bench, where a fully visible round cushion rests. The background shoe cabinet is closed. Find the small brass bell, thick shoelace, shoe brush, wooden shoehorn, cloth tool pouch, and round soft pad. The cozy cartoon uses bold outlines and follows an ages 4–6, L1 direction. It has not been tested with children.
