That's kind of what I was thinking - children who are at the stage of
selecting a lamb from a range of animals would probably not be able to
read the instructions anyway.

On that one, do you think that having an adult sheep there could be
confusing ... they might not understand the instruction, but the fact
that there are two sheep-like things would stand out anyway.
Personally, for that one, I'd have had the 4 baby animals & a voice
asking them "Which is the lamb" ... and, if they got it wrong the
voice then saying, "Remember that a lamb is a baby sheep" ... just to
help them organise their thoughts. (How a hearing impaired child who
can't read would cope is another matter...)

(By the way, I often wear sunglasses & a hat when I'm wearing shorts,
as well as the T-shirt ;))

The pictures are nice & clear though - and might well be clear for
children with limited sight.
