Tangram Storytelling

Tangrams challenge kids and grown-ups to recreate an animal pattern by using all seven shapes. No overlapping allowed. The puzzles encourage problem solving and improve visual-spatial skills. You can even get creative and design your own creatures. Encourage patrons to make up stories to go along with the animals they create. The kit includes printable instructions, story prompts, patterns, and answer keys.

Available patterns and answer keys include

• Butterfly
• Camel
• Elephant
• Heron
• Horse
• Kangaroo
• Lion
• Rabbit
• Sea Lion
• Turtle
• Whale

You can also find your own free patterns online. Check out https://www.tangram-channel.com/
