Wooden tangram puzzle helps 3+ years old kids with matching and sorting, color recognition, geometric shapes, counting, and beginning math skills. Fitting the pieces helps develop fine motor skills, problem-solving skills, concentration, and memory.
Let kids sort out by shape and color and make patterns (repeating shapes and colors) in small groups, or model fitting the shapes together for them, and let them experiment with covering a surface with shapes.
The Geometric shape blocks are designed in perfect size, so that two trapezoids are the same size as the hexagon, and you can put the triangle together to make a trapezoid or a hexagon. Children learn what shapes can be combined to make the bigger shapes, so they also work well to teach fractions.
Kids will thrill to find how the pieces all interlock perfectly with one another, and put them on a pattern sheet.
There are endless possibilities to make beautiful patterns and works of art with this Montessori tangram toy. The box comes with a few example pattern cards for ideas. Made of real wood and the paint on all are great, not chip off during play. You can stack them to make shapes or lay them down.
