What is a tangram puzzle? Join Claire as she explores how these geometric puzzles can be manipulated and moved around to create different pictures and patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then follow along and create your very own puzzle using just paper, scissors, a ruler and some colouring supplies. Have a go at manipulating your puzzle and see how the triangles, square and parallelogram all fit within each other. See if you can rearrange the shapes back into the original puzzle\u2026it\u2019s not as easy as it looks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, if you\u2019re up for the challenge, battle it out with David in an epic competition of creativity. See who can create the most animals, using every piece of your tangram puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
