Discover the Tangram Magic
Pick up a smooth, painted triangle and slot it neatly into its outline. That satisfying click as shapes fit together brings colour recognition and creative play to life. I still remember Mr Thompson’s eyes lighting up when he recreated his childhood sailboat from the picture cards—magic in every piece.
