Tangrams Rule
I love tangrams. If you've never played with one, it is a square divided into 7 shapes. These 7 shapes can be arranged into an infinite number of designs. I found a website that showed how to make every letter of the alphabet and another site that specialized in tangram zombies. However, this was a project I devised for my MOPS (Mothers of PreSchoolers) group, so it needed to be appropriate for 4 year olds. This was my practice version, to save ink the boys and I coloured the shapes ourselves... The final project looked more professional but I gave them all away since this one works just fine! The square is 6"x6" on a peel-and-stick magnetic sheet. I also made a little cheat-sheet with a couple of designs for the kids to follow.

We have James' birthday tangram on our fridge to play with... fun for adults too!
I had just finished making this and the boys were playing and I was making James' card and thought... Hey! I have extra magnets, this would be cool! I am so glad you and he like it. It is fun and I like seeing what the boys come up with!
