Both children and adults like puzzle games: they are exciting, develop ingenuity and non-standard thinking, raise self-esteem, and do not require special knowledge. In addition, such games are an excellent replacement for electronic gadgets that have captured the time and mind of modern people. Perhaps one of the most famous puzzles is the tangram - a square cut into seven parts. In today's article, we will consider the main aspects related to this exciting game: the history of the tangram, the rules of the game, the benefits for child development and ways to make a tangram yourself.
Chinese tangram puzzle game: rules and history
Tangram (from the Chinese "seven tablets of skill") consists of seven flat figures, or tans. They must be folded in a certain way to obtain a more complex figure depicting a person, animal, plant, object, number, letter, etc. The conditions of the game are the use of all seven tangram pieces and no overlap between the pieces. You should start adding the puzzle by finding the location of the largest triangle.
Tangram is considered an ancient game that originated over 4,000 years ago. According to legend, a porcelain tile fell out of the hands of one person and broke. It turned out 7 parts, and the frustrated person tried to quickly put them together again into a single whole, but the result was the appearance of various figures. The lesson turned out to be very exciting, later it turned into a game and found many fans.
Another beautiful legend tells of the battle between the God of Thunder and the Great Dragon. The God of Thunder broke the sky into 7 parts that fell to the ground. Black pieces absorbed the earth's light and all existing forms of objects. The dragon began to create various forms from "pieces of the sky" - animals, plants, humans.
However, despite the well-established idea of the tangram as a ancient game, the earliest depiction of his figures in a Chinese book dates from 1813. Already at the beginning of the 19th century, thanks to the development of trade relations with China, this game became popular in Europe and America. The oldest copy of the tangram was given to the son of an American shipowner in 1802; it is made of ivory and kept in a silk case.
Fans of the game were, for example, Edgar Allan Poe and Lewis Carroll. In the library of the latter there was a book with 323 tasks for this puzzle.
How many figures are in the tangram and what are they?
Tangram consists of 7 parts obtained by cutting a square. What figures are included in the tangram? These are 5 triangles (2 large, 1 medium and 2 small), a parallelogram and a square. From such a small number of details, one can obtain great amount various figures - it is estimated that there are more than 7000 options!
How to play tangram: rules
Tangram is a simple and simple game. Its rules are as follows:
- From the details of the tangram, you need to add an image of an animal, a person, an object, a letter, a number, a geometric figure;
- The assembled figure must include all 7 parts of the tangram;
- Parts must be in contact without overlapping each other;
- The addition of the figure begins with finding the location of the large triangle.
The benefits of the educational game tangram
Despite its apparent simplicity, tangram is an excellent educational tool. No wonder it is also called a split puzzle or a geometric constructor. By assembling various figures from tangram parts, a child can learn a lot.
What develops tangram:
- perseverance (like any other puzzle, tangram takes time);
- attention, ability to concentrate on details;
- imagination - the child imagines the end result and ways to achieve it;
- logical thinking, since the child creates a whole from parts, analyzes options;
- the ability to follow the rules.
All these qualities and skills are important not only for learning, but for life in general.
Tangram material: wooden, magnetic, cardboard, plastic
Tangram can be made from different materials. The simplest option that is easy to make at home is a cardboard tangram. But, as you understand, it is also the most fragile.
An excellent solution would be to purchase or make a wooden tangram at home. Durable, durable and eco-friendly, it is sure to pass on from today's kids to their own.
It is very convenient to play with a magnetic tangram: you can make pieces on a special field, where they will not move anywhere or overlap each other. It is quite simple to make it at home from special foam and magnets or a special magnetic tape (soft magnet).
Plastic tangrams are quite strong and durable. You can also make them yourself.
How to make a tangram with your own hands?
Making a tangram with your own hands is not at all difficult. First decide on the material. At home, the easiest way is to make a cardboard, rubber (from porous rubber or foam) or magnetic tangram. You can also make a tangram out of felt or an office folder out of hard plastic or very thick cardboard.
The scheme of any tangram looks like this:
The size of the tangram is up to you. It will certainly be convenient for a child to play with a puzzle with a side of a square of 10-12 cm.
Cut out a square from the selected material and draw it in accordance with the diagram (you can follow the template, or you can without it). First, divide the diagonal square in half into two large triangles. Find the center of the square and the midpoints of the sides of one of the larger triangles. Divide the second large triangle in half by connecting the top of the right angle to the center of the square. Draw another large triangle according to the points obtained using a square on the remaining figures: the middle triangle, two small ones, a square and a parallelogram.
You can make all the puzzle pieces the same color, but it will be more interesting and beautiful to create a multi-colored, bright tangram. Paste the resulting parts (if they are non-color or plain) on both sides with colored paper or film. If the child makes the tangram himself, if desired, he can color every detail with pencils or felt-tip pens.
Thin plywood is best for making a wooden tangram. The blank will also need to be drawn and cut according to the scheme, and the resulting parts should be painted.
How to assemble a tangram?
You can introduce a child to the tangram as early as 3-4 years old. You should start by explaining how its parts are called. The simplest version of the game is folding the figures along the contours drawn by the elements. The child needs to find the outline of the desired shape and impose it on top. Later, he will learn to assemble compositions not on top, but next to the sample figure, which will be of a different size. Having practiced, the baby will gradually be able to move on to the addition of figures, seeing only their outer contour, or he will come up with figures himself.
You can play with a tangram one at a time, or you can arrange competitions between players.
As mentioned above, you need to start adding the tangram by finding the location of the large triangle.
Below are some options for figures that can be assembled from puzzle pieces.
Tangram, like any other puzzle, is a wonderful simulator for developing logic and imagination. Its feature is simplicity and at the same time multifunctionality, because only 7 parts can be combined into several thousand variants of figures! We hope you and your child enjoy this exciting game. Enjoy your leisure time!
It's ancient Chinese game. If we divide the square by seven geometric shapes, as shown in the figure, then from them you can make a huge number (several hundred) of a wide variety of silhouettes: a person, household items, toys, various modes of transport, numbers, letters.
The game is very easy to make. A square (its size can practically be any: 5 × 5, 7 × 7, 10 × 10, 12 × 12 cm, etc.) made of cardboard or plastic, equally painted on both sides, is cut into 7 parts. The result is 2 large, 1 medium and 2 small triangles, a square equal in size to two small triangles, and a parallelogram equal in area to a square.
Rules of the game:
1. In each assembled figure must include all seven elements.
2. When drawing up figures, the elements should not overlap each other.
3. The elements of the figures must adjoin one another.
When drawing up silhouettes, an adult constantly reminds children that it is necessary to use all parts of the set, tightly attaching them to each other.
An adult can use some techniques that will help the preschooler achieve the best results: offer an analysis of the sample as a whole or its most complex part, indicate the location of one or two figures in the silhouette being made, start laying out, and then invite the child to finish the silhouette or, conversely, complete that that was started by a child. It is necessary to constantly confirm the correctness of the child’s thoughts and actions, encourage him to plan the course of his work, discuss ways of laying out and results, encourage the desire to complete the work begun, overcoming difficulties in achieving the goal, fulfilling the plan.
Assistance to the child should be tactful, encouraging independence, activity, perseverance, initiative, leading to the achievement of results. Direct instructions on what to do and how to do it should be avoided. Such advice to children is appropriate: “Look (look) at the picture carefully. What figures is it made up of?”, “Try again, but in a different way”, “Remember how you laid it out last time, and start the same way”, “Think well first, and then do it.”
The game "Tangram" arouses great interest in children, contributes to the development of analytical-synthetic and planning activities, opens up new opportunities for improving sensory, developing creative, productive thinking, as well as moral and volitional qualities of a person.
The history of this game is interesting. Almost two and a half thousand years ago, the long-awaited son and heir was born to the elderly emperor of China. Years passed. The boy grew up healthy and quick-witted beyond his years. It gave the boy great pleasure to play with toys all day long. And then the emperor called to himself three wise men, one of whom was known as a mathematician, the other became famous as an artist, and the third was a famous philosopher. And he ordered them to come up with a game, having fun with which, his son would comprehend the beginnings of mathematics, learn to look at the world around him with the gaze of an artist, become patient, like a true philosopher, and also understand that often complex things consist of simple things. Three wise men came up with "Shi-Chao-Chu" - a square cut into seven parts.
Stages of mastering the game "Tangram"
First stage - familiarization with a set of figures for the game, converting them in order to compile a new one from 2-3 available ones.
I.
Target. Exercise children in comparing triangles in size, composing new geometric shapes from them: squares, quadrangles, triangles.
Material: children have sets of figures for the game "Tangram", the teacher has a flannelograph and a set of figures for him.
Working process. The teacher invites the children to consider a set of figures, name them, count and determine the total number. Gives tasks:
1. Select all triangles, count. Compare in size, superimposing one on top of the other.
Questions for analysis: “How many large triangles of the same size? How many little ones? Compare this triangle (medium size) with the big one and the small one. (It is larger than the smallest and smaller than the largest available.) How many triangles are there and how big are they? (Two large, 2 small and 1 medium.)
2. Take 2 large triangles and make them sequentially: square, triangle, quadrilateral. One of the children makes figures on the flannelgraph. The teacher asks to name the newly received figure and say what figures it is made of.
3. From 2 small triangles, make the same figures, placing them differently in space.
4. Make a quadrilateral from large and medium-sized triangles.
Questions for analysis: “What figure will we make? How? (Let's attach a medium triangle to a large one or vice versa.) Show the sides and corners of the quadrangle, each individual figure.
As a result, the teacher generalizes: “Triangles can be used to make new various shapes - squares, quadrangles, triangles. The figures join one another on the sides. (Shows on flannelgraph)
II.
Target. Exercise children in the ability to compose new geometric shapes from existing ones according to the model and design.
Material: for children - sets of figures for the game "Tangram". The teacher has a flannelograph and tables with geometric figures depicted on them.
Working process. Children, having examined the figures, divide them on the instructions of the teacher into 2 groups: triangles and quadrangles.
The teacher explains that this is a set of figures for the game, it is called a puzzle or tangram; so she was named after the scientist; who invented the game. You can compose many interesting images.
1. Make a quadrilateral from large and medium triangles.
2. Make a new figure from a square and 2 small triangles. (First a square, then a quadrilateral.).
3. Compose a new figure from 2 large and medium triangles. (Pentagon and quadrilateral.)
4. The teacher shows the tables and asks the children to make the same figures (see fig.). Children sequentially make figures, tell how they did it, name them.
The teacher composes them on a flannelograph.
The task is given to draw up several figures according to the children's own plan.
So, at the first stage of mastering the Tangram game, a series of exercises are carried out aimed at developing children's spatial representations, elements of geometric imagination, at developing practical skills in composing new figures by attaching one of them to another, the ratio of the sides of the figures by size. Tasks are changing. Children make up new figures according to the model, oral task, plan. They are offered to complete the task in terms of representation, and then practically: “What figure can be made up of 2 triangles and 1 square? Say first, then compose.
Second phase - drawing up silhouette figures according to dissected samples. The second stage of work with children is the most important for them to master more complex ways of drawing figures in the future. Games should be effectively used by the educator not only for the purpose of exercising in the arrangement of the parts of the figure being composed, but also in introducing children to the visual and mental analysis of the sample.
Drawing a silhouette figure of a hare
Target. To teach children to analyze the way the parts are arranged, to compose, a silhouette figure, focusing on a sample.
Material: for children - a set of figures for the game "Tangram", a sample.
Working process. The teacher shows the children a sample of the hare's silhouette figure (see the figure) and says: “Look carefully at the hare and tell how it is composed. What geometric shapes are made up of the torso, head, legs of a hare? It is necessary to name the figure and its size, since the triangles that make up the hare (shows) are of different sizes; invites several children to answer.
R. The head of the hare is made up of a square, the ear is made of a quadrilateral, the body is made of two triangles, and the paws are also made of triangles.
AT. Was Kolya correct? If you spot errors, correct them.
The teacher asks another child to tell.
R. The body must be made up of 2 large triangles, the paw (this one) - from the middle triangle and the small one, and the other - from the small triangle.
AT. Now look at what geometric figure 2 large triangles form. Show the sides and angles of this figure.
R. This is a quadrilateral (shows its outline, counts angles, sides).
AT. And what shape does the middle and small triangle form together?
R. This is a quadrilateral, here (shows) not like a rectangle.
AT. So we looked at how the hare is made up, from what figures the body, head, and paws are made up. Now take your kits and compose. Who will complete the task, check whether it is correct.
After the figure is made up, the teacher asks two children to tell how they made the figure, i.e., name the location constituent parts in order.
R. I made it this way: the head and ear - from a square and a quadrangle, the body - from 2 large triangles, paws - from a medium and small one, and 1 paw - from a small triangle.
R. My ear is made up of a quadrangle, my head is made of a square, my paw is made of a triangle, my torso is made of large triangles, my paws - these are - from 2 triangles.
Sample analysis in this case was carried out under the guidance of a teacher. In the future, children should be invited to independently analyze the figure and draw it up.
Third stage mastering the game - recreating figures according to contour patterns (undivided)
Recreation of the figure-silhouette of a running goose
Target. To teach children to presumably tell the way the parts are arranged in the figure being composed, to plan the course of compilation.
Material: sets, figures for the game "Tangram", flannelgraph, sample, board and chalk.
Working process. The teacher draws the attention of the children to the sample: “Look carefully at this sample. The figure of a running goose can be made up of 7 parts of the game. We must first tell you how this can be done. What geometric shapes can be used to make the body, head, neck, legs of a goose?
R. I think that the body is made up of 2 large triangles, the head is made of a small triangle, the neck is made of a square, the paws are triangles.
R. I think that the head is made up from the middle triangle, and then everything is the same as Lena said.
R. The head is from a middle triangle, the neck is from a square, and the body is from 2 large triangles, like this they lie (shows), and a quadrangle, and the legs are from small triangles.
AT. Take the figures and compose. And we will find out which of the guys is right.
After most of the children make up the silhouette of a goose, the teacher calls one child who draws the location of the parts with chalk on the board. All children check the figures they have compiled with the image on the board.
In the future, it is possible to analyze the sample of the figure being compiled not at the beginning of the lesson, but during it, when the children test various ways of drawing up on the basis of a presumptive independent analysis.
Tangram - an old oriental puzzle of figures obtained by cutting a square into 7 parts in a special way: 2 large triangles, one medium, 2 small triangles, a square and a parallelogram. As a result of folding these parts with each other, flat figures are obtained, the contours of which resemble all kinds of objects, ranging from humans, animals and ending with tools and household items. These types of puzzles are often referred to as "geometric construction sets", "cardboard puzzles" or "cut puzzles".
With a tangram, a child will learn to analyze images, highlight geometric shapes in them, learn to visually break an entire object into parts, and vice versa - to compose a given model from elements, and most importantly - to think logically.
How to make a tangram
A tangram can be made from cardboard or paper by printing out a template and cutting along the lines. You can download and print the tangram square diagram by clicking on the picture and selecting "print" or "save picture as...".
It is possible without a template. We draw a diagonal in a square - we get 2 triangles. Cut one of them in half into 2 small triangles. We mark the middle on each side of the second large triangle. We cut off the middle triangle and the rest of the figures at these marks. There are other options for how to draw a tangram, but when you cut it into pieces, they will be exactly the same.
A more practical and durable tangram can be cut from a rigid office folder or a plastic DVD box. You can complicate your task a little by cutting out tangrams from pieces of different felt, overcasting them around the edges, or even from plywood or wood.
How to play tangram
Each figure of the game must be made up of seven parts of the tangram, and at the same time they must not overlap.
The easiest option for preschool children 4-5 years old is to assemble figures according to diagrams (answers) drawn into elements, like a mosaic. A little practice, and the child will learn to make figures according to the contour pattern and even invent their own figures according to the same principle.
Level one - download and print a colored tangram, so it will be easier to navigate the diagram.
Schemes and figures of the game tangram
AT recent times tangram is often used by designers. The most successful use of tangram, perhaps, as furniture. There are tangram tables, and transformable upholstered furniture, and cabinet furniture. All furniture, built on the principle of tangram, is quite comfortable and functional. It can be modified depending on the mood and desire of the owner. How many different options and combinations can be made from triangular, square and quadrangular shelves. When buying such furniture, along with instructions, the buyer is given several sheets with pictures on various topics that can be folded from these shelves.In the living room you can hang shelves in the form of people, in the nursery you can put cats, hares and birds out of the same shelves, and in the dining room or library - the drawing can be on a construction theme - houses, castles, temples.
Here is such a multifunctional tangram.
Do you like to play?
- The importance and indispensability of the game in our life has long been proven by many psychologists, scientists and life itself. We have been playing since childhood, we learn to communicate in the process of playing, to build relationships.
Gathering with the whole family or with friends, chatting about different things, treating everyone with something tasty, playing some exciting games in a board game - all this is what gives our life a special flavor.
Today, the passion for board games takes on a total character. After all, modern board games are not only "walkers", but also strategic, economic, detective, logic games.
In the world there are already up to 10 thousand board games different topics. Of course, you can't keep up with all the innovations, and some games are too expensive. But the game can be made with your own hands
tangram
The success of mastering the game in children depends on the sensory development of children. Children called geometric shapes, their properties, their distinguishing features, freely move the shapes. Children develop the ability to analyze images, identify geometric shapes, modify shapes by cutting and compose them from parts.
There are various puzzle games, for the reconstruction of geometric figures of planar images of objects, animals, birds, houses, ships, such as: "Tangram", "Pythagoras", "Sphinx", "Magic Circle", "Columbian egg", "Leaf", "Vietnamese game" , "Pentamino".
But now we will consider only one of them - "Tangram".
The appearance of this chinese puzzle associated with a beautiful legend. Almost two and a half thousand years ago, the long-awaited son and heir was born to the elderly emperor of China. Years passed. The boy grew up healthy and quick-witted beyond his years. One thing bothered the old emperor. The boy took great pleasure in playing with toys all day long. The emperor called three wise men to himself, one of whom was known as a mathematician, the other became famous as an artist, and the third was a famous philosopher, and ordered them to come up with a game, having fun with which, his son would comprehend the beginnings of mathematics, learned to look at the world around him with the gaze of an artist , would become patient, like a true philosopher, and would understand that often complex things are made up of simple things. Three wise men came up with "Shi-Chao-Chu" - a square cut into seven parts.
It is said that the tangram was the favorite game of Napoleon, who, having lost his throne, spent long hours in exile playing this game, "exercising his patience and resourcefulness"
The essence of the game is to create a variety of figures, silhouettes of objects according to a model or design on a plane of seven parts of a square. Commercial kits usually come with task cards.
1 option: Simplest. If the child is small, invite him to make a figure by superimposing the elements on the sample divided into its component parts.
Option 2: If you figured out the first one, then you can make figures according to the example, that is, the picture is in front of you and you compose the elements already looking at the figures divided into parts.
3 option: For older children, you can leave only the contours in the figure.
4 option: Actually creative tasks - to come up with and fold the figure yourself.
Toddlers can also join the puzzle. For them, you can come up with very simple tasks. For example, fold from two triangles or from two rectangles - squares, from triangles - a large triangle or parallelogram. This method can be used to study the basic geometric shapes.
You can make a tangram yourself. It's very simple. You will need a puzzle template. Print the Tangram or draw it yourself according to the sample. You can use multi-colored elements, if the child is small - at the same time remember the colors, and it’s more interesting to work - play with colorful
material.
When solving the puzzle, two rules must be observed: the first is that all seven figures of the tangram must be used, and the second is that the figures must not overlap with each other. Having adopted the mathematical science - combinatorics, more than 5000 possible variants of folded figures were obtained.
Assembly examples:
"PYTHAGORAS"
Puzzle Pythagorasvery similar to the good old Tangram.Puzzlehas the shape of a square, cut into 7 parts, combining which, you can create a huge number of geometric shapes, silhouettes of animals, people, various objects, etc. All the details are of different sizes, this is the difficulty, so it is quite difficult to put together a figure from them.
In the instructions for puzzle15 different tasks are offered.Puzzle Pythagorascan be used in math classes, at home or at school, because it perfectly contributes to the development of imagination, logic, attention, spatial thinking, mathematical and creative abilities. You can make from cardboard or cut from plastic.pythagoras puzzleand your family are guaranteed positive emotions and good discord.
MAGIC SQUARE
The Magic Square geometric puzzle belongs to the second level of difficulty and is suitable for children aged 4 years and over. Working with a puzzle, the child will get acquainted with simple geometric shapes: a triangle, a trapezoid, a square.

Puzzle “Mongolian game”
Variety geometric puzzle, in the likeness of “Tangram” or “Pythagorean Square”.
The puzzle is a square cut into 11 pieces: 2 squares, one large rectangle, 4 small rectangles, 4 triangles. It is best to make such a puzzle from double-sided cardboard or plastic.
The essence of the game- collect figures from these elements according to the mosaic principle.
How to play:
Compose geometric shapes. On the Internet, you can find ready-made tasks with answers, or you can come up with tasks for your child yourself.
In order to draw the figures you will need a checkered sheet. You can take a regular sheet of school paper. The elements that make up “ Mongolian game” are very simple, and it will not be difficult for you to compose compositions from them.
Here, for example, are a few figures made up of puzzle pieces.
If the child is small, then you can make figures according to the example, that is, figures divided into component parts. For older children, you can leave only the contours in the figure.
Toddlers can also join the puzzle. For them, you can come up with very simple tasks. For example, fold from two triangles or from two rectangles - squares, from triangles - a large triangle or parallelogram. This method can be used to study the basic geometric shapes.
Puzzle "SPHINX"
4 triangles and 3 quadrilaterals with different aspect ratios. From
elements can be assembled silhouettes of birds, humans, animals, developing
observation and geometric imagination.
The instruction contains
schemes for building more than two dozen figures:
Games - puzzles develop spatial imagination, combinatorial abilities, ingenuity, ingenuity, resourcefulness. Easy to understand, but quite difficult to solve, puzzles are on the fine line between fun play and intellectual development.
Puzzles from Alexey Shamshin
Puzzle Archimedes STOMACHION
The proposed puzzle Archimedean game is a unique geometric constructor, which was played in ancient times. Its other name is "Stomachion".
The elements of the game are obtained by arbitrary division of the rectangle into 14 parts. From the resulting details, various subject silhouettes are constructed on a plane, for example, a sitting dog, a running person, various flowers, birds. You can also add multi-figure compositions. It is necessary to introduce the child to the game gradually.
Exercise your baby in distinguishing geometric shapes. You can invite the child to count the sides, angles, group the shapes according to shape, size, name them. Then try to construct the simplest images. To facilitate the puzzle of the Archimedean game, it is proposed to first lay out the figures according to the attached diagrams.
Puzzle "LEAF"
Geometric puzzle-mosaic Leaf is designed for children aged 4+.igura resembling a lilac leaf. This lilac leaf is made of other shapes: triangles, squares, trapezoids.
Working with a puzzle develops a child's eye, perception of form, hand-eye coordination, spatial thinking and imagination.Promotes the development of arbitrariness (the ability to play by the rules and follow instructions), cognitive activity, fine motor skills, imagination, the formation of sensory standards of color, size and shape, combinatorial abilities,abstract thinking.
"Magic Circle"
The circle is cut into 10 parts. The rules of the game are the same as in others similar games: use all 10 parts to create a silhouette, without overlapping one another. The cut circle should be colored the same on both sides.

VIETNAM GAME
The composition of the "Vietnamese game" includes a circle divided into seven parts and a frame in which the elements fit. All pieces of the puzzle are streamlined, some of them are the same size. Invite your child to construct a silhouette of some animal or bird from intricate details. At first, you can not use all the elements, then gradually complicate the tasks.
You can design according to the schemes, or you can invent your own plot compositions.
By constructing simple figurative figures, children learn to perceive the form, the ability to distinguish a figure from the background, and to highlight the main features of an object. The puzzle develops the eye, analytical and synthetic functions, imagination (reproductive and creative), hand-eye coordination, and the ability to work according to the rules. The game is intended for children from 4 years old
COLUMBIA EGG
There is a story - maybe fictional. The discoverer of America Columbus was invited to the almighty Cardinal Mendoza. At the table, at the request of the guests, he began to tell how exactly he discovered the New World (which, however, he considered India). One of those present, a limited but self-confident person, shrugged his shoulders and said: “Is everything so simple?”
Columbus looked at him and handed him a chicken egg lying on a dish: "Make it stand on its toe." Of course, attempts to install the egg were unsuccessful. "It's unthinkable..." - said the discouraged interlocutor of Columbus. "It's very simple!" - the navigator answered with a grin and, breaking the toe of the egg on the table, easily forced him to stand.
The expression "Columbian egg" - has become the embodiment of a witty and unexpected way out of difficulty, a synonym for a simple solution to difficult issues.
We get acquainted with the fascinating puzzle game Columbus egg, which will perfectly brighten up the time on the road, waiting in the clinic and, of course, develop the logic and thinking of the child. The principle of the game is simple. Cut along the lines of the egg figure into small parts. The task of the child is to assemble the figurine according to the model. But sometimes you can dream up and come up with your own options, see a familiar image in the figure.
Here are the figures with tasks

Pentomino
Known logic game-puzzle. It was this game that inspired Alexei Pajitnov to create the popular computer game tetris.
Pentomino is a very popular logic game and puzzle at the same time. The elements in the game are flat figures, each of which consists of five identical squares. In total, there are 12 elements of pentomino, denoted by Latin letters, the shape of which they resemble
You can make a pentomino from cubes, but then you will need to glue and glue 60 cubes with colored film - it's difficult. We propose to make elements of their thick cardboard.
- We draw each element on a solid cardboard, cut it out, check that the element is included in the “U” element. Trim if needed. We drew details from 2.5x2.5 cm squares.
- We circle the finished cardboard element on colored paper folded in half and cut out two colored parts at once. It is better to make colored parts smaller than cardboard ones, and they stick better, and the corners will be more even.
- We glue colored paper with glue-pencil on both sides of the cardboard.
- We find a box for storing parts, where we will also put the schemes and tasks for the game.
