Magnetic Tangrams

The tangram is a charming and subtle puzzle. A wooden square has been divided into 7 pieces. These 7 simple shapes can be assembled in an extraordinary variety of ways. (To see an animation of tangrams cycling through 4 of these variations, click either of the showcase links above). An almost infinite number of elegant combinations are possible, from graceful animals and subtle expressions of human form, to geometric figures, letters and numbers.

The pieces in this set have been shaped from coloured wood veneer lined with magnetic material. They are therefore light enough to easily stick to your fridge door, your computer case, or any other iron/steel surface. Create a new design every day!

A selection of new and classic Tangram puzzles are included in the pack. There are 20 assorted figures, the numbers 1 to 9, and a special puzzle - "The Mystery of the Chinaman's Missing Foot."

Full instructions and solutions are given.

Price: £2.00
