Puzzles around the World

Tangram puzzles were invented in China over 1,000 years ago! And now people do them all around the world. Isn’t it cool that so many of Heavenly Father’s children can have fun solving the same puzzles? We’re all more alike than different!

First, cut out the square and glue it to thick paper. Then cut out the individual shapes and use them to make the pictures below. What other pictures can you make with your puzzle?

“Meow!”

“Are you ready to set sail?”

“I love hopping. And carrots!”

“Don’t hide me under a bushel!” (see 3 Nephi 12:15).
