Opis

Tangrams are ancient Chinese, ingenious puzzles. They are deceptively simple in design, yet can stump even the most seasoned of puzzlers. Then, the light clicks on and the answer suddenly seems so obvious. It's amazing that so many puzzles can be solved with the exact same 7 shapes. Beyond the Tangram: From the inventor of Tangram Fury, comes a Tangram Fury Christmas Activity Book. This book is chalk full of Christmas-themed tangrams to solve, but takes them a step further arranging them within fun activities. Just like the other books in the Tangram Fury puzzle series, it has a series of puzzles arranged to show a silhouetted puzzle, followed by its solution. Then it additional activities such as a tangram matching game, tangram Christmas ornaments to design and decorate, tangram Christmas paradoxes to solve, a couple Daily Tangram puzzles, and more. Cut the activities directly out of the book, or photocopy them on sturdy, colored paper for enhanced play. Following a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or whimsical Christmas-theme puzzles to solve, and their solutions, and the activities. This is followed by tidbits and trivia about tangrams and some famous people who have tinkered with tangrams over the years. (Can you solve the unsolvable "Mad Hatter" tangram created by Lewis Carroll?) It also provides some tips and suggestions for those with a competitive streak. The text sections of the books are largely the same in all books in the series, but the heart of the book - the part that includes the tangram puzzles - remains unique. This book series was featured on the NewsWatch TV program on Discovery Channel: http: //newswatchtv.com/2015/12/18/tangram-fury/ Whatever time of year it is, 'tis the season for some Tangram fun
