Seven pieces from one square
The square is divided into the seven classic tans with dashed cutting lines. Shaded pieces are easy to tell apart; plain pieces can be coloured in before cutting.
Ideas
- Use all seven pieces, flat and not overlapping, to build a shape.
- Try a cat, a swan, a house or a running person.
- Race a friend to rebuild the original square.
