Tangram Puzzle

I bought a magnetic tangram puzzle for Valerie since she has always been doing this in Heguru class. I just wanted to reinforce this activity at home. In the end I've decided on a magnetic tangram since she already has a magnetic board.

What we learn at Heguru is the outline of each tangram piece is drawn on a paper to form an object. Children are given tangram pieces of various shapes and sized to fit in. So I drew a few for Valerie to do. It turns out that after the age of 2, she could put the correct shapes accordingly. Of course she still needed some guidance now and then, like reminding her to turn the shape around to fit. But overall she can do tangrams on her already.

Last time, mommy has to point to her where to put on the paper. But now, she wants to do it herself. My little girl is slowly exerting a bit of her independence :)
