HABA Wooden Tangram Cube Templates and Arrangement, 2+ years , 4010168253299

Tangram cube is a 3D wooden sorting game in which the child combines colorful geometric elements and creates different shapes, figures and constructions. The pieces are based on the basic tangram shapes, but here the game is transferred to a three-dimensional version and provides many more options for sorting and building.

The child can follow 10 double-sided printed cards with templates with 3 levels of difficulty or arrange freely according to their own ideas. This makes the game suitable for both model exercises and creative independent work.

Suitable for individual work at home, for classes with educators, speech therapists and resource teachers. Suitable for children with SEN, as it supports concentration, fine motor skills and working with structured visual tasks in a calm rhythm.

How to play
The child arranges the wooden elements according to a pattern or according to their own idea, looking for how the shapes fit together. It can build flat compositions, three-dimensional figures and various combinations by trying, moving and discovering new solutions. The child can start with the easier patterns and gradually move on to the more complex ones, developing confidence and independence in the process.
