Tangrams are awesome! Frustrating but mostly awesome. They help your kids with logic and spatial development and its a lot of fun for them too. I have created a set of ocean animals tangram cards for kids to use. They will help the skills I just mentioned and you can use it as a springboard for talking about the creatures in the ocean.
