When my oldest son was 3-years-old, he loved getting out the Tangram pieces and solving Tangram puzzles. I found a 6-pack of sturdy, plastic tangrams in great colors at a teacher supply store.
You can order a colorful set of four here. Or you can print and cut out paper tangrams on cardstock here.

- Make several puzzle cards and laminate them.
- Before I gave them to my 3-year-old, I solved the puzzles and drew lines so they would be much simpler for him. Believe me, it really makes them think just figuring how to turn the pieces the right way to fit inside the puzzle.
- There are several shapes to choose from here (or click on the pictures above).

Hi, can you share how did you adjust the size of the tangram printables from the website you provided to those you attached above. I have tried printing sizes from small, medium and large but none would let my daughter fit the tangram pieces nicely on the printables. Thanks.
