Tangram Tee – Wear a tee in over 6,000 ways

When it comes to encouraging creativity in our kids, the possibilities are limitless. While creativity is conventionally encouraged in subjects like art and music, I recently came across a new medium where kids can exercise their creativity with their T-shirt with the Tangram Tee.

Tangram Tee

The Tangram Tee is an innovative T-shirt that gives kids the freedom to come up with their patterns and design on their tee with pieces of Tangram. When I first heard of the idea, I thought it was such a clever idea to use a T-shirt as a canvas to showcase their creations. Just imagine the possibilities you can come up with!

Educational Benefits of Tangrams

If you’re unfamiliar with Tangrams, it’s an ancient Chinese puzzle that comprises of seven pieces of three geometric shapes – two large, one medium and two small triangles, one square and one parallelogram.

Research has shown that there are many benefits of playing with Tangram, from developing problem-solving and logical thinking skills to visual-spatial awareness, mathematical concepts and of course creativity.

And the beauty of Tangrams, is that it caters to a wide variety of ages. So for young kid, its a way to practice hand eye coordination and hone their fine motor skills as they manipulate the pieces to from pictures from the given examples. For older children, it helps to spark their creativity as they attempt to invent their own unique patterns and design.

 

Our experience with Tangram Tee
When we got our Tangram Tee, it came in a foiled packaging with the pieces of Tangram accompanied by packets of alphabet in Fairy Fuchia and Sesame Black.

The front of the T-shirt has soft-loop strips which functions as a canvas to stick the velcro tangram pieces as well as the letters. The pieces do stick on well but we did lose a letter “L” the first time Sophie wore it out, so now we’re extra careful to make sure they stick on well.

For Sophie, she was more comfortable following the designs that were given while I incorporated quotes to go along her designs. Some of the given designs proved to be more challenging than others and in the process, her patience was also put to the test as she had to carefully manipulated the pieces to get them to fit while I encouraged her on the side.

And needless to say, the satisfaction of achievement was written all over her face when she successfully managed to piece the puzzle together to her desired pattern.

What a boost of confidence to wear her creation with pride!
