21 Feb Fun and Learning Combined: The Benefits of Magnetic Tangram with Adhesive Boards
Adhesive boards offer numerous benefits for children, such as fostering creativity and providing fun moments. However, beyond what many people think, these boards are powerful tools that contribute to the overall development of our children. Not only do they stimulate imagination, but they also positively impact cognitive, motor, and emotional growth.
At Sticky Boards, we are a team of parents committed to the development of our little ones. That’s why we’ve combined the best of our adhesive boards with an exceptional educational tool and we’re in constantly search for improve our product.
The Tangram:
The tangram is a Chinese puzzle with centuries of history that helps develop geometric, perceptual, concentration, and motor skills. With its 7 pieces, this game stimulates creativity, perception, analytical thinking, spatial awareness, and psychomotor skills. For all these reasons, the tangram is considered a fundamental educational resource around the world, as it is both fun and practical.
With all this in mind, our team has created a magnetic tangram that comes with all our arch boards, so children can enjoy incredible moments while developing key skills.
Here are some creative ideas to make the most of your tangram alongside your adhesive board. These activities will not only stimulate children’s imagination but also enhance their cognitive and motor development. Take note!
1. Create figures and tell stories:
Use the tangram pieces to form different figures, such as animals, people, or scenes. Once the child has created a figure, encourage them to tell a story related to it. This activity promotes creativity, vocabulary, and oral expression while developing problem-solving skills and visual perception.
2. Guess the shape:
Place several tangram pieces on the adhesive board and ask the child to guess what figure you’ve created. You can take it a step further by challenging them to recreate the same figure using their own pieces. This is not only fun, but it also helps improve hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness.
3. Classification games:
Organize the tangram pieces by color or shape. Then, ask the children to classify the pieces into categories. This activity promotes logical thinking and classification skills while also strengthening fine motor skills through handling the pieces.
4. Puzzle-solving challenges:
Propose a quick puzzle-solving challenge: show a completed figure using the tangram pieces and have the child try to replicate it within a set time. This improves concentration, visual memory, and problem-solving abilities.
5. Tracing and drawing on the board:
Use the tangram pieces to trace shapes on the adhesive board with a marker, then invite the child to draw the shape or complete the figure. This encourages coordination, fine motor skill development, and understanding of geometric shapes.
6. Create patterns and sequences:
Have the child create patterns using the tangram pieces, such as alternating colors or shapes, and then ask them to continue the pattern on their own. This helps develop mathematical and logical skills, while also increasing attention to detail.
7. Free play:
Let the children play freely with the tangram on the adhesive board, creating any figure they can imagine. Free play is essential for fostering autonomy and creativity, allowing children to explore and experiment without restrictions.
