Composed of a hexagonal base and 28 pieces of 6 shapes and colors, this open-ended activity set focuses on the fascinating world of artistic compositions. As they construct stars, triangles, hexagons and other shapes, children will acquire notions of fractions while developing coordination skills and imagination. The wooden tray serves as a base for stacking the star puzzles, and as a template to construct hexagons. Suggestions for making flat as well as upright constructions may be found on the outside of the box, and on separate sheets inside.
