Neat idea:) My 35 and 31 year olds loved to play with these when they we younger. I can make them for the grandkids!

Good idea and I like the idea I had for making them and donating to our food pantry when they have family night and play games etc....maybe some beanbags also

Thanks for the link--great idea!

These are cute! I need to make some of these for my kids. If they had a felt/fleece/batting board they could use them in the car on a trip! ;)

My daughter is a Montessori teacher and I see this as a nice addition to her classroom

this would be great for my craft sale in October

Thanks so much for this. I've been wondering what I could do for boys. I have something for girls....this is perfect for church.

charlotte37830 07-08-2011 09:30 AM

You guys are going to have to quit finding all of these cute things. My Christmas sewing is never going to get finished!!!! Oh, well, one more won't hurt. LOL

I didn't even think of that. I'll add these to that list of sewing also.

starshine 07-08-2011 10:36 AM

My grown kids also had a plastice Tanagram when they were younger. No grandkids yet but will have to keep this in mind if I do have some down the timeline.

This would also be great for a travel game.

LindaaJR 07-08-2011 11:15 AM

I like that and would be something easy to take when going to visit people or even doctor's office, etc. Thanks for the link. Of course I had to spend some time looking around the site LOL.
Take care
Linda

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing.

labtechkty 07-08-2011 02:01 PM

What a great idea...thanks for the post...

madamekelly 07-08-2011 02:23 PM

I made these bags for my DD's Legos, Army men, Farm animals, etc. it was easy to put things away that way. I always made a new one when the toy was new, so I didn't step on the little buggers!

golfer 07-08-2011 02:59 PM

Don't need to go to Toys R Us. This is a good way to show them creativity. Thank you.

Sandra in Minnesota 07-08-2011 03:16 PM

Looks like fun!

klarina 07-08-2011 03:59 PM

love it!

Pat G 07-08-2011 07:53 PM

I'm a little confused as to just what a "tangram" is. Looks like a bunch of diff. size triangles. What am I missing here? I've never heard of it. Please enlighten me.

It is a simple game ..you rearrange the various pieces to make different shapes..a puzzle..
