BEFORE AND ... AFTER!

Now it gets serious and harder: First match (by drawing an arrow) the seed with its sprout and then find its grown-up plant.

Hey there! Dinosaur Tup has made a nice little game just for you.

Draw an arrow to connect each food on the left with the correct meal that has been prepared on the right.

Easy, right?

DINO-TANGRAM You know we dinosaurs love playing with you! Let’s discover the tangram together!

Cut out all the pieces with round-tipped scissors, carefully following the dotted lines.

Now take inspiration from the examples on the opposite page to make your own shapes and then let your imagination fly to create whatever you want: maybe an object, a person, or ... a dinosaur!

Let’s create figures and animals by placing shapes such as the square, the triangle, and the parallelogram next to each other.
