Tropical Tangram Designs

Tropical Tangram Designs
50 min Easy

Tropical motifs immediately put us in a happy summer mood.
Bring the colourful world of the tropics into your home with these DIY drawings. The brightly coloured tangram fruits are quick and easy to paint. Depending on how skilled you are, you can use just the outer lines of the templates and design the inside of the fruit yourself. Or you can colour the fields according to the numbers in the 2nd template, as you do with paint-by-numbers. Because the numbers on the template correspond to the numbers on the colour pencils to be used.
