Everyone has developed a puzzle habit in quarantine, kids included. So when graphic designer Erin Jang was pondering activities to keep her littles (Miles, 9, and Noah, 4) busy while being cooped up this year, she combined two of their main interests: snacking and puzzling. The resultâtangram crackers.
For the uninitiated, tangrams are centuries-old Chinese puzzles traditionally formed by seven polygon pieces of varying sizes that fit together to form a square. âBeing a graphic designer, I like thinking about abstract shapes, so Iâve always really liked tangrams,â says Jang, who also appreciates their straightforward simplicity. âIâm all for setting my kids up with things that will keep them occupied and being able to walk away and let them play on their own.â
