Cold Colour Wooden Tangram Puzzle by Wooden Story

Seven wooden shapes, countless possibilities and no prescribed way to play.

The Cold Colour Wooden Tangram by Wooden Story gives the classic geometric puzzle a beautifully natural interpretation in deep blue, green and exposed wood tones. Seven carefully shaped pieces fit together into a compact 10 × 10 cm square, then separate to become animals, people, buildings, abstract patterns and whatever else imagination suggests.

Made from wood sourced from FSC-certified suppliers and finished with natural plant-based oils, it is a tactile, screen-free puzzle designed for children from 3 years.

Seven Shapes, Endless Possibilities

A traditional tangram contains only seven pieces.

That simplicity is exactly what makes it so versatile.

Triangles, a square and a parallelogram can be rearranged again and again to create completely different images. Children can follow a familiar idea, reproduce a shape they have seen or begin with no plan at all and discover what appears.

One moment the pieces form a neat square.

The next they can become a bird, an animal, a boat, a mountain or something entirely invented.

Why Children Love It

There is always another arrangement to try.

Children can rotate the pieces, turn them over, move them closer together and experiment until their idea begins to take shape.

Because there is no electronic answer telling them whether something is right or wrong, they are free to create their own solutions.

Why Parents Love It

Tangram offers meaningful play with very little complexity.

There are no batteries, moving mechanisms or instructions that need to be followed every time.

The same seven pieces can be used for:

• Quiet independent play
• Geometric puzzles
• Creative picture making
• Storytelling
• Family challenges
• Travel activities
• Screen-free breaks

The included storage bag also helps keep the complete set together between play sessions.

Cool Colours Inspired by Nature

This version combines deep blues, greens and natural wood, creating a calm colour palette while allowing the grain of the material to remain visible.

The pieces are made from wood sourced from FSC-certified suppliers and finished with plant-based oils rather than being covered in a heavy synthetic surface.

The result is a simple wooden puzzle where the material remains an important part of the experience.

Geometry You Can Hold

Tangram introduces mathematical ideas in a wonderfully physical way.

Children do not need to know the vocabulary of geometry to begin discovering that:

a triangle can change direction,

two shapes can create a larger form,

the same pieces can occupy space in completely different ways,

and one small adjustment can change an entire picture.

Through play, they explore relationships between shape, size, orientation and position.

Turn, Rotate, Compare

A piece that does not fit immediately creates a small problem to solve.

Should it be rotated?

Moved somewhere else?

Combined with another shape?

Turned in a different direction?

These tiny decisions make tangram naturally suited to developing logical thinking and persistence.

There is rarely only one interesting path forward.

From Puzzle to Picture

Tangram does not have to stay a logic exercise.

Once children begin making recognizable figures, those shapes can become starting points for stories.

A geometric bird can fly somewhere.

A house can belong to a character.

A strange new creature can be given a name.

That shift from spatial puzzle to imaginative play gives the same seven pieces a surprisingly wide range of uses.

Start with the Square

The classic starting challenge is simple to explain:

Use all seven pieces to recreate the 10 × 10 cm square.

For younger children, simply exploring and combining the individual pieces can be enough.

As confidence grows, children can progress to more complex silhouettes and eventually begin designing their own.

The difficulty therefore grows naturally with the child rather than requiring different levels, batteries or additional pieces.

A Quiet Exercise in Patience

Not every figure works on the first attempt.

That is part of the value.

Tangram rewards children for moving pieces, reconsidering an approach and trying again.

Instead of giving an instant automated response, it allows the solution to emerge gradually through observation and experimentation.

Small Enough to Travel

When arranged as its traditional square, the complete puzzle measures only 10 × 10 cm.

Together with the included storage bag, that compact format makes the tangram particularly useful for:

• Holidays
• Visits to grandparents
• Restaurants and cafés
• Travel
• Weekend bags
• Quiet-time activities
• Screen-free family moments

Seven small pieces can create a surprisingly large number of possibilities.

Made in the Beskid Mountains

Wooden Story produces the tangram in the Beskid Mountains of Poland.

The design reflects the brand’s focus on natural materials, simple forms and toys that leave space for children to decide what happens next.

Rather than directing play, the pieces provide the raw material for it.

Play Alone or Together

Tangram works beautifully as an independent puzzle, but it can also become a shared family activity.

One person can create a figure for another to reproduce.

Children can take turns inventing silhouettes.

A parent can build one half of an idea while the child decides what it should become.

Older children can even create timed challenges using all seven pieces.

The rules can remain as simple or become as complex as the players choose.

From Mathematics to Imagination

One of the most beautiful things about tangram is that the boundary between learning and creativity almost disappears.

A child may begin by solving a geometric problem and end by inventing a character.

Or begin by making a picture and accidentally discover something about symmetry and shape.

Both are equally valid ways to play.

A Small Puzzle That Can Keep Changing

Seven pieces may not sound like much.

But arrange them differently and they tell an entirely new story.

Return them to the square.

Take them apart.

Build something recognizable.

Then build something no one has seen before.

Rotate, imagine, solve and begin again — seven shapes are all you need.

Her er en inspirerende brand-historie for Wooden Story, tilpasset en netbutik:

Wooden Story: Legetøj født i skoven og skabt til generationer

I en verden fuld af plastik og flygtige tendenser bringer Wooden Story magien ved ægte, tidløse ting tilbage. Det er ikke bare børnelegetøj – det er små kunstværker, der bærer naturens duft og menneskehændernes varme.

Fra bjergenes hjerte

Historien om Wooden Story begynder i de maleriske Beskider i Polen. Her, omgivet af urgamle skove, har en familie omdannet deres kærlighed til træ til en tradition, der er gået i arv fra generation til generation siden 1969. For brandets skabere er træ ikke bare et råmateriale – det er en levende, åndende substans fuld af historier, der blot venter på at blive fortalt gennem børns leg.

Kompromisløs renhed og respekt for naturen

Filosofien hos Wooden Story er dybt forankret i miljøansvar og børns sundhed:

• Bæredygtig oprindelse: Der bruges kun nøje udvalgt træ fra FSC-certificerede leverandører, hvilket sikrer skovenes bevarelse.

• Naturlig forarbejdning: Der er ingen plads til giftig maling og lak i deres produktion. Hvert stykke legetøj er håndpoleret og efterbehandlet udelukkende med naturlig bivoks og botaniske olier.

• Sikkerhed og sanseoplevelse: Den naturlige finish gør overfladerne silkebløde at røre ved. Legetøjet er fuldstændig sikkert for de mindste at "smage på" og besidder den karakteristiske, beroligende duft af ægte træ.

Legetøj med sjæl, bygget til at holde

Brandets motto er: "Legetøj, der kommer fra skoven, dufter af træ, og hvor man stadig kan høre vinden suse."

Deres minimalistiske design påtvinger ikke færdige legescenarier, men giver plads til det, der betyder mest – børns fantasi. Træklodserne, figurerne og bilerne udvikler kreativitet og finmotorik, samtidig med at de forbinder børn med den naturlige verden.

Den mest værdifulde egenskab ved Wooden Story er dog deres holdbarhed. Dette er ikke legetøj til én sæson. De er skabt til at modstå tidens tand, samle på minder og en dag gå i arv fra nutidens børn til deres egne børn.

Missionen for Wooden Story: At give børn ren, uforfalsket glæde og forældre ro i sindet ved at vide, at de vælger den sikreste, mest miljøvenlige og smukkeste start for deres familie.
