DIY Tangram Puzzles for Kids that are Perfect for Valentine's Day

To make these DIY foam heart tangram puzzles, I used:

Craft foam

Scissors

I cut out four large hearts using a different color for each heart. Then I cut each heart into random pieces. Some are more basic, like the purple one pictured below, but others, like the yellow one, have more pieces and are trickier to put together. Just be sure to tailor the puzzles to your child's skills and age.

The boys loved putting these puzzles together. The purple one is really all three year old K could handle independently.

Five year old J, who has "very superior visual-spatial skills," excelled at putting these puzzles together, even the ones that were trickier. And here I thought I could stump him...pfft. Of course not!
