How it works

  1. Colour each of the seven pieces its own colour and cut them out along the lines.
  2. First put the square back together, just like on the sheet.
  3. Then try the fish and the sailing boat on the second page. Always use all seven pieces, without overlapping them.
  4. Stuck? There's a solution on the last page. Then invent a shape of your own!
