Have you ever dropped a dish and broken it at home? Did you try and try to fit it back together before Mom or Dad found out? Then you will be able to relate to Tan, the Chinese man who broke his prized possession, a beautiful ceramic tile while carrying up the stairs of the Emperor’s palace! Much as he tried, Tan could never put the pieces back together to make a square but he made lots of neat pictures while he tried – today these are called “Tangrams”. Come and see if you are smarter than our friend Tan – can you fit your Tangram back together? We’ll have as much fun making pictures as he did while we try.

PS! We’ll be trying Chinese treats while we learn fascinating facts about Ancient China too! – yum!
