Look, then try.
On paper, place the largest pieces first and glue only when you like the arrangement. On screen, draw your shapes in the box below; this is a drawing space, not a drag-and-drop puzzle. You can turn or overlap shapes in your design.
Create with a grown-up. An adult helps with cutting. Use child-safe glue, keep small scraps out of mouths and keep devices away from glue.
Use a finger, stylus or mouse in each drawing box. Type below it, or ask a grown-up to write your words. Your work stays in this tab. Save before refreshing or leaving.

What are we learning?
