Look, then try.
A grown-up cuts along the black outlines. Print at a smaller scale if you want the pieces to fit on the picture workspace. Group matching shapes, then try turning them: a triangle stays a triangle when it points another way.
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.
