Jigsaw puzzle application areas, not only educational toys!

Jigsaw puzzle boards have a wide range of applications in modern times, some parents use them to improve their children's intelligence, some schools use them to do the examination questions and help students to recognize geometric shapes, and some designers use them to design household utensils to facilitate the storage, display and decoration of furniture and so on.

Before tangrams became educational toys, "Yan several", "Butterfly several" is mainly used as a table for entertaining guests, they can be placed according to the number of guests and the size of the space of any combination of convenient dining, high spatial adaptability, practicality of the placement of objects is its main The main features of these tables are that they are convenient for dining, highly adaptable to space, and practical for arranging objects. After jigsaw puzzle becomes an educational toy to utilize people's imagination and creativity, its emotional function is gradually highlighted. People can not only use tangrams to put together colorful shapes, but also enjoy the process of fun, exercise intelligence, and harvest a unique emotional experience.

The figures put together by tangrams are interesting and very general, and people can use tangrams to put together different shapes of pavilions, birds and animals, landscapes, grass and trees, etc. These figures are all made of different shapes. These figures are made of different shapes of geometrical bodies into pictorial patterns, rich in form, vivid and skillful. For example, the jigsaw puzzle is put together to form a human figure, which visually presents a pictorial feature. This kind of geometric shapes put together by the human figure and photography, painting and other design works expressed in the "human" is different, although it will look "like", but its form of language abstract condensed, rich in interest. The reason lies in the strong ability of tangrams to express things by using simple geometries, and the graphics presented are highly imaginative. This way of modeling can bring rich inspiration to the creation of designers.

Nowadays, tangrams have tended to be used in a variety of design works. For example, in 2002, Italian designer Daniele Lago designed the "Tangram Bookshelf", which utilizes the jigsaw puzzle principle to split the bookshelf into seven different shapes of modules, which can be combined in any way to form different bookshelf forms.

The bookshelf is a functional furniture for storage, display and decoration, with distinctive attributes for study, office and display. Traditional bookshelf design is relatively monotonous and conservative, favoring functional factors and ignoring visual factors. The "seven tangrams" make the function and form of clever organic combination, but also make the whole space become dynamic and more taste, which has a good reference role in the design of modern office furniture.

The jigsaw puzzle has evolved from the initial "swallow table" and "butterfly table" into today's educational toys and functional furniture, which fully demonstrates the practicality of the jigsaw puzzle that can only be improved and applied by people. In the field of children's educational toys Youliu Magnetic Technology Co., Ltd. also made improvements to the tangram board, the tangram board and magnetic combination of tangram board so that the tangram board play is not only limited to the desktop splicing graphics, but also in the vertical ferrous and magnetic material on the plane of the splicing, but also equipped with a magnetic panel painting so that the magnetic tangram board with the combination of the painting scene, parents can give their children to tell a vivid and beautiful story! The magnetic board can also be used to draw on the magnetic panels to make the magnetic tangram.
