How to use

Select a challenge card and place it where you can reference the target arrangement. Place the penguin pieces in the water positions indicated on the challenge, then use the ice blocks to fill remaining spaces on the board so the final layout matches the card. Work step by step, testing different orientations of the ice pieces until they interlock correctly around the penguins. Progress through the challenges from easiest to hardest to build skill and confidence.

Usage recommendations

Use on a flat, stable surface and keep small pieces away from very young children. For educational settings, introduce easier challenges first and allow learners time to explain their strategies to reinforce planning and spatial language. Store pieces in the original box or a small container to preserve all components.
