The shapes had to be capable of being filled in entirely by Cuisenaire rods – so 90 degree bends and single cube incremental differences in angles. I should really write a post about it. Maybe this week…

How did you play that game? Did the shapes only use 90 degree bends? Were they strictly convex? Sounds fun.

I love that your kids play with stuff you used to play with. My parents didn’t keep any of my toys and now that I have a child, I wish they had.

We don’t have these rods, but we do use paddle pop sticks to make letters, words and pictures.
