The Lizards in this puzzle form a tessellation - where each piece perfectly connects with another without any space in between. The Lizards connect together smoothly to form a never-ending puzzle. Add more sets to create larger and more complex patterns. The Lizards can be used to introduce children to Escher's art and demonstrate the ingenuity of Escher's artwork, which is based on the geometry of symmetry and the repetition and ratation of identical figures. This Lizard set can be assembled to form a triangular playmat that can provide a soft surface for children to play on. The material is a non-toxic foam that is safe and easily cleaned. |
