Before you build with real tiles
- Adapted for the 104-piece kit. Lay every tile flat and look from above. Use the listed pieces for one picture, then return them before starting another.
- Colors are illustrative; substitute any colors in your kit. Match the actual tile shapes and join their edges without overlapping or stretching them.
