The sun peeks through the window. Fill its big round golden center, then send eight short warm rays out into the morning.
Before you build with real tiles
- Lay every tile flat and look from above. Join neighboring straight edges in step order, without overlapping or stretching tiles.
- Use any colors in your own kit. Every part is an ordinary square, triangle or cutout magnetic tile.

Step 2 / 3 3. Add eight short rays
Add in this step: 4 equilateral triangle tiles · 4 right triangle tiles
Attach orange equilateral triangles at the top, bottom, left and right. Add an orange right triangle to each diagonal edge, making eight outward points.
