Description
Spring Math Craft Activity | Easter Bunny Tessellation Math & Art Project I The Einstein Tile | Einstein Shape | The Hat
Design a unique Spring Tessellation using the Einstein tile (the Hat)!
This engaging collaborative math & art project uses one of the latest mathematics discoveries, the Einstein tile (discovered by David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig S. Kaplan, and Chaim Goodman-Strauss)!
This amazing shape can tile the plane endlessly but only without ever quite repeating the pattern.
Each student cuts out and colors their own bunny or multiple ones.
Everyone's pieces perfectly connect together to make a mural, door decoration, or bulletin board display.
In this freebie, you will find 3 different versions of “Einstein Tiles”:
* 2 versions of Basic ‘Einstein’ Tile.
* Bunny Tessellation: It uses the same principles as the Einstein shape, but in the form of a bunny.
This resource includes:
- The printable version in PDF.

I’m not sure I fully understand what you mean by 'too small'—could you clarify? Are you using the correct printer settings? When printed on a standard A4 sheet, each tile should be approximately 10 cm. In fact, most teachers choose to print 2 pages per sheet to get even smaller pieces for their tessellations.
This resource is available for free and took a significant amount of work to create. Since the size and scale are clearly visible in the preview, it’s disappointing to receive a 2/5 rating for this reason. If you encounter any issues, please feel free to email me—my contact information is included in the material.
Thank you for your feedback! I just wanted to kindly check — did you have a chance to look at the instructions? The material includes an answer key that shows exactly how the bunnies should be arranged. As mentioned in the description, this activity is based on the discovery of a mathematical shape that can tile the plane endlessly but only without ever quite repeating the pattern. That’s why I included detailed graphic instructions to guide the process (“The graphic on page 9 may be useful for assembling your tessellation.”)
I put a lot of thought and effort into creating this resource to make an intriguing math concept accessible to students, and I shared it completely for FREE. I'm truly sorry to see it rated 3/5 despite that. Everything needed to complete the activity is included, you just need to follow the guide.
If everything at school is easy, we’re not really giving students a chance to grow. Tougher challenges can spark real learning.
