A Tiny Desert Rest Stop

At a desert camel rest stop, Noura makes a tiny model of the place. She uses small yellow plastic tiles with edges that snap together. Each tile is the same size and shape. Noura first joins 12 tiles to make a flat model walking path. The path has two rows of six tiles.

Noura gently pulls the joined edges apart. She puts the loose tiles in a bowl. She checks them: each tile is still a whole yellow square. Next, she joins the tiles to make a flat model resting pad for a toy camel. The pad has three rows of four tiles. The bowl is empty. Noura has not brought in any other tiles. She keeps the model on a table indoors, away from blowing sand.
