Magnetic Polydron - Basic Shapes Set - 108 pieces

This versatile Magnetic Polydron Basic Shapes Set provides a vibrant, hands-on introduction to geometry, magnetism, and creative design. With 108 magnetic pieces-60 triangles and 48 squares-in four bold colours (red, yellow, green, and blue), children can easily construct a wide range of three-dimensional shapes and structures. Each piece features a coloured side and a black side to help young learners intuitively understand magnetic polarity, while the concealed magnets offer a smooth, safe, and durable finish.

Perfect for both early childhood settings and primary classrooms, this set supports STEM-based learning through play. It promotes exploration of key maths and physics concepts in an engaging and open-ended way. Whether used independently or as part of a group activity, this set enhances creativity while laying the foundation for more advanced geometric and design understanding. Compatible with all Magnetic Polydron sets except Mega Mag, this resource is ideal for continuous learning and classroom expansion.

Educational Benefits:

• Supports spatial reasoning and the understanding of 2D and 3D shapes
• Enhances fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through tactile building
• Introduces basic physics and mathematical concepts through magnetism and geometry
• Encourages logical thinking and open-ended problem solving

Classroom Activity Ideas:

• Explore geometric nets by building flat shapes and folding them into 3D forms
