Magna-Tiles | Polygons Expansion Set, 8 pcs

“Polygon” is a Greek word meaning “many angles” and refers to a closed geometric shape bounded by straight sides. A fun fact and a mini math lesson in one!

This set of polygons opens the door to even more exciting creations. The pieces come in bright, clear colours— perfect for use on a light table, where they really get to shine. Try shining a flashlight on your creations and watch the colourful tiles come to life with a beautiful glow.

This set includes:

- 4 diamonds
- 4 pentagons (five-sided shapes)

Here, important skills are stimulated, which are wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Here, your child's fine motor skills really get a workout.
• Strengthens creativity in your child.
• Stimulates your child's basic mathematical understanding of numbers, quantities, and counting.

Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 11 yrs.

Building and construction play is very educational, very fun, and a bit time consuming. We won't burden you with a long-winded essay about how this type of play supports your child's fine motor skills, creativity, and hand-eye coordination as well as their understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.

With this type of play, your child also gets hands-on experience with solving problems when it comes to figuring out how to put together the construction so it doesn't fall over. Your child's construction play with all sorts of pieces, blocks, and other building materials stimulates their imagination. Also, it's just such a confidence boost to construct a tall, tall tower or build the world's longest marble run, or to maybe make an impressive domino track and film it as it topples.

Do you know Magna-Tiles?

The quality magnetic building toys Magna-Tiles encourage and challenge children to use geometric shapes to build both very small and quite large structures - just like footballs and bridges both consist of geometric shapes. Magna-Tiles are magnetic on all sides, so they easily stick to each other due to their magnetic properties. The tiles come in many colours, shapes, and themes, so whether your child likes animals or mirror mazes, Magna-Tiles are a great idea.

Magna-Tiles do not repel each other and can be put together no matter which way they're turned, because the poles of the magnets are arranged in a way that allows this. Magna-Tiles are made of ABS plastic, which makes them very robust. The magnets are arranged differently than on Magformers, so Magformers and Magna-Tiles do not fit together. But Connetix and Magna-Tiles fit together perfectly.

The magnetic tiles can be cleaned with a damp cloth. They should not be submerged in water or put in the dishwasher or washing machine. If they do get wet, you can set them upright to dry so the water can drain.
