Polydron

Octoplay Giant Set Natural Colours, 80 pcs

Item No: 57-80-1060
Hand-eye coordination
Shape and colour recognition

Build fun 2D and 3D models (one big or several smaller at the same time) with this large set of 80 octagonal pieces in beautiful natural colours. 

Octoplay is durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor play - wherever you have building space. 

Construction play teaches your child how to put the pieces together and how to build a solid structure that will stand on its own without toppling over. 

We often associate building blocks with quiet sit-down play, but with the Giant Octoplay pieces, your child needs to be on their feet and actively move their body as they put the shapes together. That’s why Polydron is a wonderful gift idea, both for little bundles of energy and for kids who love to build and construct but tend to opt out of physical play.

Try playing a guessing game, where one person builds something and the other has to guess what it is. For example, you can make a fun roundish reindeer or a dinosaur with this big set of 80 octagonal pieces.

Or let two teams of kids compete and collaborate to build the tallest possible free-standing tower, all while learning how to share the pieces and agree on where they should go. 

The pieces have bumps on one side, so children can tell the shapes apart by feeling them - great for their tactile sense.

Polydron is one of the biggest hits in our entire range of educational and developmental toys. It looks simple - and that’s often the hallmark of the most successful designs.

With a hole in the centre, the pieces are the perfect size for little hands to hold and handle.

All Polydron products can be assembled freely according to your own imagination or by following the included inspiration guides.

The plastic is lightweight, so it won't hurt if a piece falls on your head. However, the pieces aren’t too light - the wind won't carry off your creation on a breezy day at the playground. 

To clean, wipe down the pieces with a damp cloth.

Octoplay is made from very robust and durable ABS plastic, designed to withstand years of use in professional settings and virtually a lifetime of fun construction play at home. ABS plastic is also used for food storage containers.

Building and constructing is very educational, very fun, and a bit time consuming. We can certainly write a long book about how building and construction play strengthens your child's creativity, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills as well as interest in entrepreneurship and understanding of geometry.

With this type of play, your child also gets real hands-on experience with problem-solving when they need to figure out how to put together the construction so it doesn't suddenly fall over. Your child's construction play with all sorts of building materials makes it fun for them to concentrate. And it's just so cool and satisfying to construct a tall, tall tower or build the longest marble run ever, or to maybe create a really cool domino field and film it when it topples.

This activity strengthens essential skills which help support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

  • Wonderful for enhancing your child's visual perception.
  • Supports hand-eye coordination, a skill we use for example when we catch, throw, or kick a ball that comes flying at us in the playground, when we cut a straight line line with a pair of scissors, or when we want to pour water into a glass without missing.

Do you know Polydron?

The ToyAcademy team have a long-standing play date with English Polydron. Polydron first came on the market with
pieces of sturdy plastic that can be connected in endless ways. The classic pieces are still on the market, and they delight and entertain children with imaginative and developmental play in countless schools, kindergartens, and private homes.

Today, there are several different types of Polydron. Maybe you've heard of the magnetic building blocks Polydron MAG, which also come as baby toys or with mirrors. You can also buy giant XL Polydron sets, which are great for building huge constructions - even an actual playhouse. Polydron pieces can be played with outdoors, and they last for like a hundred years. A common feature of all Polydron variants is that they're really durable toys that you can donate or sell after you're done with them.
