Polydron Giant Set, 40 pcs
Giant Polydrons are construction shapes that stimulate your child's senses. Have you heard of Plus-Plus building pieces? Polydron is like a supersized version.
The shapes inspire children to create 2D and 3D geometric models.
Giant Polydrons are compatible with Polydron XL, so if you already have some Polydron XL pieces at home, you can put the two types together.Â
The pieces help children develop an understanding of textures and shapes, and they are brilliant for early-years construction play and learning, both at home, at preschool, at the restaurant, on trips, etc.
The Giant Polydron pieces have bumps on one side, so your child can recognise the shapes by feeling them - great for developing their tactile sense.Â
The insides of the Giant Polydron shapes have (English) braille patterns. This gives children another tactile way of exploring and recognising the shapes and offers an extra sensory experience.The very large shapes are super easy to put together and are the perfect size for little hands. These construction shapes are simply must-haves in daycares, preschools, play places, and waiting areas. They are also great for special education settings.
Once the pieces have been put together, the constructions are quite sturdy. So you can leave your project overnight and come back to it the next day. Unless it’s super windy, your outdoor creations will usually stand strong overnight.
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. This set contains 40 pieces: 20 squares with windows and 20 equilateral triangles with smaller peekholes.
To clean, wipe down your Giant Polydrons with a damp cloth and a bit of mild soap. You can also disinfect the pieces.
You can absolutely let the kids play with Giant Polydrons outdoors. The pieces are made of HDPE plastic, which is UV-resistant and resistant to cold and moisture. HDPE is also used to make recyclable bottles. Polydron recommends that you keep your Polydron pieces out of direct sunlight - but you can definitely leave them outside in the shade.

Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Measures Square: 21 x 21 cm.Suitable for ages 2 yrs. to 6 yrs.
Constructing and building is educational, fun, and also time consuming. We could very easily write a whole book about how this type of play stimulates your child's fine motor skills, creativity, and hand-eye coordination as well as their understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.
While playing, your child also gets real hands-on experience with problem-solving when it comes to figuring out how to set up the construction so it doesn't collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of building materials makes it fun for them to concentrate. And it's just so satisfying to build the longest marble run ever or construct a skyscraper higher than yourself, or to make a super cool domino field and film it as it topples.
