Polydron Magnetic Class Set

Maybe you've seen sets like this one at your child's kindergarten or in their classroom at school.
They're the very popular magnetic Polydron sets that help children learn about shapes, space, and magnetism while they play and create a variety of fun constructions.

This large set is suitable for kindergartens, schools, and other professional settings and for construction play at home.
Children can play with these magnetic shapes for hours on end and explore how the pieces attract or repel each other, depending on which way you turn them.
The pieces have a simple colour-coding that shows how to align the poles correctly so the shapes will connect. And of course, your child can just give it a go and figure out what works and what doesn't.

This set contains 96 magnetic pieces of different shapes:
36 squares and 60 equilateral triangles, plus a storage box.
There are practically no limits to what you can build out of geometric shapes. Even adults find themselves completely absorbed in this fun construction play, which is both educational and entertaining through and through. A fun way to play and learn, and especially brilliant for the many children who need visual aids to understand geometry.You can absolutely let the kids play with Mag Polydron outdoors. But keep your magnetic Polydron pieces in the shade or take them inside after use. Mag Polydron is made from ABS plastic, which is not UV resistant. ABS plastic is also used for food storage containers. It is made from 70% recycled plastic.

 

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

• Develops visual perception.
• Stimulates hand-eye coordination, which is used for example when we throw, kick, or catch the ball that comes flying at us in PE class, or when we cut a straight line with a pair of scissors or need to pour water into a glass without missing.

Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 11 yrs.

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

While playing, your child also gets hands-on experience with problem-solving when they need to figure out how to design the construction so it doesn't suddenly collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of building blocks, pieces, or magnets develops their patience. Also, it's just so satisfying to build the longest marble run ever or construct a skyscraper higher than yourself, or to make a really cool domino field and film it when it topples.

Do you know Polydron?

The English toy company Polydron is among Toy Academy's oldest playmates. A lot has happened since Polydron released its original toys: sturdy plastic pieces that you can put together in many different ways. The original pieces are still sold, and they bring joy to children with developmental and imaginative play in many homes, schools, and kindergartens.

Now, there are several different Polydron variants. Maybe you've heard of the magnetic building blocks Polydron MAG, which are also available with mirrors and in models suitable for young children under 3. Also, check out our XL Polydron sets which you can use to build large structures, and which can also be enjoyed outdoors and last for years and years of play. You can actually build a whole playhouse out of Polydron pieces. A common feature of all Polydron variants is that they're really tough and durable toys that can be passed down to generations of curious children who can play and learn.
