Polydron XL Natural Colours Set 1, 12 pcs
Imagine the fun of building castles, cars, tunnels, and boats, as easy as pie. And not just tiny versions, but big enough that your child can play inside them afterwards. These giant XL Polydrons in natural colours are four times larger than Giant Polydrons, and the two sizes can be combined - super convenient if you already have one of them.
The large construction shapes invite your child to crawl inside, go around, put the pieces together, and stretch up on their tiptoes to put a roof on their playhouse or a top on their tower. Crawling inside the structures to peek out, building tunnels to wriggle through, or competing to build the tallest tower all help develop your child's proprioception.Â
We often associate building blocks with quiet sit-down play, but with Polydron XL, 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.
When your children play with this fantastic set, which is also very suitable for professional use, they learn about geometry and symmetry without even realising it.
Once the pieces are snapped together, the constructions are quite sturdy. So you can leave your project overnight and pick up where you left off the next day. Unless it’s super windy, your outdoor creations will usually stand strong overnight.Â
Polydron XL is compatible with Giant Polydron and accessories.
This set has 12 pieces:
- 4 squares with 4 windows
- 4 squares with 16 peepholes
- 4 triangles with windows
The pieces have bumps on one side, so children can tell the shapes apart by feeling the textures - great for their tactile sense. Another feature is that the insides of the Polydron pieces have (English) braille markings, which gives children another way of exploring and recognising the shapes.
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.Â
Polydron XL can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and a bit of mild soap. You can also disinfect the pieces.
You can absolutely let the kids play with Polydron XL 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 XL out of direct sunlight - but the pieces can definitely be left outside in the shade.
The pieces are made from 100% recycled plastic.

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 40,5 x 40,5 cm.Suitable for children aged 2 yrs. to 6 yrs.
Construction play is educational, fun, and also time consuming. We won't get into a long dissertation on how this type of play develops your child's hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills 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 build the construction so it doesn't suddenly collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of magnets, building blocks, or pieces stimulates their imagination. Also, it's just so cool and satisfying to construct a tall, tall tower or build the world's longest marble run, or to create a super cool domino field and film it as it topples.
