Polydron XL Natural Colours Set 3, 36 pcs
Imagine the fun of building castles, cars, tunnels, and boats, as easy as pie. And not just tiny versions, but ones that are big enough for your child to play inside. Here's the perfect solution if you promised your child a playhouse and are looking for a fun and easy way to keep your word.Â
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 into the builds to peek out, making tunnels to wiggle through, or competing to build the tallest structure all help develop your child’s proprioception.
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.
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.
Working on projects together is also a great way for children to develop their collaboration and communication skills. When working as a group, they'll have to share the pieces and agree on where to place them. Polydron XL is compatible with Giant Polydron and all Giant accessories.
In this set, you'll find 36 pieces in natural colours:
- 12 squares with 4 windows
- 12 squares with peepholes
- 12 triangles with windows
Polydron XL is four times larger than Giant Polydron, and the two sizes are compatible - super convenient if you already have some Giant Polydron pieces around or want to combine them with this set.
The pieces have bumps on one side, so your child can recognise the shapes by feeling them - great for developing their tactile sense. Another special feature is that the pieces have (English) braille markings on the inside, which gives children another way of exploring and recognising the shapes.
Polydron is one of the biggest hits in our entire range of educational and developmental toys. They look simple – and that’s often a hallmark of the most successful designs.
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
To clean your Polydron XL shapes, wipe them with a damp cloth and a bit of mild soap. You can also disinfect the pieces with rubbing alcohol.
You can absolutely let the kids play with their Polydron XL outside. 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 keeping your Giant Polydron shapes out of direct sunlight, but they are perfectly fine for outdoor play 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

Building and construction play is educational, fun, and also time consuming. We'll leave out a long and tedious dissertation on how this type of play supports your child's hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as well as understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.
While playing, your child also gets 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 pieces, blocks, and other building materials develops their imagination and patience. Also, it's so cool and satisfying to construct a tall, tall tower or build the world's longest marble run, or to maybe create an amazing domino row and film it as it topples.

Do you know Polydron?
The ToyAcademy team have a long-standing play date with English Polydron. The first toys Polydron launched weresolid plastic pieces that you can put together in many different ways. Original Polydron pieces are still sold, and they delight and entertain children with imaginative and developmental play in countless homes, schools, and kindergartens.
Today, there are lots of other Polydron variants. Polydron MAG are magnetic building pieces, which also come with mirrors or as baby toys. You can also choose huge XL Polydron sets which are perfect for building extra large creations, and which can also be played with outside in the garden and can last almost a lifetime. You can actually build a real Polydron playhouse that you can play in. A common feature of all the variants is that they're very durable toys that can be passed on when your child outgrows them - so they enable generations of curious children to play and learn.
