Polydron XL Set 1, 12 pcs
These huge XL Polydrons are four times larger than Giant Polydrons. That's about as big as it gets - at least to our knowledge.
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.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 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.
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 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 add-ons.
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 them - 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.
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.
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.

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: 40,5 x 40,5 cm.Suitable for children aged 2 yrs. to 5 yrs.
Constructing and building is very educational, very fun, and a bit time consuming. We can easily write a whole essay about how building and construction play stimulates your child's hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and creativity as well as their interest in entrepreneurship and understanding of geometry.
With this type of play, your child also gets real hands-on experience with solving problems as they figure out how to put together the construction so it doesn't suddenly collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of blocks, pieces, and sticks stimulates their imagination. And it's just so cool and satisfying to construct a tall, tall tower or build the world's longest marble run, or to make an impressive row of dominoes and film it when it topples.

Do you know Polydron?
The ToyAcademy team have a permanent play date with Polydron from England. The first toys Polydron launched weresolid plastic pieces that your child can put together in many different ways. The original pieces are still available, and they bring joy to children with developmental and imaginative play in countless schools, kindergartens, and private homes.
Today, there are many different Polydron variants. Polydron MAG are magnetic building pieces, which also come with mirrors or as baby toys. Also check out our huge XL Polydron sets, which are ideal for building huge creations - even an actual playhouse. Polydron pieces can be used outside, and they last for like a century. A common feature of all the variants is that they're really robust toys that you can donate or sell after you're done with them.
