Polydron XL 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. 

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.

In this blog post, we tell you more about why it's important to stimulate your child's proprioception. 

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. 

In this set, you'll find:

• 12 squares with 4 windows
• 12 squares with 16 peepholes
• 12 triangles with windows.

Polydron XL is four times larger than Giant Polydron. Do you already have some Giant Polydron pieces, or would you like to add them on to this set? No problem at all - Polydron XL and Giant are compatible with each other.

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. 

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.
