Polygon construction kit

thingiverse

This is a versatile solid construction kit that lets kids bring Platonic Solids and other incredible 3D shapes to life. It's an excellent hands-on tool for exploring solids and how different shapes fit together, making it a timeless mathematics manipulative. My personal collection comes with four sizes, carefully crafted to showcase the relationship between shape and size: a triangle, a square, a pentagon, and a hexagon. As expected, each shape grows larger as more sides are added, with the hexagon being notably enormous. To give you an idea of what's possible, I've included some simple constructions made using the limited set of shapes I created.
