    Polydron Magnetic Sets

    June 24, 2013 By Emma Vanstone 2 Comments

    My 6-year-old loves to build, whether it be LEGO, wooden blocks or junk modelling, he is always constructing something, so I knew he would enjoy the Magnetic Polydron set, but what has surprised me is how much my younger girls have enjoyed them.

    Polydrons

    The first thing H did was order them by colour, which would be a great exercise for children just starting to learn colours and practising arranging things into groups.

    The number of arguments we’ve had over them is a testament to how good they are.

    H who is 2, tends to create in 2D flat on the floor, while her older siblings build 3D structures.

    We’ve made shapes, houses, and rockets. The possibilities are endless.

    The Polydrons are black on one side and coloured on the other. They only join up when the polarity is correct, which makes them a great introduction to magnetism, too.

    The quality is excellent. H has dropped them on our kitchen tiles, and they survived without a mark.

    These are £41.99 for 32 pieces, which seems a lot, but we have already had so much play from them that I think they are worth the money.

    We were kindly sent the Polydrons by Cost Cutters Education Supplies, which is a wonderful online store full of fantastic educational toys.

      We have a similar toy called Magnatiles. My kids love them. This looks like a great educational toy as well.

      These look so fun to play with, and I love everything you can do with them.
