Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Class Set - 72 Pieces • The Dyslexia Shop

What is the Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Class Set?

The Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Class Set (code 50-9100T) is a 72-piece magnetic construction kit from Polydron for children aged 3 and over. It contains 36 squares and 36 equilateral triangles in translucent colours, plus a building guide. The pieces are made from engineering-grade MBS plastic and work with all Magnetic Polydron sets.

What can children build with the Translucent Class Set?

With 72 magnetic pieces, a group of children can build flat patterns and nets, then fold them into cubes, pyramids, prisms and other 3D solids. The magnets pull edges together, so shapes hold firm while children explore. Because the pieces are translucent, light passes through them, and colours blend where pieces overlap on a window or light panel. This adds a science and colour-mixing angle to shape work.

For schools

72 pieces give a class group enough shapes to build side by side in EYFS, KS1 and KS2.
Shows how 2D nets become 3D solids, supporting maths teaching on shape and space.
Concrete models support Quality First Teaching before pictorial and abstract work.
Works on a light panel for small group or sensory-based activities.
Suits SEND provision and intervention groups that need hands-on resources.

For parents and home use

Gives children plenty of pieces for open-ended building at home.
Translucent colours make window and light play part of learning.
Magnetic edges join easily, helping children build with confidence.
Picking up and placing pieces supports fine motor skills.
Suitable from age 3 with adult supervision, as the pieces contain magnets.

Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Hands-on construction helps many learners with SEND and learning differences understand maths ideas through touch and sight. The Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Class Set lets children hold a shape, count its sides and watch a net close into a solid. The magnets guide pieces into place, and the translucent colours give strong visual interest. Activities can be repeated and adapted to each learner's pace.

The Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Class Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for schools, nurseries and families.
