Magnetic Polydron Drivers Set - 92-Piece Wheels and Figures Kit • The Dyslexia Shop

What is the Magnetic Polydron Drivers Set?

The Magnetic Polydron Drivers Set (code 50-1095) is a 92-piece magnetic construction kit from Polydron for children aged 3 and over. It contains 4 wheels, 32 squares, 28 equilateral triangles, 16 hub squares and 12 multicultural figures (6 children and 6 adults), plus a poster to guide play. The pieces are made from 58% recycled plastic.

What can children build with the Drivers Set?

Children use the squares and triangles to build vehicle bodies, attach the wheels with hub squares and then add drivers and passengers. Polydron designed the set to help children explore 2D and 3D shapes through construction, build a moving vehicle and learn about pushing and pulling. Each square measures 6 x 6 cm, a size young hands can grip and join.

Supporting learners with SEND and learning differences

Hands-on magnetic construction can help learners with SEND and learning differences connect shape ideas with real movement. Children can build a vehicle, push it and see straight away how their design behaves. The magnets give instant feedback when pieces connect, and attaching wheels and figures supports fine motor control. Role play with the figures can also encourage communication and turn-taking at each learner's own pace.

The Magnetic Polydron Drivers Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for nurseries, classrooms and homes.
