The Giant Polydron Dinosaur is a 130-piece construction set by Polydron, made from 100% recycled plastic and suitable for children aged 2 and over. Designed to spark curiosity and build essential skills, it offers a hands-on learning experience that is both stimulating and rewarding. Every piece features braille, making this an inclusive choice for children with general SEND and learning differences.

The set builds up to five unique prehistoric creatures, guided by the step-by-step model building guide included in the box. Removable dino claws add an extra dimension to play, lending themselves equally well to imaginative roleplay and sand play. The Giant Polydron pieces use large-format shapes designed to be manageable for young and developing hands.

For schools

The Giant Polydron Dinosaur is a strong addition to any EYFS or early KS1 SEND provision. The built-in braille on every piece supports inclusive practice without any adaptation, making the set accessible to a wider range of learners from the moment it is unboxed. The construction process naturally develops fine motor skills, problem-solving, and team-building abilities as children work together to assemble each model.

• Inclusive by design. Every piece features braille to support children with visual impairment or other learning differences, in line with inclusive classroom practice and the principles of the SEND Code of Practice.
• Develops three key skills at once. Hands-on construction supports fine motor development, problem-solving, and team-building - skills central to a graduated approach to SEND support.
• EYFS and early KS1 appropriate. Suitable from age 2, making it a practical choice for early years and Key Stage 1 settings, including specialist SEND resource spaces.
• Award recognised. Highly Commended at the Creative Play Awards 2025 (Imaginative Play, 0-5 years) and a Finalist at the Teach Early Years Awards 2025 (Creative Play Category).

For parents and home use

The Giant Polydron Dinosaur brings prehistoric adventure home. Children aged 2 and over can build up to five different dinosaur models, working through the included step-by-step guide at their own pace. The set offers extended, open-ended imaginative play and gives children the satisfaction of building something large and impressive with their own hands.

• Engaging and stimulating. The dinosaur theme captures young imaginations and gives children a natural motivation to engage, including children with SEND who benefit from interest-led activities.
• Builds confidence. Following a model guide and completing a large-scale build gives children a clear sense of achievement, supporting self-esteem and motivation.
• Supports fine motor development at home. The hands-on construction process provides the kind of tactile, purposeful practice that benefits children with a range of SEND needs, without feeling like formal learning.
• Made sustainably. 100% recycled plastic, 100% recyclable, and BPA free - a responsible choice for families.
