It includes 27 magnetic acrobats together with 10 equilateral triangles, 13 squares, 8 rectangles, 2 pentagons and 2 hexagons. The pieces are made from 70% recycled plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do children play and learn with the Acrobats Set?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChildren can link the magnetic acrobats together, build geometric models with the shapes, or combine both to make balancing structures. Polydron highlights the set for exploring stability and symmetry, alongside creativity and fine motor skills. Each acrobat measures 4.2 x 6 cm. The set is compatible with all existing Magnetic Polydron sets, so acrobats can be added to models built with other magnetic pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports EYFS and KS1 shape work through naming and joining triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons and hexagons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpens up talk about symmetry and balance, linking maths with early science ideas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks alongside existing Magnetic Polydron sets already in the classroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hands-on, engaging resource for Quality First Teaching, group work and SEND provision.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcrobat figures add characters and stories to open-ended building at home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalancing figures on structures takes care and patience, giving fine motor practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildren can test ideas, see what topples and try again, which builds confidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdds to any Magnetic Polydron set the family already owns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupporting learners with SEND and learning differences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands-on magnetic construction can help learners with SEND and learning differences explore ideas like balance, symmetry and shape in a concrete way. Children can see straight away whether a structure stands or falls, which makes cause and effect clear. The magnets give instant feedback when pieces connect, and placing small figures supports fine motor control. Learners can repeat and adjust builds at their own pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magnetic Polydron Acrobats Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, for use in the classroom or at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polydron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58215020953982,"sku":"TA2559","price":98.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/50-8070-magnetic-polydron-acrobats-set-recycled-logo.jpg?v=1791972865","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/magnetic-polydron-acrobats-set","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
