It contains 4 wheels and 4 hubs. The set is designed to be used with other Magnetic Polydron sets, turning flat and solid shape builds into vehicles that roll. It is made from 33% recycled plastic and comes in a sturdy, reusable and recyclable carton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Add-On Wheels Set help children learn?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolydron describes this set as a way to \"create your own moving vehicles\" and \"explore push and pull\". Children attach the 4 hubs and 4 wheels to a Magnetic Polydron base, then test how far and how fast their model travels. Each square hub measures 6 x 6 cm, matching the size of standard Magnetic Polydron squares, so the pieces sit neatly alongside an existing collection. Because the wheels are an add-on, children need at least one other Magnetic Polydron set to build a complete vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor schools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdds a moving element to Magnetic Polydron sets already used in EYFS and KS1 classrooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports early science talk about pushing, pulling and how things move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives small groups a shared design challenge, such as building a vehicle that carries a load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a hands-on, practical activity that suits SEND provision and Quality First Teaching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces can be cleaned with an alcohol-based sanitiser between sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor parents and home use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtends a Magnetic Polydron set you already own with 8 extra pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages open-ended play as children design, test and rebuild their own vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting hubs and wheels to a model gives useful fine motor practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable from age 3, with adult supervision because the pieces contain magnets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupporting learners with SEND and learning differences\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHands-on construction gives many learners with SEND and learning differences a concrete way to explore ideas. Building a vehicle and watching it move links an action to a visible result, which can make cause and effect easier to understand. Joining hubs and wheels to magnetic shapes builds fine motor control, and the clear, simple pieces keep the task manageable. Adults can start with a single vehicle and add challenge step by step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magnetic Polydron Add-On Wheels Set is available to order from The Dyslexia Shop, a UK specialist in resources for SEND and learning differences, to extend your Magnetic Polydron collection at school or at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polydron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58214965444990,"sku":"TA2562","price":26.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/50-1065-magnetic-polydron-add-on-wheels-recycled-logo_5B1_5D.jpg?v=1791972251","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/magnetic-polydron-add-on-wheels-set","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
