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.

• What is the Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Class Set?
  It is a 72-piece magnetic shape construction kit made by Polydron for children aged 3 and over. The set has 36 squares and 36 equilateral triangles in translucent colours, plus a building guide. Children use it to make 2D patterns and nets, then fold them into 3D solids.
• What age is the Translucent Class Set suitable for?
  The Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Class Set is suitable for children aged 3 years and over. Younger children enjoy making patterns and light play, while older children build nets and 3D solids. The pieces contain magnets, so adults should supervise play and keep pieces away from mouths.
• How can schools use the Translucent Class Set?
  Schools use the set to teach 2D and 3D shape through building. With 72 pieces, a class group can make cubes, pyramids and prisms, then count faces and edges. Placing models on a light panel adds a colour and light activity, which works well in early years and SEND settings.
• Is the Translucent Class Set good for home learning?
  Yes, the set gives children plenty of pieces for open-ended building and early maths at home. Children can follow the building guide or invent their own models. The translucent colours look striking against a sunny window, and joining the magnetic edges gives regular fine motor practice.
• Is it suitable for children with SEND or learning differences?
  Yes, many children with SEND and learning differences benefit from hands-on, visual resources like this set. The magnets help pieces join with less effort, and the translucent colours hold attention. Adults can start with simple sorting and patterns, then move to 3D shapes at each child's own pace.
• What is included in the Translucent Class Set?
  The set includes 72 magnetic pieces: 36 squares and 36 equilateral triangles in translucent colours. A building guide is also included to give children ideas for models. The pieces are made from engineering-grade MBS plastic, which is designed to stand up to regular use.
• Does it work with other Magnetic Polydron sets?
  Yes, the Translucent Solid Magnetic Polydron Class Set works with all Magnetic Polydron sets. This means schools and families can combine it with other magnetic sets for larger builds. Adding sets over time gives children more pieces and more ways to explore shape.
