Five Convex Regular Polyhedrons

The five platonic solids are named after the Greek philosopher Plato, who described them extensively in his dialogue “Timaeus”. He saw in them the smallest, invisible building blocks of the world and assigned them to the classical elements. However, the five solids have been known for much longer, as for example 5000 year old engraved stones from Scotland show.

With this uncomplicated kit you can build all five Platonic Solids with a uniform side length of 5 cm. The kit also includes four hangers so the solids can be hung as a mobile (Video).

Cardboard kit, includes hangers to form a mobile
