Review: Great with a light box - Bought these for play with sensory consideration as they look great with a light box I made...colours very vibrant and helps extend learning opportunities
Review: Really good resource - My daughter has found getting her head around three-dimensional shapes difficult but these are absolutely spot-on. It allows her to look at the vertices sides and really be able to feel and imagine them being see-through also helps her to understand how they’re drawn in books. Would definitely recommend these to anyone whose children are struggling with three dimensional shapes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i open these shapes into their nets?**
A: Don't understand what you mean? The shapes are solid. The base of each shape can be removed and in the centre of each base is a small removable disc. You can fill them with water, sand etc., to compare volume and discuss capacity. Hope this helps? Incidentally this is a really good product, just watch out for the pyramids as the tips are extremely sharp - I used a nail file to smooth them down.

**Q: Do you need to keep the small circular pieces?**
A: I guess you don't have to but you would need to maybe if you were filling them with something, e.g. rice. I've kept them with the shapes.

**Q: How big are these, approximately?**
A: They are a good size for small hands. Adult could hold 2 or 3 in open hand. Very sturdy too.

**Q: Does this come with a sheet with names on?**
A: Yes it does, it comes with a leaflet which explains all the shapes . Brilliant visual learning aid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent toy for brainiac children!
*by H***A on 26 March 2018*

My son ADORES shapes, especially 3D ones. This is a wonderful and rare opportunity to show/explain the difference between a circle and a sphere, a semi-circle and a hemisphere, and a triangle and a cone. Really excellent teaching tool. It has the added benefit of being FILLABLE. You can place beads, sand, water etc. inside fro an added sensory effect. I only held back a star because they are delicate and the fillable side can pop off easily, so do it with them, then take them away to keep safe. Wonderful. Really.
