Cardblocks Platonic Solids Set - Constructive Blocks for Self-Assembly

Plato was not only an outstanding philosopher, but also a mathematician. Above the entrance to his Academy, he placed the inscription: "Let no one who does not know geometry enter here." He believed that matter is made of perfect entities, which are geometric figures. The simplest of them is a triangle, which is an element of other polyhedra. Equilateral triangles can form ideal solids: a tetrahedron, an octahedron, an icosahedron, and a cube from two triangles folded into a square. The combination of all elements is the dodecahedron, which is formed from regular pentagons. All Platonic solids are a closed set of polyhedra. Platonic Solids – Kit contents - Tetrahedron - Cube - Octahedron - Dodecahedron - Icosahedron Elements of solids are packed with connectors and descriptions.
