Ah! I didn’t realised you’d blogged about these! Offspring enjoys these very much, although all attempts to explain geometry to him have thus far failed…

I made them for my mathematician daughter’s first child. The second also played with them extensively. They are tremendously good first toys. I’m not doing any Catalan, Johnson etc. solids however.
