Platonic Toys

…in which I showcase the talents of my wife.

[Post updated: see here for a photo of some Platonic solid toys made by my wife (along with some babies, also made by her).

Next time, it’s the Catalan solids!

    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.
