Geometric Solids with Stands, Bases, and Box

A large wooden box contains ten solid wood geometric shapes with stands and base cards.

• 10 geometric solids: cylinder, cube, ellipsoid, cone, sphere, square-based pyramid, triangular-based pyramid, ovoid, rectangular prism, and triangular prism painted in a matte blue.
• 3 stands are solid wood with a natural finish.
• 5 wooden base cards have a natural finish with a bright blue outline.

The purpose of this product is to develop the child's stereognostic sense, which creates a mental picture through touch. Helps make the child more aware of the basic shapes found in their environment. Indirectly prepares the child for later work in Mathematics especially geometry, through identifying solid shapes and exploring the relationships between their plane and curved surfaces.

Recommended ages: 3.5 years and up.

We have 3-Part Cards (PDF) to work with this set.

Features

• Materials: Beech wood.
• Box dimensions: 37 cm x 16.5 cm x 11.5 cm.
• Stands keep the sphere, ellipsoid, and ovoid from rolling away.
• Bases show the top-down 2D projection of the geometric solids.
  • One circular base corresponds to the sphere, ellipsoid, ovoid, cylinder, and cone. No duplicate bases.
