If your child loves construction toys and building things, this kit is a great way for budding engineers to learn about the strength of triangles and build one of the most iconic structures in architecture; the geodesic dome, popularised by Buckminster Fuller. The struts and hubs simply snap together (quite satisfying)! Once built the dome can become all sorts of things in creative play, from a moon base or aeroplane hangar, to a hideout for evil (or good) toys, to a very mini greenhouse - if covered in clear plastic. The components can also be used to build pyramids, tunnels and other triangle-based structures, so there’s room for their imagination to explore other ideas. Compatible with Lego! Elements of the kit work with Lego - so you can incorporate Lego items into your dome to bring more possibilities for creative play. Test ideas for our full-size kit: The kit is also a great tool for testing ideas for our full-size kit where you can make a dome at human scale. You might have an idea for a greenhouse, garden room, fruit cage or brassica cage, this kit could help you get a feel for how you approach it.
