<ul><li>SIMPLE TO BUILD - 1. Cut your struts to length 2. Push connectors into struts 3. Start connecting!</li><li>MAKE UP TO A 45cm (18") DOME - You also get 4 extra 6-way hubs to help with dome adaptation ideas, and give you more flexibility to test other ideas and structures.</li><li>WAHTS INCLUDED? - Visual, easy to follow instructions 6x 5-way hubs 24x 6-way hubs 168x ball connectors 12x base feet 3x sign 50x easy to cut paper struts Need more struts? The kit can be used with most standard (6mm) paper drinking straws, although we recommend buying a small number first to test the fit</li><li>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.</li><li>AGE RANGE - We recommend the kit for age 6+. There is a choking hazard due to small parts, so it's definitely not for children age 3 or under.</li></ul><br><br>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 theres 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.
