|
|
New Construction Set Toy Bridges the Gap Between Model Building Kits, 3D Puzzles, and |
|
Math/Science Manipulatives |
|
|
|
Polymorf builds life-like models of creatures that walk, talk, and fly; vehicles; buildings; polyhedra; |
|
and even crystals. For ages 8 - 88. |

VANCOUVER, WA, March 1, 2004 - Polymorf, Inc. - "Polymorf is really four sets in one," |
|
says the inventor, Rick Engel. "It has the versatility of a construction set toy, the realism of a |
|
model building kit, the challenge of a 3D puzzle, and the educational value of a math and science |
|
manipulative." |
|
|
|
Polymorf's versatility is due to its patented connection system which permits up to six freely |
|
hinging building panels to be joined together edge to edge at the same time compared to just two |
|
panels for its leading competitor. Up to thirty panels can be clustered together to radiate out from |
|
a common center point. |
|
|
|
Engel asserts that the unique design of Polymorf's geometric shaped panels lets the shape of |
|
the model to be contoured to look life-like compared to the "blocky" or "stick figure" look of |
|
conventional construction sets. Also, an infinite variety of models can be built, not just the one the |
|
kit was made for. And, unlike pre-cut 3D jig saw puzzle pieces that can only be joined together |
|
one way to solve just one puzzle, with Polymorf the combinations are infinite for solving an infinite |
|
number of puzzles. Finally, as a cross-disciplinary math and science manipulative Polymorf |
|
models can demonstrate concepts in such diverse fields as geometry, crystallography, biology, |
|
engineering, architecture, and art. |
|
|
|
Polymorf building panels and connectors are made from durable plastic and come in six |
|
vibrant colors. All products come with a 30 day money back guarantee. Polymorf sets, which |
|
range in price from $20 to $150, can be ordered directly from the manufacturer at |
|
http://www.polymorf.net. This colorful web site is populated by models of flying eagles, charging |
|
dinosaurs, running dudes, spinning Ferris wheels, slithering snakes, leaping frogs, speeding dune |
|
buggies, and rocketing space shuttles to name a few. Free original animated clip art and cartoons |
|
featuring Polymorf characters are presented for viewing and downloading. A lesson on the |
|
geometry of the Platonic solids is also offered for personal or classroom use. |
|
|
|
