There are five regular solids – we call these the Platonic solids. The faces of a platonic solid are all the same, regular shape, and the same number of faces meet at each vertex (corner). In this activity you can make all five of them!
Safety: Use clean hands and equipment if you plan to eat the lollies later.
You will need
- Lots of toothpicks
- Jelly snakes or similar jelly lollies, cut into small pieces, about 5-10 mm wide.
