I like Polydrons. They're not the perfect educational material, like any support they have their faults, but there are so many possibilities for their use, from illustrating geometrical and engineering concepts to just plain simple improvisational art-work/construction. The only problem is that I have found so very little down-to-earth help with their use. So I would like to try and share what I have found as well as what I have done myself in the hopes that it will help others who wish to expand their use of this material. I hope you find it helpful.
