Giant Polydron won the 2012 Teacher’s Choice Award. The Teachers’ Choice Awards recognise excellence in class room products. Entries are judged by teams of experienced teachers who tested the effectiveness of products in actual class room use. Some of the judges comments are listed below: “ I like that the pieces are very bright and sturdy. the pieces are easy to connect to each other. Many different ages can enjoy playing with this product, older children would make more elaborate and difficult shapes and younger children can just connect the pieces together.” “ Gross motor skills are used, creative thinking, working together to create a project, problem-solving when pieces do not fit. It is a great product to use many parts of your brain.”
