This is a kids toy that is made up of multiple extruded Octahedron shapes.
In geometry, an octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces. The term is most commonly used to refer to the regular octahedron, a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex. From Wikipedia.
A unique property of octahedron’s is that if you extrude the it along the x and y axis you create a shape that is stackable to create a larger octahedron. They can also be rotated will stack neatly.
The end result is a rather simple creative toy.
The shapes are based around 25mm Octahedron. To help prevent the risk of choking the smallest size comes in two forms, one is a solid, the other is hollow. The hollow cube will need support.
