These are polypanels specifically designed to construct polyhedra. Each panel's shape was originally designed by Devin Motes at Make Anything, and he even created the decagon as a favor to me. I encourage everyone to checkout his polypanels on his website along with all his other awesome creations, and even contribute finacially to support his efforts if you see fit to do so: https://www.makeanything.design/polypanels

This project and all designs were the creation of my son who knows just about everything there is to know about polyhedron shapes. It was his idea to create holes in each shape to make it simpler to construct each polyhedron (room for fingers to reach inside to help snap the hinges together). Each polypanel has a cutout of the same shape placed in its center with edges that are half the length of the full shape (excluding hinges).

The idea was to create enough polypanels to be able to construct each of the 18 convex uniform polyhedral one at a time (make one the
