I tried one of their introductory kits (bought it out of a new-agey mailorder catalog, of all places) and I'm hooked. I just ordered their
Advanced Math Creator Kit & Geometry Book combination, which includes
green struts which give you extra directions and the ability to make all
the
platonic solids.
