I think they are slightly fragile. They are not toys, and cannot withstand that type of use, for sure. But! As a learning/teaching aid, these things are super cool! They are see through and have an opening, with plug, to fill each shape with water, and demonstrate the concept of volume! I liked them as an introduction into shapes, and when I got them, I saw that they were to teach all about volume too! By far, one of the coolest little sets to have in your classroom/homeschool. They could stand to be a little more sturdy, and durable. I'm afraid to drop them. Also, should come with a graduated cylinder, for filing the shapes, and precise measuring. Needed em for science anyway, so I had to grab a pack of those.

These are great. I've read people reviewing saying that theirs were falling apart out of the box and all I can think is they got a defective product. I bought two boxes and all of the shapes are fine. Most of the shapes have three pieces: the small, removable piece covering a hole (for filling) and then the removable side piece (for easier filling and cleaning) and finally the rest of the shape. They are all solid, but you are not paying for shatter resistant pieces of acrylic. This item would cost much more if you were. They are simply shapes made of thin, but not too thin Plexiglas.Obviously, if they are in cold conditions for a while the plastic will deteriorate in strength and may crumple, but otherwise these are sturdy enough.

I'm a science teacher, and I got this kit so I could use it when teaching my students about mass, volume, and density.These 3D shapes have circular sections of one face that can be removed. That's not a design flaw. These are designed to be filled with water, sand, etc. to demonstrate volume.

My son, who loved mathematics and was learning 3D shapes, was excited and got what he wanted. He started to draw 3D shapes in a week, Shapes also were fun to play in the bath, and boys used them for other buildings. However, as always with all those small plastic toys, they were broken and half way lost parts. There is a small circle detail that is easily reattached, my boys were able to poor water because of the detail, but it can be dangerous for small babies.

These plastic shapes are colorfully inviting.Many different shapes and sizes. The bottoms come off, as do the small round flat stoppers that facilitate pouring substance into the shape, thru a small funnel. Looks like fun.

My children loves this resource. Makes learning 3D shapes easier with this concrete sample. Be careful though, this is delicate, can crack easily when it accidentally falls to the floor.

I love how the shapes are see-through to really allow my students to grasp the sides and vertex !

One piece came in broken I had to glue it back together
