All Prisms Are Platonic Solids

Platonic Solids

A Platonic Solid is a 3D shape where:

• each face is the same regular polygon
• the same number of polygons meet at each vertex (corner)

Example: the Cube is a Platonic Solid

each face is the same-sized square 3 squares run into at each corner

There are merely five platonic solids.

The Platonic Solids

For each solid we accept two printable nets (with and without tabs). You can make models with them!

Impress them on a piece of card, cut them out, tape the edges, and you will take your own ideal solids.

	Tetrahedron 3 triangles meet at each vertex 4 Faces 4 Vertices 6 Edges Tetrahedron Net Tetrahedron Net (with tabs) Spin a Tetrahedron
	Cube three squares meet at each vertex 6 Faces 8 Vertices 12 Edges Cube Net Cube Net (with tabs) Spin a Cube
	Octahedron 4 triangles meet at each vertex 8 Faces half dozen Vertices 12 Edges Octahedron Net Octahedron Net (with tabs) Spin an Octahedron
	Dodecahedron 3 pentagons run into at each vertex 12 Faces xx Vertices xxx Edges Dodecahedron Net Dodecahedron Net (with tabs) Spin a Dodecahedron
	Icosahedron 5 triangles run across at each vertex 20 Faces 12 Vertices thirty Edges Icosahedron Net Icosahedron Internet (with tabs) Spin an Icosahedron
