####Make Your Own Dodecahedron
Whenever possible, it is preferable that children make or even design their own models and further mathematize their experiences such as making origamis. After playing around with the angles of the Platonic dodecahedron, I designed a vertex connector and an edge which can be easily snapped together for a dodecahedron. The edge bars have some bumps at the ends to keep them from falling out.
Of course, one needs 20 (V) vertex connectors and 30 (E) edges.
