One of the most important lessons for young minds to understand is how different shapes interact and can be used to create complex patterns and structures. Zometool have created a fantastic platform for capturing this concept with a simple, but powerful, node construction tool. It consists of a series of straight rods which connect to circular 'nodes' to form rigid structures. But don't think that Zometool is just for kids, it's just as capable of forming complex molecular structures as it is simple shapes.
What makes Zometool so fantastic is that it's completely modular, and 100% reusable. It's a refreshing change in a world where everything is disposable and is manufactured using high-quality plastic, so it will give you many years of fun.

Square bubbles, cubic bubbles, spiral bubbles. Saddle-shaped bubbles, wormhole bubbles, parabolic bubbles!! Discover a whole new world of bubble-making, tons of fun for the whole family!
ALL of Zometool's Project Kits plus a Creator 4 rolled up into one. Zometool took the best features of Zometool's Advanced Math, STEM and Classroom Kits and condensed them into this compact and powerful kit
Discover what snowflakes are made of, how they are formed and why they are always six-sided with this latest addition to Zometools project kit line. Includes instructions to build more than ten beautiful models!
This little box has 127 balls in assorted colors. All of the balls are “standard” colored balls: Blue, Yellow, Red, Green, Black, Orange, Purple, Gray, Teal (mint) and maybe one or two whites. The one thing they all have in common is that they’ll work perfectly with your Zometool collection!
In our Universe, there can be only 5 perfect 3D forms; they are known as the Platonic Solids. With this kit, you will be able to build the 5 solids at the same time, as well as explore some of the fascinating relationships between the five solids, including building each of their duals.
Zometool is a unique and award winning multi-dimensional building toy that is treasured by kids, parents, teachers artists and scientists around the world. BASIC is designed to provide a first experience with Zometool’s open-ended creation system.
So what IS a Cryptocube? A puzzle/brainteaser. You start by building an all-black Cube and the challenge is to build a maze-like structure that allows you to remove the black edges (struts) while keeping the Black Cube’s corners undisturbed. Countless solutions are possible, some simple, some mind-bogglingly complex!
Build bigger, richer models. Step up to the next level of size and complexity in your models; the number of interesting things you can build increases exponentially when you have more parts!
A beautiful introduction to the world of crystal and mineral structures. Build all 14 Bravais lattices, including all 7 simple crystal structures (which can be built simultaneously.) Explore shadows, symmetry, coordinate planes and more.
Sometimes, you just need a ton of parts. Maybe you need to engage a group —up to 20 people— at the same time. Or perhaps there is this huge model you need to build. Perfect for classrooms, workshops, big art projects and hardcore users.
Use this kit to build Kepler's Kosmos. Renowned German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) believed that the relationships between the 5 platonic solids governed the order of the universe.
Beautiful, amazing and deep; that is the Hyperdo in a nutshell. Just as 3D objects can cast flat (2D) shadows, 4D objects can cast 3D shadows. THAT is what this model represents:The Hyperdo is a 3D projection of a 4D object called the 120-cell (aka Hyperdodecahedron).
With this kit, you can choose between building the (super cool) all-black version, the “anatomically correct” version (with double bonds indicated with white struts) or the icosahedron version which shows clearly why the C60 is shaped like a truncated icosahedron.
Build hundreds of models from simple to profound. Creator 1 will help you find out why Zometool is treasured by kids, parents, scientists, artists, and educators around the world.
