ITSPHUN
A system of geometric shapes (made by us from plastic, wood, paper, foam, felt, etc.) that can be combined in endless ways to make wonderful and colorful creations at the intersection of art and mathematics.
Play
ITSPHUN® is a great way to explore symmetry rules, recognize and follow given patterns and invent new ones.
Playing with patterns and symmetry is not only fun, but also exercises important thinking skills. (Warning: can be addictive!)

Learn
In classroom or at home, ITSPHUN® can be used for exploring many concepts in algebra and geometry.
With enough ITSPHUN® shapes, you can build models of the Platonic, Archimedean, and Johnson solids, right prisms and antiprisms, many nonconvex objects such as stellated polyhedra, partial models of infinite polyhedra and space-filling tessellations, etc. A few of these objects are shown in our photo gallery

Simpler structures can be connected resulting in an infinite number of complex combinations.
ITSPHUN® shapes can be used to make not only abstract objects, but also birds, animals, flowers, trees, houses, hats, glasses, jewelry, lamps, and much more - see a few examples in the photo gallery.
