Trido Magnetic Art - Flamingo Small 12 Pieces

Trido Magnetic Art Flamingo – Small 12 Pieces

Big creativity can come in a small box. The Trido Magnetic Art Flamingo Small set is the perfect introduction to Trido’s award-winning world of 3D magnetic building. Twelve solid geometric shapes, including two octahedrons, four tetrahedrons, four half-tetrahedrons and two magnetic eyes, connect on every side to make tiny sculptures, quirky creatures and characters full of personality. Compact enough to slip into a bag and beautiful enough to sit on a desk, it’s a thoughtful gift for ages 3 and up.

The Ideal First Trido Set

With just 12 pieces, the Small set is a great way to learn how Trido works. Kids discover how tetrahedrons and octahedrons fit together, how half-tetrahedrons change an angle, and how moving one shape can transform a whole creation. Once they’ve mastered the basics, they’re ready to add more Trido sets and build bigger.

Shapes from Ancient Greece

Trido’s pieces are based on the Platonic solids, the five perfectly regular 3D shapes studied in ancient Greece. Trido uses two of them: the tetrahedron, with four faces, and the octahedron, with eight. Handling these shapes gives children an intuitive feel for geometry, symmetry and spatial relationships, long before they meet them in a maths class.

Connects on Every Face

Trido’s patented magnetic system means every side of every shape connects to another, with no repelling and no wrong way round. Strong magnets keep small builds steady, so even young children can create with confidence.

Two Eyes, Endless Characters

Add the magnetic eyes and any shape becomes a character: a bird, a fish, a little monster or something completely new. Kids can rearrange the pieces again and again and invent a fresh friend each time. For extra ideas, the Trido website has plenty of objects and characters to try.

Made for On the Go

The Small set is a great companion for car trips, flights, cafés and waiting rooms, and it makes a calming fidget for older kids and adults at a desk. It also makes a lovely party gift, stocking stuffer or add-on to a bigger present.

Is the Trido Small set a good starter set?
Yes. The 12-piece Small set is designed as an introduction to Trido. It teaches how the shapes connect and is a great way to try Trido before adding a larger set.

What can you build with 12 Trido pieces?
Kids can build small characters, birds, fish, creatures and abstract sculptures. The two magnetic eyes turn any build into a character.

What colours are in the Trido Flamingo set?
Flamingo features soft pink and deep raspberry shapes with two mint half-tetrahedrons, a bright, playful palette that looks lovely on display.

Can Trido sets be combined?
Yes. All Trido pieces use the same magnetic system, so you can combine the Flamingo set with other Trido colourways and sizes for bigger, more colourful builds.

Is the Trido Small set good for travel?
Yes. Its compact size makes it ideal for car trips, flights, restaurants and holidays, and the magnetic pieces stay together while kids play.

How are the magnets secured in Trido pieces?
Each piece is assembled using ultrasonic welding, which seals the magnets safely inside so they won’t come loose during normal play. The pieces are made from non-toxic ABS plastic with rounded edges.

Has Trido won any design awards?
Yes. Trido received a Red Dot design award in 2022.
