Platonic solids explained to a five year old

Platonic solids explained. How are they related? Why are they considered basic solids? And why are there only five? The video provides a complete STEM curriculum lesson on platonic solids and introduces the other chapters in the series covering the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, cube, and dodecahedron separately. Great information for artists, STEM teachers, art teachers, homeschooling parents, crafters, and all 3D pen enthusiasts.

Dang, glad I finally got around to watching this one. XD You're doing proofs now! Amazing!

This one was so much fun to make. And I thought it could be helpful to STEM teachers. 3d pens are just such perfect tools for explaining this.
