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!

I just feel that watching your videos somehow makes me more intelligent...😅

I’m trying to figure out why the Rhombic dodecahedron transforms into the cube but is not part of the Platonic solids.
