Bring Variety

Science and math behind iconic quantities can go deep enough to interest teens and adults. For example, natural minerals cannot form five-sided crystal prisms, but five is a very frequent quantity in the living nature. There is even a giraffe with five horns!

Animal legs come in pairs. Use them for an iconic collection about even numbers. Fairy tales usually have a lot of odd numbers, with three and seven most popular.

Numbers often have historical, cultural, or mythological significance. Looking for iconic quantities can lead to wild virtual journeys across continents and through time. Invite kids to meet the four sons of Horus in Egypt, the nine muses in Ancient Greece, or the 108 Hindu deities.
