3D Shapes

As part of our Maths work on Geometry, we have been learning about 3D shapes.  A 3D shape has height, width and depth.
We made these 3D shapes using dried peas and toothpicks.  First the peas need to be soaked over night so that they swell and then you can put toothpicks in them.
The peas are the vertices (corners), the toothpicks are the edges.  The faces are invisible but you can see where they would be.  Can you tell what shapes we made?
