I have some that were made apparently to Vygotsky's measurements.

BIK are all 20mm high.
  circle 55 mm diameter, blue
semi-circle 68 mm diameter yellow
Cube 40m high and 38 mm sides green
trapezium is 38 x26x38x46 1 red and i green
All the sides of the triangular oneare 49mm white

CEV 20 mm high
Triangle - 38x 39 x40, i yellow and one blue
semicircle 40 mm diametergreen
  trapezium is 26x18x26x35 red
hexagon 15 mm sides white
  Circular shape has a 36 mm diameter yellow

MUR _30 mm height
Hexagon - 14mm side white
Square 24 mm side yellow
Circle 27 mm diameter one blue one white
triangle 31x33x29 red

LAG 39 mm high
Square 38 mm side one blue one red
Circle 52 mm diameter red
triangle 49 mm green
Trapezium 40 x 30 x 40 x 48 yellow

The technology department made them for me. They are brilliant
teaching aids. Observing students decipher categories through
egocentric speech and discussion provide endless material!

Hope this works for you
