KAPLA Planks - Autumn Box, 200 pcs

The activity is wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Here, your child's fine motor skills really come into play.
• Benefits hand-eye coordination, which you use for instance when catching or kicking the ball that comes flying at you in PE class, or when cutting a straight line with scissors.
• Develops and improves your child's ability to concentrate.

Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 11 yrs.

Building and construction play is educational, fun, and also time consuming. We won't get into a long piece about how this type of play benefits your child's creativity, hand-eye coordination, and fine motor skills as well as their interest in entrepreneurship and understanding of geometry.

With construction play, your child also gets real-life experience with problem-solving when it comes to figuring out how to assemble the construction so it doesn't fall over. Your child's construction play with all sorts of building blocks, pieces, or magnets develops their imagination and patience. Also, it's so cool and satisfying to build the longest marble run ever or construct a skyscraper higher than yourself, or to make an amazing domino field and film it when it topples.

Do you know KAPLA?

Kapla makes building blocks made of pine that are very easy to stack and balance. At the same time, they are very stable and durable. You can build surprisingly large structures with Kapla blocks. On social media, you can find huge, patience-demanding constructions of the Eiffel Tower or Tower Bridge, made only from Kapla wooden blocks.

Your child gets hands-on experience with cause and effect and how to cope with defeat (or at least try to), if (or when) their awesome structure collapses along the way. It's super frustrating, but it also motivates your child to come up with solutions. Perhaps the construction needs to be tighter - or maybe it needs to be in the bedroom instead of the living room, out of reach of siblings and other hazards.
