KAPLA Planks - Blue/Red/Pink, 120 pcs

This activity strengthens essential skills which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• Here, your child can work on strengthening their fine motor skills.
• Stimulates hand-eye coordination, which you make use of e.g. when kicking or catching a ball that comes flying towards you in PE class, or when cutting an accurate line with a pair of scissors.
• Improves and develops your child's concentration.

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 11 yrs.

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

With construction play, your child also gets real hands-on experience with solving problems when they need to figure out how to set up the construction so it doesn't fall over. Your child's construction play with all sorts of magnets, building blocks, or pieces makes it fun for them to concentrate. Also, it's such a confidence boost to construct a tall, tall tower or build the world's longest marble run, or to maybe create an impressive domino track and film it as it topples.

Do you know KAPLA?

Kapla designs building blocks made of pine that are easy to stack and balance. At the same time, they are extremely stable and durable. Use the Kapla blocks to build tall towers, spiral staircases, and lots of other cool things from your imagination. Or you can set them up like dominoes in a neat pattern - push the first block over and watch the whole thing fall in a delightful, satisfying topple.

Your child will learn about cause and effect and how to deal with disappointment, if (or when) their awesome structure suddenly topples over. It's such a bummer, but it can also teach your child to be solution-oriented. Perhaps the structure needs to be tighter - or maybe it needs to be built on the dining table instead of the floor, away from wagging dog tails.
