KAPLA Planks - Summer Box, 200 pcs

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

• Strengthens your child's fine motor skills.
• Benefits hand-eye coordination, which is engaged for example when we kick or catch the ball that comes flying towards us in PE class, or when we cut a precise line with a pair of scissors or need to pour a glass of water without spilling and making a mess.
• Motivates your child to concentrate.

Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 11 yrs.

Building and constructing is fun, a bit time consuming, and very educational. We can easily write a long book about how construction play develops your child's hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as well as understanding of geometry and interest in entrepreneurship.

With this type of play, your child also gets real hands-on experience with problem-solving when it comes to figuring out how to design the construction so it doesn't suddenly collapse. Your child's construction play with all sorts of building blocks, pieces, or magnets makes it fun for them to concentrate. And it's just such a confidence boost to construct a tall, tall tower or build the longest marble run ever, or to maybe make an amazing row of dominoes and film it as it topples.

Do you know KAPLA?

Kapla building blocks are both brilliant and simple at the same time. They are made of pine and are extremely easy to balance, stable, and durable - and their slightly rough texture makes them easy to build with. With Kapla blocks, you can build tall towers, spiral staircases, and lots of other cool things from 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 learns about cause and effect and how to (try to) cope 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 blocks need to be closer together - or maybe it needs to be in the bedroom instead of the living room, out of reach of siblings and other hazards.
