KAPLA is a construction game made of precision-cut wooden planks, which relies on its singular plank and gravity alone, making it a perfect fit for anyone 2 years and older.
Its name stands for “KAbouter PLAnkjes,” which means “Gnome Planks” in Dutch. Invented in 1987 by Tom van der Bruggen during its stay in France, KAPLA has since become a beloved tool for creativity and imagination across the world.
Kapla stimulates a variety of skills, making it a great tool for both learning and entertainment:
Fine Motor Skills: Handling the planks improves hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
STEM Learning: Experimenting with balance, gravity, and geometry develops critical thinking.
Artistic Expression: KAPLA is not just a toy; it’s a medium for artistic exploration, allowing people to build creative sculptures.
A single plank weighs approximately 11 grams.
Kapla is often used in STEM education programs.
Builders have used over 40,000 planks to create record-breaking structures!
