Kapla Planks, a Unique New Wooden Toy from France, Now Available in the USA
Kapla Planks provide great block building fun for both kids doing simple projects and adults doing complex engineering projects. Made from renewable forests of Marine Pine from France, Kapla is green -- all green.
Savannah, GA (PRWEB) June 4, 2007 -- Kapla Toys, a unique new wooden toy from France for block building projects, is now available in the USA. Kapla Blocks are an exciting, simple-to-use toy for ages 3 and up without the need for glue, fasteners, interlocking parts or pieces. The result is amazing in its "complex simplicity." Using a lightweight wooden plank design, kids with small hands and bigger kids with bigger hands become successful builders through creativity and imagination.
In the classroom, Kapla building can be totally open-ended or fit to lesson plans tailored to a teacher's curricular needs, whether in math, science, history, art or even reading. Block building has been documented as instrumental in cognitive development and literacy.
Kapla building planks are available in attractive gift boxes and make a kid-friendly, parent-friendly and earth-friendly gift for hours of endless building possibilities.
According to Stefanie, a Kapla customer, "Kapla is the most wonderful thing that has happened to my son, and I greatly appreciate the way Kapla supports our kids' education. It demands creativity and math, science and sometimes team effort."
With its distinctive shape and proportions, Kapla, meaning "pixie planks," allows building play, pleasure and learning fun for preschool age to teenage to college age architectural students -- as well as adult seminars and team projects. Kapla has recently participated in a two-day special building event at the KIPP flagship elementary schools in Houston and will continue to partner with KIPP in this extraordinary program. Winner of several prestigious toy awards, Kapla will also participate in The ART of PLAY summer long special play event organized by the City of Chicago.
Kapla is newly represented by Kapla USA out of Savannah, Georgia.
