Our Incredible Building Blocks Kapla Blocks provide a unique building experience for children as little as 3 years old to those that have matured to 103 years of age. You can just toss them out on the floor or on a coffee table and watch the hands begin to create. Kapla Blocks are intended to be stacked and remain in place thanks to gravity. They do not have snaps or interlocking parts and are not meant to be used with glue. The blocks are precision cut to a single size and shape, which assists in the stability of larger constructions. Each block is a cuboid in the ratio 1:3:15. The length of the longest side is 12 centimeters (4¾ inches). The blocks are certified green from renewable forests of Marine pine near the Bordeaux region of France. The blocks are not varnished or treated. Colored blocks are stained with non-toxic water based paints of six different hues. In French schools and kindergartens the blocks are used as educational toys.
Kapla Block Origin: The idea behind Kapla developed around 1988, when art historian and antique dealer Tom van der Bruggen moved to France in search of an old castle to restore. During renovation, Vanderbruggen was inspired by the original wooden beam design of his old farmhouse and used small planks to fashion a scale model of the castle of his dreams. Those small beam planks became the game KAPLA. The name Kapla comes from the Dutch term for "gnome planks", Kabouter Plankjes. What can be created is only up to your imagination, so allow the wheels to churn and begin to build build build!
