I’m always on the lookout for unique toys that inspire imagination and yesterday I found it in Kapla.
I saw Kapla blocks on display at our local Mastermind store and was immediately intrigued by the structures you can build with it. I bought a pack of 200 on the spot and my boys spent the next five hours building with it. So it just made sense that I went back and bought them another pack so they could build even more, right?
There are no nails or glue, you simply build by stacking the blocks. But these aren’t your typical building blocks. Each block is the exact same size and because of their ratio (1:3:15) whatever you build is held in place by gravity and balance.
Check out the CN Tower my son made:
I don’t recommend anything unless I absolutely love it and with my boys currently upstairs creating, building, sharing, and (shhhh) learning, I can say I absolutely love Kapla.
I bought a set of 200 Kapla blocks for $59.95 and went back the next day to purchase another set of 280 for $99.95 (this set also came with a nice wooden carrying case and a book of Kapla designs). You can find even more amazing designs at the Kapla website.
