Think Outside the Blocks

I'm loving these Kapla Blocks, an open-ended, totally unique blocks set for kids and adults. “Kapla” is short for the phrase “Kabouter Plankjes,” which means “pixie planks” in Dutch, and that’s exactly what you get with each set of Kapla Blocks. Made from renewable forests in France, Kapla Blocks are non-toxic, free of magnets, with no little screws or tiny extra pieces to worry you. They come in seven different colors, and include directions and lesson plans based on a child’s building abilities. You can also download different projects as your kids get more advanced (or, as you get more and more hooked!)
