kapla.
what is kapla you ask? well my friend, you have come to the right place...let me tell you...kapla are wooden building blocks from france.
yep.
what makes them different from other building blocks?
why it is their unique shape and size and the fact that they don't snap or lock together.
whoa whoa, slow down you say.
okay.
in your mind picture a stick of gum. juicy fruit, big red, doublemint etc...(not that bubbalicious kind).
got it? now stack 3 pieces on top of each other.
good.
now make it a little bigger. little more...okay stop. right there. turn it into wood.
pine. french pine.
that's it. if your piece of wood measures 4 5/8 inches by 15/16ths by 5/16ths then you've got it!
well, close enough.
anyway, that's kapla. each piece is EXACTLY the same. there's other technical stuff that i could get into, but lets leave that for later...
instead lets talk about what you can build with kapla...
well...
how about...cars, boats, flowers, dragons, mountains, spirals, towers, trains, airplanes, giraffes, snakes, octopi, turkeys, turtles, dogs, cats, Eiffel towers, trees, birds, rivers, trucks, whales, bridges, houses, castles, lions and tigers and bears and mazes, villages, aqueducts, roads, forts, the great wall of china, pyramids, furniture, doll houses, snowmen, princesses, kings and queens, optical illusions, monuments, rockets, cities, baskets, butterflies, snails, spiders, games, spaceships, planets, pineapples, forests, fields, huts and dogs, did i say dogs?
well you get the idea.
point is- you can build anything. all it takes is a little imagination. so go ahead. build. play. create. welcome to the world of kapla....
