Kapla on Treehugger's House & Garden Blog






Kapla building blocks were featured recently on the Treehugger blog at House & Garden.com in a section on "green" kids stuff.

And if you don't know Treehugger's other site, check it out. It's got tons of content on how to live well AND do right by Mother Nature, with sections on design, travel, transportation, technology, architecture and more.

Kapla is proud of our environmental commitment. All wood used to make our building blocks comes from sustainably managed forests. And all our lumber comes from otherwise unusable pieces bound for a landfill.

Kapla is a toy parents can feel good about, not just for its capacity to encourage big imagination, but for the small environmental footprint it leaves behind.

As Treehugger says, "the future is green." Kapla is proud to do our part, and we love to acknowledge other organizations who share our values.

McCann-Erickson Building Made of Kapla



We were commissioned recently to build a model of the McCann-Erickson Building from Kapla building blocks. Our expert builders traveled to New York City recently to design and build the model, seen above, which received rave reviews from the entire McCann-Erickson family.
