While restoring an old chateau in France, art historian and antique dealer Tom van der Bruggen was inspired by the original wooden beam design of the area, and used small planks to fashion the model castle of his dreams. Van der Bruggen’s creation, KAPLA, from the Dutch “kabouter plankjes,” meaning "small planks, ” remains wildly popular in Europe and in the design world. A huge Eiffel Tower made of thousands of Kapla planks is exhibited in the new Cité de l'Architecture in Paris. Kapla has also shown at the Louvre and at the Children's Museum of Manhattan.
This popular 200 Piece White Wooden Building Set enables hours of construction, learning and fun. Create castles, creatures, landscapes and cityscapes using just your imagination and gravity. There is not a single snap, screw or interlocking part. Kapla is lightweight and suitable for young builders and older experts. Includes an illustrated instruction manual with basic building techniques and packaged in an attractive box for easy storage. For extra fun, choose from the optional 40 piece building block sets.
