KEVA Structures 200 Wood Building Planks Set - Building Toy Includes 200 Wooden Blocks and Idea Book - Ages 5 and Up

Good quality

These are light, perfectly cut (smooth sides, no splinters) wood blocks. They are very versatile and tons of fun to play with. The box comes with an illustrated booklet with building ideas for inspiration. The only problem with these is that my kid now wants another box!

They were a Little more flat than I expected but I got a larger box. My nephew has been busy for hours. I will definitely be buying more to make a bigger city! Lol

This is the 3rd box of the Keva planks I have purchased. I originally purchased one box after my grandkids played with these planks at a local museum. I have grandkids ranging from age 3-15 and ALL of them grab these planks as the first toy to play with when they visit. With 3 kids visiting at once, I just purchased my second set because there simply weren't enough planks for the creative minds to create beautiful structures. (and not steal planks from a sibling!) What I like is that there is a never-ending limit to what they can come up with - both in height and sprawling structures. I also just purchased a box for a 5-year olds birthday to have at their house (it was their favorite gift).

Bought these for my 6 year old nephew and he loves them!

Lots of ways to teach and entertain

Simple concept and was super for open ended play. This was great for creating small projects and later I combined it this kit with other ones purchased to build really large scale challenges. My students built towers that went almost to the ceiling. Good for elementary grades 2-5.

I gave this to my 7-1/2 year old son for Christmas, three weeks ago, and he and I have played with it every single day since then. So far, we've only built bridges, but what a variety -- we've created cantilever, beam, arch (sort of), double-decker, and pontoon bridges. We've experimented with variations in total length, length of a single span (the part of the bridge between the support piers), and vertical clearance (the height from the floor to the bottom of the span). Each time, when we're done, we subject our spans to the loading test (placing a medium-weight stuffed animal on it) to see how it fares. And if that doesn't destroy them . . . well, dropping "bombs" from up high will eventually do the trick! (The blocks make a great "crashing" sound on the hard-wood floor where we do our construction.) All the while that we're having fun, my son is also learning about the principles of bridge-building and other aspects of architecture and design. Plus, he gains the satisfaction of being able to independently create something, construct it, and see it through to a successful completion. And to top it off, it's wonderful for the two of us to share in all the fun together. This is a great toy: no batteries, no complicated instructions, no searching for just the right pieces, no mindless staring at a screen, no messy glue or paint . . . just loads of good old-fashioned fun.
