Kapla Blocks, aka Daddy’s Favorite Toy

September 5, 2008

I just had cof­fee with a friend who is already shop­ping for Christmas. Since folks are shop­ping already I thought I’d toss out one of our favorite toys.

We dis­cov­ered Kapla blocks at a sci­ence museum for kids on the west coast. My hus­band and son were imme­di­ately drawn to them, so we bought two large boxes and rolled them out on a three gen­er­a­tion fam­ily vaca­tion where folks of all ages joined in the fun.

It has been three years and we still play with Kapla blocks. We use them to make tall tow­ers, drum sticks, zoo enclo­sures and even line them up on win­dow ledges just because we can. If you are look­ing for an open-ended toy that appeals to a broad age range and doesn’t come with small parts or BPA, you might want to add them to your list.
