See Larger Image Kapla 200 Blocks Set from: Kapla List Price: $70.00 Amazon.com's Price: $60.00 You Save: $10.00 (14%) Prices subject to change. Editorial Review: Product Description: Stimulate creativity and imagination with 200 smooth-sanded pine building planks. No need for glue and not a single nail, screw or snap. Kapla Stacks are not interlocking. Each Kapla plank is simply placed one on top of the other and thus held in place by gravity and balance alone. The flat shape and light weight wood enhances confidence and curiosity and determination. Part of the delight is removing one plank at a time until the whole lot comes crashing to the floor. An instruction booklet describing techniques and models is included in every box. Great for individual or group games and projects.

See Larger Image KEVA Planks 100 Piece Construction Set from: KEVA Editorial Review: Product Description: Every piece is the same. They are about 1/4 inch thick, 3/4 inch wide and 4 1/2 inches long. You build structures by simply stacking the planks. No glue, no connectors. They can be stacked upright which looks like it would be unstable as a house of cards, but even this type of structure is surprisingly stable. The simplicity is compelling. Just as it is hard to explain why something is funny, it is hard to explain why most people- both children and adults- really become captivated by KEVA Planks. It has the broadest age range appeal of any toy we have ever seen. From preschoolers to architects, each person builds at his own skill level. The maple is quite attractive just because it is maple. We happen to have a particular fondness for the natural beauty of wood and the unique grain of each piece of wood. If fact, there is a little social lesson here... Most sets contain several planks that are colored differently than most or have a unique grain pattern. Those pieces are often sought for the crowning spire on the tower special places of honor. They are remembered and treasured because of their uniqueness. So the moral of the story is... ...very good.
