Kapla 200 Piece Wooden Building Set Reviews

• Wonderful toy--well worth the money

  We just discovered Kapla at a science museum, and will now be getting some of our own. At the museum, I noticed people of all ages were drawn to these toys. Even young toddlers were making little stacks, my 6-year-old attempted some castles, a gaggle of preteens was challenging each other to build the tallest tower (and then knock it down, of course!), and even the grown-ups were having fun. At first, I just sat and watched, but soon my hands were playing with the blocks, too, and in no time I was building my own creations. My daughter and I could have probably played for hours. It's hard to find a toy that will interest kids of all ages, but Kapla certainly does. And it's a plus for me that they're not plastic and ugly, so I won't mind too much having them stacked around the house.
  
  

• THE best, longest lasting 'toy' you'll find......

  We learned about these blocks years ago when my now 13 year old was in pre-school. I was amazed at how these seemingly simple pieces of wood, so totally enraptured these little kids!
  Kapla, are 'blocks' that are all exactly the same size. At first glance, they seem boring. But once you start playing with them, they are so much more. They can be made into all kinds of structures, and can even be raised higher than one can reach, without falling!!
  When our 'surprise blessing' turned 2, I pulled them out for him. He enjoyed them (though at 3 he likes them much more), but what surprised me is that my older two (15 and 13) love playing with them as well!! In fact, we ALL do!!
  I know it seems like a lot of money to spend on these, but they are MORE than worth it!!
  
  

• Creative Building Blocks with ENDLESS Possiblities

  I love the blocks as much as my 4 year old son and my 14 year old nephew. We visited the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, NC this past year and discovered these blocks. We would spend hours creating items there. My son received a set for Christmas this year (2005) and we can not stop playing with them. I will probably end up purchasing a 1000 box set for our home. These blocks are worth every penny. Children will enjoy YEARS of play and families can enjoy QUALITY TIME together. I even enjoy playing with them for hours.
  
  

• Kapla Blocks are the Best!!

  I can't say enough about Kapla blocks. My kids have played with all the usual building toys such as tinker toys, legos, etc. I started out with the 200 piece set. Every block is perfectly balanced so kids can make great structures from a very young age. My kids have had there blocks for probably about 10 years now and we keep adding to the set. They love building with them and have made some really amazing things. These blocks are something that could definitely be passed from one generation to the next. They may look like they are plain and wouldn't be much fun but just wait until your kids start playing with them and see what they can make. Then they will be hooked!!

• My daughter's most used toy
  By AABU74V9DOL8C on 2007-12-03
  I got these for my daughter when she was about 4. She's 7 1/2 now, and these blocks have been almost continuously used since we bought them. They are well-made and versatile...and admittedly fun for adults to play with too!
  
  They are "architectures blocks"...I guess meaning they are balanced and weighted well. You can make some very finely balanced and creative structures with these. (As well as elaborate mansions for My Little Ponies!)
  
  Definitely worth the money.
  
  I wish Kapla would come out with some add-on kits though!
  
  
• Great toy
  By A1XVGE0RJM317S on 2008-01-01
  I bought this for our 5-year-old grandson for his birthday, and it is one of his favorite toys ever. It encourages creativity and imaginative play, and I can see that he'll enjoy it for many years. It seemed pricey, but is definitely worth it--deceptively simple. I wish there were more depictions of projects included.
  
  
• Amazing blocks

  These blocks were recommended by a friend and said they were perfect for all ages. As simple as these blocks are, they are amazing. The types of structures you can build are incredible. Because the blocks are so thin, you can make bridges and towers that seem to defy gravity. Fun for kids and adults alike.

  I think a review by someone under 13 would be more to the point! I gave these to my 6 year old grandaughter who learned of them at school. Kids can be very creative in building elaborate structures with them

  This is a great product. Our kids (girl 7 and boy 9) have played with them at a local discovery museum, and spent a lot of time doing crazy constructions. Teenagers and toddlers were playing too, all of them so focused on their creations (no time and energy wasted looking for the right piece - this is such a great concept: all the pieces are the same)! We got the 200 pieces set, and that seems to be just enough for now...
  They also last and don't go out of style : my niece is playing with the set that belonged to her mom!
