KAPLA Wooden Building Planks

Born in Holland, Tom van der Bruggen is the creator of KAPLA. Van der Bruggen invented a plank based on the progressions of the uneven numbers 1:3:5. 3 thickness for one width and five widths for one length. This ratio now opens the door to creative building. With these identically cut planks the builder can construct with the precision and stability. Tom van der Bruggen named his planks KAPLA. This is an abbreviation of “Kabouter Plankjes” which means gnome planks in Dutch. With the KAPLA planks kids as well as adults can now build and create all kinds of different architectural constructions, animals, extraordinary creations.
