I wrote this post 3 years ago, and still Keva planks continue to be the most played with, favorite toy at our house. My girls are now 13, 11 & 9 and are still enjoying Keva Planks, so I thought it was worth a repost!
If you are looking for something to buy your kids for Christmas that will keep them busy for hours AND stimulate creative thinking, then Keva planks may be your answer.
We LOVE playing with them in this house. We first discovered them at our local children’s museum, and I when I saw all 3 of my girls distracted and engaged in building fun for over an hour, I knew it was time to start saving for some of our own–which brings me to the only negative about Keva planks–the price. Believe me, they really are worth every penny, but it would not be an
inexpensive gift.
On to the positives…
*every piece is the same. They are about 1/4 inch thick, 3/4 inch wide and 41/2 inches long. Because they are all the same size and weight, the kids are able to go quite high with the structures they make.
*they are simple, simple, simple
*all ages engage, from toddler to adult.
*no plastic
*easy cleanup
*knocking them down is as fun as building them up!
