KAPLA: an educational tool supporting learning
More than a construction game, KAPLA is an educational resource that helps support pupils in their learning.
Using a single wooden plank and the principles of balance, pupils observe, handle and experiment. This approach encourages active learning by engaging motor skills, thinking and imagination.
Using KAPLA in the classroom contributes to the development of motor, cognitive and social skills, while placing activities within a playful and hands-on approach.
“By building, we build ourselves.”
Tom van der Bruggen, founder of KAPLA

The pride of exceeding your own expectations

Developing fundamental skills through hands-on activity
KAPLA planks, made from Landes pine, make it possible to create educational activities that support a wide range of learning.
Developing fine motor skills and concentration
Handling the planks, positioning them precisely and stabilising a structure requires coordination, precision and attention.
Stimulating creativity and imagination
Starting from a simple element, exploring varied construction possibilities and developing creative expression and inventiveness.
Encouraging perseverance and self-confidence
Experimenting, adjusting and trying again to achieve a stable construction helps to value effort, trial and gradual success.
Promoting cooperation and living together
Creating group constructions and organising teamwork helps develop cooperation, mutual support and respect for shared rules.
A teaching resource for multiple areas of learning
Using KAPLA in the classroom makes it possible to explore different areas of the curriculum.
Mathematics:
Working on activities involving:
- - geometry and shapes
- - proportions and structures
- - symmetry
- - algorithms
- - counting
- - spatial awareness
These hands-on activities make it easier to understand abstract concepts.
Oral expression
Describing a construction, explaining a process or telling a story based on a creation helps enrich vocabulary and develop speaking skills.
Visual arts and creativity
Imagining free or guided constructions based on a theme and creating collective works contributes to the development of artistic sensitivity and creativity.
