With the 1000 piece box from Kapla is provided for unlimited fun. Kapla trains logical thinking, promotes creativity and increases concentration as well as patience and perseverance and we therefore used in many nurseries and schools as an educational educational tool. The fascinating world of Kapla consists solely of the always exactly same size Kapla building blocks with one size. But it will certainly not be monotonous with these building blocks. Anyone who has started to deal with Kapla building blocks will not get rid of it so quickly. The ingenious shaping is based on the three-dimensional golden section one - three - five - fifteen, that is, three times the thickness corresponds to the width, five times the width corresponds to the length and fifteen times the thickness in turn results in the length. Thanks to this design, which the Kapla founder Tom van der Bruggen invented, impressive buildings, animals and shapes can be put together. The game introduces the child to the areas of geometry, physics, technology and mathematics and at the same time Kapla sensitizes the foresight to shapes and volume, as well as art and plastic performance. Kapla is a limitless game and offers opportunities and challenges for all ages. Older children create more complex structures that require a greater vision in thinking as well as in manual skill. Box of 1000 Kapla building blocks packed in a storage box with wheels. Delivery includes instructions (English language not guaranteed). Promotes logical thinking increases concentration and patience. Warning: not suitable for children under 36 months Review: Hours of fun - We found the keva blocks at a children’s museum we are members at, and my kids flock to them at every trip. We decided to go with this brand instead, and we’re a bit hesitant. These are so fun, splinter free, and great quality! I love them just as much as the kids if I am being honest. Highly recommend for kids, Montessori settings, and any age group. Review: I love Kapla - I bought this as a christmas present for my nephew. I don't know if I should call this a toy or lego, but he simply loves it. It inspires creativity and can engage a few kids at a time. If you can afford the bog set, it is worth it. Otherwise, try getting smaller sets. ## Features - 100% wood - 1000 identical, precision-cut wooden planks encourage balance-based play; build without glue, screws, or connectors. - STEM & Montessori learning—supports spatial reasoning, creativity, concentration, and early engineering skills. - Crafted from premium French pine; smooth, natural, eco-friendly wood ideal for kids, classrooms & studios. - Endless creation potential—from towers and bridges to sculptures and architectural masterpieces. - Wooden storage case included; perfect for families, schools, makerspaces, architects & gift giving. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000I0RWDK | | Additional Features | Easy Storage | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #215,359 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #6,488 in Toy Building Sets | | Brand Name | KAPLA | | Color | Brown | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 472 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Creativity, Imagination, Logical Thinking, Motor Skills | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00814647006000 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 16 x 16 x 16 inches | | Item Type Name | Kapla Wooden box, 1000 pieces, original wooden building blocks | | Item Weight | 18 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | KAPLA | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1188.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 36.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | PC | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | wooden construction set | | Model Number | PC | | Model Year | 1992 | | Number of Pieces | 1000 | | Number of Players | 1+ | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | Manual | | Set Name | KAPLA | | Size | klein | | Sub Brand | KAPLA | | Subject Character | STEM construction, wooden building toys, creative play | | Supported Battery Types | No battery required | | Target Audience | Boys, Girls | | Theme | Architecture | | Toy Building Block Type | Stacking Toy Building Block | | UPC | 814647006000 | | Unit Count | 35.274 Ounce | ## Images ![- Wooden Construction Set - 1000 Building Planks in a Chest - for Ages 3+ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ItAlpv8BL.jpg) ![- Wooden Construction Set - 1000 Building Planks in a Chest - for Ages 3+ - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710wk3Yrz+L.jpg) ![- Wooden Construction Set - 1000 Building Planks in a Chest - for Ages 3+ - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mvg-7hjnL.jpg) ![- Wooden Construction Set - 1000 Building Planks in a Chest - for Ages 3+ - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vn-NCyloL.jpg) ![- Wooden Construction Set - 1000 Building Planks in a Chest - for Ages 3+ - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mc4am-krL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you fit extra blocks in the box? We have 800 now and I'd like to get them all in one container** A: Oddly the other answers to this question are incorrect. The size of a single block is 11.7 x 2.34 x .78 cm That is 1.303 cubic inches per block. 1303 cubic inches for 1000. 0.75 cubic feet. The box inner dimensions ( I just measured it as I have one ) are 14" x 14" x 14". That is 1.59 cubic feet. Laying the blocks inside perfectly you can fit nearly double the amount of blocks. To give a more accurate estimate, within the box you can lay a 3x3 pattern of 5 blocks per layer flat. That is 45 blocks per layer. The blocks are .307 inches thick. At 14 inches tall you can fit 45 layers. 45x45 = 2025. You can fit 2000 blocks in one of these containers. If you just throw 1000 blocks in and shuffle it a bunch, only 1000 fit. **Q: How do these compare to the Keva pine blocks in terms of size and durability?** A: Thank you for asking. KAPLA and KEVA blocks are identical in size. KAPLA is made from Marine Pine via the South of France. This pine will never warp or move. It is very light weight. Each of the KAPLA blocks are identical in weight as well. The KEVA is made from maple and made in the United States. KAPLA has been around since 1987. We do know that customers have passed their blocks down to Grandchildren so they do stand the test of time. We hope this helps. Please feel free to follow ups with questions. We are offering free shipping on our website in light of the approaching holiday season. **Q: Can you do contraptions with these planks?** A: Yes! It is possible to make all sorts of contraptions with KAPLA. What makes KAPLA special is the material and the size of the planks. KAPLA is made of a French pine wood that has a certain amount of resin in it. When you are building, there is friction between the pieces and this is what allows you to build incredible and unbelievable structures. Simple or more complex! The unique ratio of KAPLA planks makes them fun and easy to use! KAPLA was invented by Mr. Tom van der Bruggen in 1987 in order to build a scale model of a castle that he continued to actually build in the south of France! Build towers, mazes, marble runs, "falling" structures, and anything that you can imagine with KAPLA! **Q: Does the box have actual wheels underneath?** A: The product comes with the wheels inside of the box and they are easy (and optional) to attach! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hours of fun *by A***R on January 22, 2022* We found the keva blocks at a children’s museum we are members at, and my kids flock to them at every trip. We decided to go with this brand instead, and we’re a bit hesitant. These are so fun, splinter free, and great quality! I love them just as much as the kids if I am being honest. Highly recommend for kids, Montessori settings, and any age group. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love Kapla *by A***A on April 6, 2014* I bought this as a christmas present for my nephew. I don't know if I should call this a toy or lego, but he simply loves it. It inspires creativity and can engage a few kids at a time. If you can afford the bog set, it is worth it. Otherwise, try getting smaller sets. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have to balance out the effect of video brain *by I***G on November 25, 2013* This is such a great non-video based product. It's great for a wide age spectrum, and you can just see the difference in the cognitive processing when the kids are playing with these blocks compared to playing video games. It's something that they can do almost anytime with out objection from the parents, compared to video games - which seem to cause such a disruption in the way the kids brains work. The blocks are numerous and precisely cut so that you can really build some version of anything you can think of. I think they are a must have for any house with kids up to 15 or so. I really don't' think there's a high end of the age group though. The large wooden storage box is great to store the blocks in, and is fairly easy to roll around. It is heavy though and can be difficult for the kids to pull over the edge of a rug. It's easy to say that the kids almost never get in trouble from playing with these, as opposed to from playing or having to stop playing, video games. ## Frequently Bought Together - KAPLA Wooden Construction Set - 1000 Building Planks in a Chest - for Ages 3+ - KAPLA Art Book 1 Red - Beginner Ideas - KAPLA Art Book 2- Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/5583218-wooden-construction-set-1000-building-planks-in-a-chest-ages](https://www.desertcart.us/products/5583218-wooden-construction-set-1000-building-planks-in-a-chest-ages) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
