## Description

desertcart.com: KEVA Contraptions 50 Plank Set : Toys & Games

Review: Surprising value for being...planks of wood - I was surprised, even after reading all the reviews, when I opened the box & found nothing but a slim booklet, 2 ping-pong balls & a pile of tiny planks of wood. I spent just under $30 for 50 tiny planks of wood??? I was disappointed. BUT, after experimenting w/ them my six year old, I can see past the simplicity—the value comes in watching what she does with them. Nothing could be more open ended than a pile of wood—the booklet got us started, but we felt free to go wherever we wanted from there. There’s nothing but gravity to make them stick together, so dexterity, patience, & logic were all required. Every time our structures fell over, which was frequent, we’d laugh & say “We must rebuild!” and start over. I was really impressed with her resilience. I do think $30 is a lot of money for something so simple, even with the pieces being so stackable, AND all the other reviews are 100% correct—50 planks is just enough to start your addiction, not nearly enough to do much of anything with. Especially if you have more than one child. Do yourself a favor & just spring for the 200. That said I really do recommend this as a great toy & think it would span a great range of ages. My six year old still needs my help for the moment, but probably won’t for too much longer.
Review: Budding Scientist, Engineer, Architect? This is the toy! - This toy has challenge, cooperative play, and endless variation. It is perfect for parents and kids alike who like to build, or just want to see "what if I do this? What happens to that?" There is challenge in following the instructions to build different projects, and the beauty is it's all done using only gravity to hold the planks together. This set goes well with the CityBlocks sets. The planks are similar in size and function and add enormous possibility for expansion. In addition to all of this, there are videos in the product description for this and CitiBlocks sets. There are also YouTube videos as well. Interactive and imaginative play are the order of the day with this set.

## Features

- WELL DESIGNED CONTRAPTIONS: Unlike other Rube-Goldberg type toy contraptions, our KEVA Playset employs snugly, fitting non-warped pieces that don't have breaks or skips, meaning the ball will never move unpredictably or careen off.
- INTERCHANGEABLE: These planks are the same size and shape of other Kapla or KEVA planks and thus can be used interchangeably with those systems to construct elaborate and expansive structures.
- TOYS THAT TEACH: Our KEVA Contraptions are fantastic toys for teaching children to embrace their creativity and design engineering marvels. With 50 identical wooden planks crafted to be used as scaffolding, ramps, paths, and much more, this toy is perfect for any child looking to build and learn problem solving with basic physics. Who knows, in time you might have an architect on your hands!
- NO HASSLE: With no glue or connectors needed, our KEVA Contraptions set is ready to play right out of the box. Forget the hassle of having to round up a laundry list of non-included tools. Simply unpack and build!
- INCLUDES: Package includes 50 identical wooden planks, 2 balls, and 1 idea book with project photos and quick start instructions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fun building
*by K***P on January 10, 2012*

I was hesitant to buy this for my 7 year old son for Christmas because he's used to K'Nex & Legos, stuff that "clicks" together and stays. I have been VERY pleasantly surprised with this toy. He absolutely LOVES it and can sit and play with it for hours. He gets frustrated if he accidentally knocks it over, but then goes back and builds it all over again. We ended up buying this along with the 200 piece set, which I recommend if you think your child might like it as the 50 piece really isn't that many pieces by itself. Great toy, I highly recommend it if your child likes to build!
