Daffodil sketching
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;

kapla
KAPLA was invented in 1987 by Tom van der Bruggen. KAPLA is an abbreviation of “Kabouter Plankjes” which means gnome planks in Dutch. As an artist, he could never find the wooden blocks he needed to make the constructions he wanted to make, so he invented these planks in a 1:3:5 ratio. Three thicknesses for one width and five widths for one length. With these identical planks the builder can construct with the precision of artwork and the stability of stones. We are enjoying using them in our classroom.
