KEVA Planks are cuboid wooden block toys. Each block is sized approximately 1⁄4 by 3⁄4 by 4+1⁄2 inches (6.4 mm × 19.1 mm × 114.3 mm). The blocks are available for sale in maple, that is produced in the United States, and less expensive imported pine versions.[1]
KEVA Planks started out as a simple construction set. They are unusual for comprising a single shape and no connectors or glue, in contrast to other building sets that often have specific instructions and require sorting. It has developed into a teaching tool used in classrooms.
A number of museums have KEVA exhibits for hands on experience with design and construction including:
Da Vinci Science Center of Allentown, PA[2]
Exploration Place of The Sedgwick County Science and Discovery Center of Wichita, Kansas[3]
Fleet Science Center in San Diego, CA[4]
Kalamazoo Air Zoo of Kalamazoo, MI[5]
Lawrence Hall of Science at University of California, Berkeley, CA[6]
Rochester Museum and Science Center in Rochester, NY[7]
Science World (Vancouver) in Vancouver, BC[8]
Kaleideum of Winston-Salem, NC[9]
Discovery Park of America in Union City, TN[10]
The tallest tower built with KEVA planks was 51 feet, 8 inches constructed at the National Building Museum in 2006.[11]
KEVA planks is a privately owned company located in Virginia. Mindware, a division of Oriental Trading subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, is the exclusive licensee of many KEVA Planks products.[12]
