My Project

I am requesting several different sets of KEVA planks for my PreK-5th grade library. I am creating a "maker zone" in the library where students can engage in quick, simple maker projects and challenges and KEVA planks check all of the boxes.

The Brain Builder sets provide excellent challenges and ideas for all students and they can be completed in a short amount of time.

I can have PreK students access the easier challenges, while 5th graders can engage with the more difficult ones.

The additional sets of KEVA planks will be used for larger scale creations and building projects. All of the materials are the same--just simple wooden blocks that stack beautifully. KEVA planks don't run out or break, which means they can be used for years and years to come. I am also asking for some simple storage bins that they can be kept in while not in use.
