KEVA Planks: History and Key Facts

KEVA Planks are cuboid wooden block toys. Each block is sized 5⁄16 by 7⁄8 by 4+5⁄8 inches (7.9 mm × 22.2 mm × 117.5 mm). The blocks are available for sale in maple, that is produced in the United States, and less expensive imported pine versions.

Originating as a straightforward construction set, KEVA Planks are distinct in their design: they consist of a single shape without any connectors or glue, unlike many other building sets that rely on specific instructions and sorting. Over time, KEVA Planks have evolved into an educational tool widely employed in classrooms.

A number of museums have KEVA exhibits for hands on experience with design and construction including:
