KEVA Planks
Recommended for Grades 1-2, 3-5
“I sat at the little Kindergarten tabletop… and played with the cube, the sphere, and the triangle …I soon became susceptible to constructive patterns evolving in everything I saw. I learned to ‘see’ and when I did, I did not care to draw casual incidentals of nature. I wanted to design”
—Frank Lloyd Wright (1957)
