    Why did you choose this?

    I needed more for my STEM classroom.

    Christmas for my son

    My niece asked for Keva planks for Christmas. I like that these have a puzzle aspect to them and there are also enough of them to build things if you don't want to play the puzzle game.

    To let my kids use for STEM learning while I read aloud during homeschool.
