Keva Planks Exhibit Returns to Children’s Museum of Virginia September 11th

Sept. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- On Wednesday, September 11^th, The Children’s Museum of Virginia brings back its unique exhibit, KEVA Planks in their Changing Exhibits Gallery. Imagine thousands of perfectly cut, identical wooden construction blocks measuring ¼ inch thick, ¾ inch wide and 4 ½ inches long that can be stacked without using glue or connectors to build sculptures, towers, planes, furniture, bridges, buildings and just about anything you can think of!

The KEVA planks exhibit consists of fifty permanent models demonstrating the simple or complex possibilities of construction, instructions for projects and bins and bins of planks.  This building process promotes verbal skills, creative problem solving, mathematical understanding, 3-D visualization and just plain fun!  Plus, we are proud to say, these planks are made in Virginia.

Since the Children’s Museum owns this exhibit and it is not rented from another institution, the KEVA planks will make periodic returns to the Changing Exhibit Gallery to challenge the imagination and skill of our visitors – children and adults alike.
