I have a million things in my to-write-about queue, but it is bed time, so something short!
I took our LaQ set to the coffee shop with us Saturday, and I realized, that it is really a sort of 3D pattern block. Equilateral triangles, squares, 120deg and 90deg and flat connectors, gets you an interesting number of tessellations of space.
We discovered them in Japan Town, but couldn’t stomach the mark-up and bought them on Amazon. Thinking about how to connect the shapes into polyhedra really stretches the spatial reasoning part of my brain! So I think they must be a ‘good’ toy. Expensive, but they are nicely made, and we haven’t broken any in the year we’ve had them. We got a FreeStyle set, but the LaQ compatible headband in the girly set looks like so much fun!

Add Yours →we have some, it is quite popular here. I like that we can keep a back of it in a little zipped pouch and take it out with use – especially good for the cafe or long train rides! It is amazing what you can make with it too!
It really is fun. I might generally keep it in my purse, except it is Rebecca’s ‘special’ property!
I’ve never seen these – looks fun!
I’m not surprised, the only place I have seen them other than online is in Japanese toy stores.
