Why LaQ enables a unique educational experience
LaQ (pronounced as La Kyuu) provides a unique construction and educational toy experience that strongly encourages both creativity and engineering through only having 7 different types of parts. Designed and made in Japan, the simplicity of only having 7 types of block parts (2 base parts and 5 connector parts) still enables an infinite possibility of creative 2D and 3D models. The vibrant colours, high quality tactile feel, together with the sounds from connecting parts (Snap! And Click!) makes building and playing a fun and satisfying experience.
LaQ is excellent for development of fine motor skills, and is suitable for children from the age of 4 years and above. LaQ allows kids to start with simple shapes, develop skills through following instructions but then progress to expressing their imagination or being inspired by real-life objects. From starting with building 2D models using the flat parts, children can easily master building curved and 3D models, developing their spatial ability. Its flexibility to make realistic 3D detail, means that it is perfect for BOTH left brain and right brain thinking, and hence unique in address holistic development of STEAM. LaQ has also won many international toy awards including the Dr. Toy awards for Top 10 Building, Top 10 Creative and 100 Best categories.
Reviews and Testimonials
LaQ has been endorsed by education professionals as an ideal toy around the world, and is widely used in childcare centres, kindergartens and primary schools. It is used not only for "construction playtime' but as an open-ended tool to help kids express their imagination and to tell stories.
During play events, popup experiences and in-centre demonstrations, we have received overwhelming feedback that children of all ages love LaQ and so we are confident that it will be a fantastic addition to classrooms in Australia. Some of the testimonials and reviews are here
