LaQ is a very simple, yet highly creative construction toy which offers an infinite possibility of creation from just 7 types of block parts (2 base parts and 5 joint parts).
The "Q" in LaQ is for the Japanese word "kyuu" which means sphere, and LaQ is completely unique in how the blocks can create spherical geometric shapes using a minimum number of parts. A sphere is the most infinite shape of all polyhedral objects, and LaQ is the ultimate block to explore the possibilities in creating from a child's imagination.
LaQ pieces make a fun snapping noise when putting the pieces together. A child will know that the pieces are firmly connected with this snapping noise, and this “SNAP!” will encourage him to continue creating his own personal toy. Piecing together these parts are not only great fun but helps a child learn how to concentrate through creative play.
The amazing designs you can create full scale can be used as modeling materials for adults as well. LaQ is the ideal toy to bring out the genius in all of us.
