A flat tree with its trunk, roots, fanned branches and a big crown of leaves.

Build the tree step by step

Step 1: lay the trunk

Step 1: lay the trunk

Lay six planks flat in two rows of three, tight against one another. This is the trunk of your tree.

Step 2: add the roots

Step 2: add the roots

At the foot of the trunk, lay four Kapla spreading out on each side. These are the roots, which hold the tree in the ground.

Step 3: start the first branches

Step 3: start the first branches

At the top of the trunk, lay four planks fanning out, like the fingers of an open hand.

Step 4: draw the leaves

Step 4: draw the leaves

Go round the top of the tree with nine planks end to end. This is the crown, all the leaves of the tree.

Step 5: fill the crown

Step 5: fill the crown

Slip the last four branches in between the first ones, inside the crown. Your tree is finished!

Frequently asked questions

It takes 27: 6 for the trunk, 4 for the roots, 8 for the branches and 9 for the crown of leaves.
