Building with Blocks: Challenge # 2

Here is a tower that my middlest built with Kapla blocks.  A plug for Kapla blocks, (I've heard Citiblocks are great too)  These blocks are one of the most played with, best loved toy sets in our house.  Going three years strong!

A sophisticated design by my eldest.  This would be our relaxed homschool...in jammies building towers.  

And my littlest builds this time over and over again.  It's simple and sleek and very impressive!!
