 Excellent toy for creative children! September 8, 2007

This is a wonderful product! We have two sets (which I highly recommend if you have more than one child) and they have been so much fun! The colors are fantastic and there are so many possibilities for creativity! One of our children has autism and this is one of her favorite toys. She uses them for so many other types of play (putting little plastic animals in each one like a zoo, adding them to her regular wood blocks, etc.)as well as their original purpose. I highly recommend this product for children under the age of 8 or so who are curious and creative! By the way, the review prior to this is absolutely outrageous and has nothing to do with this wonderful product. Fat Brain Toys is an excellent seller and we have been happy with all of our orders from their innovative company! Happy Dado-ing!

I recently bought Dado cubes for my two-year-old daughter and she loves them. She also likes playing with similar types of toys (legos, for example), so when I brought these out one day when we needed something new, she was able to play with them by herself for a decent amount of time. As time goes on, she continues to enjoy them!
 Not as interesting as I had hoped April 23, 2008

The 10 Dado Cubes come nested in a flexible, plastic box. They are made of hard plastic in nice bright colors. Two sides of the cube are open. On each of the other 4 sides, there are slits that go half-way up and they are the key to building.
Yes, you can make an "unlimited number of 3-D structures," but it just doesn't keep the interest of our 5-year old or myself for that matter. Maybe we're just not interested in spatial challenges. My son would rather use the boxes in imaginative play with animals or characters. I also would have liked if the cubes came in some sort of box that could have been used for storage like what other nesting boxes come in.
I'll try to keep re-introducing this toy to our kids to see if, one day, they enjoy it more because it does seem like it would help develop spatial-reasoning and problem-solving.
