Dado Squares from Fat Brain Toys

The first thing that caught my eye when I first saw the Dado Squares was the range of colors they come in. There are blues, reds, greens, yellows - it's almost like playing with a rainbow. I think that's a big part of their appeal for young kids.

As far as the squares go, I think that their unique concept is pretty neat. Building is basically done by inserting the squares into each other via the slits that you find on all four sides. Dado Squares provides an excellent way for kids to use their imaginations and come up with cool building ideas.

Fat Brain Toys have come up with a different kind of building blocks that will fascinate your child. Dado Squares are unique building blocks that will help your child develop proportion, balance, structure and color while they construct ingenious structures using their imaginations.

The pieces that come in the Dado Squares package have slits on all sides. It's pretty easy for kids to put together different types of construction models without much external help. Of course, if you want to venture into building more complicated structures, parents can help their kids out. You can construct three dimensional structures over 3 feet high. Of course, you will need to buy additional Dado Squares sets if you want to go all out and build something really "wow".

Each set of Dado Squares comes with 35, 3-inch squares in a vibrant color palette. They are made of durable, heavy-duty plastic. Dado Aquares retail for approximately $20.
