5.0 out of 5 stars 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 like how open-ended the play is with these little squares. I wish they were a little less flimsy.

These Dado Squares are fun, fun, fun. One thing I'm really happy about is how small they break down. We travel quite a bit, and to take these along really takes up no space at all. They provide a great source of entertainment for both my girls, making little "houses" and "offices" for their dolls.
