One Response for "Dado Building Cubes"
I really struggled with deciding to write a review for these because most reviews I have seen rave about this toy. We have had DADO CUBES for three years now, and I really want them to be as fun as many say they are. In these three years, most of the children playing with them have been between the ages 2-7. Even the ones who love to build with “anything” didn’t like them. The two year olds either didn’t try to build with them or found them frustrating, and the 3+ are not interested. The few who did give them a chance got bored within minutes. I have tried leaving them out where they would yell “play with me”, I’ve tried showing them how to play with them, I’ve tried setting them up so they looked neat. Nothing has worked for us. There are 10 blocks with slits in them so that they can be stuck together in different directions. I wonder if having more would make them more fun. Please read reviews at Fat Brain Toys’ web site for all the many positive reviews. You’ll see that most reviewers love them. As you can see, I was really surprised to find that they are so dull. I am going to finally pass them along. I say if you have money to spare, try them out. Otherwise I suggest some simple building blocks. All those same 2-7 year olds over the years have continued to love our wood blocks.
