Dado Cubes and Dado Squares

Visual Spatial Learning, like that offered by Dado Cubes and Dado Squares, has captured the attention of scientists and educators as being highly valuable in child development. Visual Spatial Play refers to the ability to mentally picture things and is characterized by the ability to appreciate patterns & form in very large or small areas of space. Dado Cubes can help develope Visual Spatial Intelligence which can enable children to construct three-dimensional mental images and visualize them from multiple perspectives. A keen eye for form, design, color, size, shape and space enables these gifted children to create realistic representations of real world images.

Safety proven, bright, colorful Dado Cubes and Dado Squares are available in both a stimulating original palette of colors and a captivating blue scale. Durable, heavy gauge plastic construction.

Dado helps children improve fine motor skills, including hand strength, finger dexterity and coordination of small muscle movements. With mastery of the movements required to fit the cubes together, children take obvious pride in their creative constructions. Psychologically, children develop skills as they share ideas and talk about their play goal.
