Dadu's puzzles are open-ended, developmental toys that can be used in a variety of ways. The most obvious use is for children to rearrange the mixed-up elements to recreate the picture, which helps develop their shape and color recognition, fine motor skills, concentration, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness. However, this only keeps them engaged as long as it presents a challenge, and that's not what makes these puzzles open-ended. However these puzzles offer many more possibilities.
Children use their own imagination and creativity to use the puzzle pieces for various other purposes. They create unique characters, beautiful flowers, funny vehicles, castles, landscapes, cook with them, use them for role-playing, play board games with their own rules, and build anything they can imagine from their favorite stories. Through play, they enhance their fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and get familiar with colors. Older kids can find a challenge in seeking balance while creating exciting and unusual structures.
Dadu's puzzles range from very simple ones with just a few pieces for the very young to more complex ones recommended primarily for preschool and early elementary school children.
Each of Dadu's toys is uniquely designed: we draw them directly onto the wood, cut, sand, and paint each one by hand. We couldn't replicate them even if we wanted to.
Many of our puzzles come with custom trays that not only make storage easier but also serve as a stable base, especially when kids play on carpets.
