Fat Brain Toy Co. develops design-inspired toys, games & brainteasers for the specialty toy market.

Tobbles
Dado Bricks
Six spheres nest inside each other, each a different weight allowing for endless configurations. Deconstruct your tower and watch the pieces wobble. Flip the spheres upside down and build it all over again. Spin the pieces round and round, stack by size, weight or color the possibilities are endless. Little hands will delight in the never-ending discovery of Tobbles.

The wobbling motion of each piece encourages a sense of touch while stacking the spheres high to form colorful creations will develop hand-eye coordination with the added bonus of discovering balance. An acute sense of visual spatial awareness develops as children quickly discover color and size sequence as they explore the many ways Tobbles can be stacked and balanced. Tobbles is at home in the board room, too! A design-savvy conversation piece that will provide hours of abstract fun on any desk. Ages 1 and up.
 
Dado Bricks are cleverly designed cardboard bricks, similar to any other popular interlocking brick construction set, but bigger - in fact, MUCH BIGGER! These stacking cardboard bricks measure 12 inches long x 6 inches deep x 3 inches high. At long last, kids can use these stacking bricks to create kid-scale structures...walls, castles, forts, secret hide-outs, or even attractive room decor.

Unlike other simple cardboard blocks on the market, the Dado Cardboard Bricks contain a protruding pair of square nubs along with a matching set of recessed square indentations. The result is a cardboard brick that when stacked, will not easily tumble and can retain a rigid structure. While cardboard blocks have been a staple in playrooms for decades, the Dado Cardboard Brick is the innovation kids have been waiting for! Ages 3 and up.
