Little children can form deep bonds with play figures—whether they look like people, animals, or odd creatures from the imagination—as if they were tiny friends, kindred spirits they can talk to and care for. They sing to them, feed them, wrap them up snug, and take them along on every adventure.
In this kind of role play, children relive everyday experiences and create their own imaginary worlds, stepping into the shoes of other beings. These little worlds help them make sense of themselves and the world around them, while nurturing language skills, creativity, imagination, social abilities, and empathy.
These colorful, friendly, and finely detailed figures feel like Dadu’s playground friends. Little kids, teens, grown-ups—chubby or lanky, bold or bashful, dreamy or a bit nerdy—each one is full of quirks and character.
Tales about animals play a crucial role in the development of little ones. Immersing themselves in the stories of different characters brings them closer to nature. Consequently, they become more sensitive and empathetic, understanding the significance of diversity, and the world opens up before them.
By learning about the nature and habits of various animals, kids come up with their own tales and stories, fostering their speaking skills, creativity, and imagination. During shared playtime, their vocabulary expands, and they express their thoughts more nuancedly. Moreover, parents find it easier to impart life lessons to their children by acting out stories with animals.
This is exactly what Dadu aims to achieve with these wooden toys: to provide lovable, endearing characters for them.
In Dadu’s zoo, realistic animals live happily side by side with the quirky, the funny, and the fantastical.
All of Dadu’s toys are one of a kind, but the Bebops are where our imagination really runs wild. These whimsical creatures are true storybook heroes — just waiting for you to invent their tales.
We believe that joyful, funny, and unusual wooden toys spark kids' creativity too, inspiring them to dream freely, play boldly, and dive into imaginative worlds of their own — with drawings, modeling clay, roleplay, or stories no one’s ever heard before.
Little kids approach every living creature with trust and openness. They can love a fuzzy caterpillar, pet a snail, have no fear of spiders, and curiously observe all kinds of insects. It's only much later, influenced by adults, that they may develop aversion or fear of these creatures. However, the world of insects is truly marvelous and incredibly diverse—a world worth exploring.
In Dadu's Little Insects collection, you'll find hand-painted, lifelike wooden figures that can be used for both learning and role-playing. We also recommend them as accessories for DaduGarden gardening playsets.
We designed these fistful fun bugs for any age. The rounded shapes and vibrant colors capture the attention of even a few months old babies. Easy to grasp with just developing motor skills, so they are perfect even for the littlest hands.
Additionally, they can make an unusual yet perfect decoration for a modern, gray office.
