Dadafu

Named for Dafu. Made for playing together.

Behind the name Dadafu is Dafu, a child who likes to build with magnetic tiles. The kind of building that starts on an ordinary table and grows one piece at a time.

We want to make more room for those moments: a child with an idea, a grown-up close by, and something they can make together.

What will you make next?

Questions from parents

Does my child need to stay on a screen?

No. You can preview the model and check the steps as needed while your child builds with real tiles. The online builder is an optional extra.

Are these plans or physical tiles?

Dadafu provides digital building guides and play ideas: rotating models, piece lists and step-by-step pictures. Bring your own physical tiles. Our optional material recommendations link to external retailers.

Can one 104-piece set make the big castle?

The large castle plan needs more pieces than one 104-piece set. Check its material list, including the windows and spire pieces, before you start. The starter collection has smaller builds.

Will a model stand up with our real tiles?

Dimensions, magnet strength and connections matter. The steps explain when to brace towers, roofs and ramps. An adult should help with tall sections and check each physical stage.
