Domino System
A simple principle fascinates kids and adults as well: The
domino. A little kick to the first brick, and the entire row begins
to fall. The FRIDLIN domino system is unique: The coloured
bricks are connected to the base board via a string - they can‘t
get lost. Erecting the bricks again is done by pulling the string,
which trains the grip of thumb and forefinger. Kids have longlasting joy and learn about the domino effect.
Domino around the corner
The wall domino brings life to walls, offers fun, and doesn‘t
take up valuable space. Nothing has to be cleaned up, nothing
gets lost. All elements of the wall domino can be combined,
such that long domino rows can be set up, on several levels
and even around the corner.

The standing dominoes have their own support legs and are
suitable for tables or floors. As with the wall domino, nothing
can get lost, and the standing dominoes can be combined
in numerous ways. Domino tracks with curves, turnouts, and
long straight lines can be set up. And rearranged again and

WALL DOMINO
Wall Domino 6 & 12 bricks
Wall Domino with lever
The walldomino has many advantages which can’t be seen on
the first sight. Installed on the wall it does not take away place
in the room and it changes boring walls into lively ones. Even
long and narrow halls become through this play desirable
play-grounds as you do not need any additional space. And
the best thing is: You don’t have to clean up, nothing can be
lost, and the walldomino is all times playable and invites to
grip, drag and knock down.
The domino with 6 stones is suitable for small children and
small wallsurfaces. You don’t need so much patience and
skills to put up the stones and the falling down is also easier to
observe. For older children there is much more fun, when the
domino is longer. No problem, the domino can be extended
without any limits. Then, even more children can play and they
have to talk to each other to put up every stone. Who will be
the first to knock down the last stone? Should we begin in the
middle or on the ends of the domino? You will be surprised to
see the children playing for hours.
The domino can be extended not only one after another but
also one on top of another. In this case, there is an arm at
the end of on of the domino rows which knocks down the
domino in the lower/upper row. When you have put up every
stone, you can begin at the top or at the bottom. Children
watch concentrated the flow of impulse and grown-ups are
also fascinated by the process. At the bottom you can use
normal walldomino and in the raws above ones with left or
right arms.
Learning Effect: Several kids can play at the same time Learning Effect: Kid‘s eyes are glowing, and they are

The children practice the grip between thumb and forefinger
spontaneously, automatically and independently without the
help of grown-ups even when it is difficult, because they want
to experience the fall of the domino stones again and again.
They grasp quickly the functioning of the domino principle
without explanation. The pride to have reached something
on their own is very important for small and handicapped
children to strengthen their self-confidence.
