first dimension is a stick
second dimension is another stick, linked to the other stick with other bars (wich would give a square)
third dimension is another square, linked to the other square with other bars (wich would give a cube)
but even if you link 2 cubes to eachother with bars, it would still give you a 3d object (if we think of 3d being an object that has height, lenght and depth)

Add time, and you have a 4th dimension. Hooray.
After that, realize that the limitations of your mind, imagination and perception do not necessarily reflect the limitations of reality. Think of it this way: if there were a 2d creature on the surface of a sphere, that creature would perceive his "universe" as infinite, and would furthermore be unable to imagine anything beyond the 2nd dimension using only observations from 2 dimensions.
However, that doesn't mean there aren't more dimensions - we humans only need to look at that pitiful creature, and we will instantly see that his world is in fact 3d and probably laugh our asses off at his stupidity.
Now, who's watching us?
