Noted the other day when Minnow was puzzling. It’s a good thing she can’t read yet.

That “octagon” was obviously designed by the same toy designer who did the six-legged stuffed “octopus” that we’ve seen at other ScienceBlogs.

you should send it to the FAIL blog…

Six-sided Octagon does tend to substantiate the dyslexia theory.

I just hope they didn’t do it because they were afraid that “Hex” would imply the occult…

ditto hypoglycemiagirl, FAIL entry for sure

Clearly I am in the same class as the maker of this toy. I couldn’t see what was wrong with it until I read the comments. Doh! (Well in my defense it is early on a Saturday morning….;-)

Oh, my. Luckily, by the time she can read octagon, she will likely be moving on to more fun toys…or books.

Geometry FAIL. Definitely belongs on failblog!

Instead of being glad the kid can’t read, why not just get some paint or some tacky paper and a permanent marker and fix the error, then you don’t have to worry about creating an associative connection between the shape and the wrong word?

Whoever made the toy must have failed geometry badly.
