Dado Squares from Fat Brain Toys are the newest edition to their Dado line and I think they’re super cool. (We reviewed the original Dado Cubes here.)

They’re ingeniously simple – even more so than the cubes, and are extremely engaging for kids as young as 2 and as old as…me! They allow for unlimited creativity, which is fabulous, and whether alone or combined with the Dado Cubes they encourage the brain-stretching visual-spatial play that many kids love.

The set contains 35 3″ squares and the box is small enough to fit in a stocking. Do you think Santa can take a hint?

We’re giving them away! To enter to win a box of Dado Squares, email theopinionatedparent@gmail.com with Dado Squares in the subject line and tell us what the Fat Brain Toys price on this item is. (ETA: Check the Fat Brain site carefully – we’ve been getting lots of incorrect answers! We want the price for the squares…not the cubes.) Contest closes at midnight MST on 11/6/07. Congratulations Doreen!
