LeapFrog My Pal Scout
My Pal Scout (and, later, the purple My Pal Violet) is probably the most recognizable of all of the LeapFrog toys out there. He’s the classic LeapFrog green, which is the brand’s signature color many its toys. Violet, of course, is violet to appeal to gifts.
Scout and Violet play over 30 songs that teach words, counting, and more. There are daytime and nighttime activities too. Plus, you can teach the toy to say your child’s name for personalized learning.
LeapFrog Get Ready for Phonics Spin & Learn
If you’re around my age, you remember the See and Say, where you would pull a lever, the arrow would land on an animal, and you would hear animal sounds. It’s was one of the best toys we had.
The LeapFrog Get Ready for Phonics Spin & Learn is similar, just updated for this generation. It has over 100 words, sounds, and phrases to help your child learn word sounds and get ready for phonics. The toys is designed for kids who are 18 months and older, so of course, they don’t know what phonics is yet, but this will definitely get them started in the right direction.
Leapfrog Nest & Count Turtle Tower
There’s a very popular stacking toy, with rings, that I usually give to 1 year olds for their first Christmas. You know the one. It was my top kids gifts for give for a long time. But, if you want to gift something different, check out the Leapfrog Nest & Count Turtle Tower. It’s very similar in that your child is stacking colorful, different sized objects.
This version has more learning opportunities because there are numbers and shapes on the side of each turtle, plus different expressions so your child can learn about emotions as well.
LeapFrog Chat And Count Emoji Phone
Kids see their parents on the phone all the time. And so, they want to be on the phone. But, well, kids aren’t that gentle. So, instead of giving your kids your phone, give them their own. In the form of this LeapFrog Chat And Count Emoji Phone.
The phone has buttons your child can press, which helps them learn numbers. They can also talk to Scout on the phone (which means you don’t have to sit on your phone during every imaginary phone call). There’s also videos that play, which is what your child is used to seeing on your phone. Plus, they can play some songs on the phone too.
LeapFrog Tap-a-Peg Wooden Truck
At first glance, the LeapFrog Tap-a-Peg Wooden Truck looks like your typical hammering toy. But, of course, there’s learning fun hidden in this toy.
Each peg has a different color, number, and shape, so that’s educational. Of course, the toy works on motor skills and builds coordination. And the truck actually plays some songs too, which will keep your kid entertained (as long as it’s louder than the banging).
LeapFrog LeapStart Learning Success Bundle
If your kids are learning to read, or showing an interest in learning to read, this LeapFrog LeapStart Learning Success Bundle is a great way to foster that. Kids will use the pen to read along with the books, which feature short vowels, sight words, and simple words. They can read at their own pace and go back over words to really learn them.
This bundle comes with a Go! Go! Cory Carson Cory Carson Superhero School book and an additional preschool activity book, which means you can hold off buying additional books for a while.
LeapFrog On-The-Go Story Pal
This LeapFrog On-The-Go Story Pal is perfect for travel because it’s pre-loaded with stories that can be read to your kids. You can even record yourself reading a story on it.
Since this is just a small device, without any books or anything to play with, it encourages focus and listening comprehension — in addition to being entertaining.
LeapFrog Learn & Groove Shakin’ Colors Maracas
If your child loves music and dancing, these LeapFrog Learn & Groove Shakin’ Colors Maracas are a good gift. These are intended for kids as young as 6 months old, so this is a great way to get little ones moving.
There are three modes: colors, numbers, and music. And, two languages (English and Spanish) so it’s really educational — much more so than you would expect from some maracas.
LeapFrog Tad’s Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set
Everyone had those magnetic letters stuck to the fridge at one point or another.
LeapFrog Tad’s Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set is similar to that because it comes with 26 magnetic letters, which help teach letter recognition. This one also plays songs, which is fun too.
LeapFrog Spin and Change Apple Shape Sorter
I love this LeapFrog Spin and Change Apple Shape Sorter so much. When you push on the apple’s stem, the top piece spins and the holes line up to form shapes. Your child will then try to see which of the plastic pieces fit in those shapes. Then, push the stem again and new shapes form.
Each piece is a different color and has a picture of a different fruit on it, so it’s a great way to teach your child about different shapes, sizes, colors, and fruit.
LeapFrog Tumbling Blocks Fire Truck
This LeapFrog Tumbling Blocks Fire Truck is a great toy. It’s “driven” by Scout and Violet, which your kids will love if they have the My Pal toys.
It comes with five blocks that tumble down the ladder of the fire truck, which is a good way to work on fine motor skills. Those blocks have letters and words on them, so when you stick them in the driver’s seat, your child will hear the names and sounds of animals and objects.Plus, of course, your kids can just use their imagination with this and play with it as a regular fire truck as well.
LeapFrog Scoop and Learn Ice Cream Cart
Sure, this LeapFrog Scoop and Learn Ice Cream Cart looks like it’s just for imaginative play, but it’s more than that. It’s educational too.
As children scoop ice cream, they’ll learn colors. As they’re pumping syrup, they’ll practice counting. There’s also play money, which kids can count, and helps them understand the concept of paying for things.
LeapFrog 100 Words Books
Language and learning words are essential for kids, and these LeapFrog 100 Words Books are so incredibly helpful with that.
You can choose from a variety of options: places I go, animals, things that go, and more.
Some of the books have bilingual options too, in case your kid is growing up in a bilingual home.
