LeapFrog Spin and Sing Alphabet Zoo

January 6th, 2010

LeapFrog Spin and Sing Alphabet Zoo




Animals go ’round and ’round while little tots learn their names and sounds. Whizzing motions, sparkling lights and cheerful songs introduce kids to the alphabet, from “alligator” to “zebra.” Three engaging modes help them learn: Letter, Animal and Music. In Letter Mode, the wheel stops on a letter and sounds out its name. Animal Mode lets little one discover 26 animals, along with their names and noises. Music Mode plays the alphabet song while little ones spin and play. Requires 3 “AA” batteries, included. 6″ x 6.5″ x 7.25″.

4 Stars Our daughter likes this a lot
Our 10 month old loves to spin it to keep sounds or music going :)

I appreciate that the volume isn’t too loud in the low setting (a real problem in too many toys)… the variety is good: the music, animal sounds and letter settings are all different. Note that the animal sounds are a bit exxagerated… they had to find an animal with “X”, so they say “X-Ray Fish” (not even sure that’s a real fish!) and of course the sound is made up.

A good buy, since “spinning” is a pretty interesting concept to have a baby figure out.

5 Stars My 8 month old daughter loved it at 6 months and still loves it at one year!
We also bought this for a friend’s first birthday and she loves it. It has at least three settings, one for just abc’s, another for the animals, and the third for both, including singing the abc song.

5 Stars Fantastic choice!
I bought this toy for my 15 month old son and he loves it! It’s easy to use and very durable considering a little boy is putting it to the test.He loves the music although it can be a little repetitive for the parents, but I can overlook that when I see how much fun he is having.

4 Stars Fun for all ages :-)
We got this as a Christmas present for our daughter (when she was 4 months old). We set it up on her high chair to keep her entertained while we made her food. It took her a week or so to figure out that she has to spin the middle part and now she loves this being a part of her routine. She only plays with it for a couple of minutes while the food is being warmed/prepared so it doesn’t reach the annoying level – but I can see how it could. I do have to say that I’ve never heard an x-ray fish, but I don’t think it’s sound is bzzzz. Other than that, I think this is a great toy to teach even younger kids dexterity and older kids about the alphabet and different animals (regardless or how silly the sounds may be). My daughter actually gets a kick out of it when I try to imitate the crazy sounds!

5 Stars Love it!
This is a very sturdy and educational toy. My one yr old would repeatedly drop it but it’s still in great shape. I love the feel of the product overall…it feels firm not flimsy. This toy automatically turns itself off when not in use and you have two different volume controls. My 4 yr old also tries to take it and play with it :) . The music is fun and engaging….my 1 yr old dances to it:) too cute… All in all I love this…I bought for my 1 yr old for her birthday.

October 21st, 2009

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wooden Frolicking Frog Pull Toy




Watch this friendly froggie playfully “hop” up and down and wiggle its eyes when pulled along. This delightful wooden push toy is classically styled, yet uniquely designed with entertaining motions and sounds to help advance gross motor skills and cognitive development with every step. Features pull string and non-skid wheels. Measures 8.5″ x 7″ x 7″.

2 Stars sad
this dog is really adorable. I bought it because it looks like our dog. But within hours after having it out of the box one of the plastic pegs holding the foot to one of the wheels snapped. The head of the nylon fastener came off, so there was a little round piece on the floor somewhere, never did find it. I called m&d and they replaced it with the frog, which was fastened with a knotted nylon rope. I really wish I had thought to fix it that way. The frog is adorable too.

4 Stars Great pull toy for any toddler!
My son was always trying to pull anything he could so I decided to buy him this pull frog. You should have seen him the day he opened that gift. He frog goes with he everywhere. As hard as my son is with toys, this frog is still holding up without issues.

5 Stars 12 month old LOVES it!!
Bought this for our grandson who LOVES the color green and frogs!! He is just beginning to walk and is fascinated that he can pull it along behind him.

This toy was a hit from the moment he saw it…especially the eyes! Appears to be well made and durable. I’m sure it will be a favorite for a long time!

5 Stars Lots of fun, great concept of hopping frog
The frog legs seem to hop as the wheels turn and children love it. It works smoothly and looks very cute. I highly recommend this pull-behind toy.

4 Stars Heirloom quality
This simple, classic toy is beautifully crafted in wood using non-toxic paint. My one-year-old niece is not yet walking but she immediately started dragging it with her as she crawls. The hopping movement makes her laugh. It’s such a pleasure to see her entertained by a toy without a computer chip. I’m sure, as she grows and walks, it will be a constant companion that stimulates her imagination. She’s already babbling to it in baby talk.

4 Stars lovely toy for kids
My daughter like it very much and she played it with for more then 3 months. After that she put is in back of her toys lot. It mimics a real baby, the sound it makes are very natural and it has light sensor, so that when anybody passes close it try to attract and make sounds. Very beautiful and lovable.

5 Stars DOLLS
TAKE OUT THE BATTERIES . OTHERWISE THEY CONTINUE TO TALK AND MOVE .

VERY ENJOYABLE FOR OUR 3 YR. OLD. I ALSO BOUGHT 3 MORE AS GIFTS

AGAIN TAKE OUT THE BATTERIES SO THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THE ITEM IS .

4 Stars My 2 year old likes to play mommy!
My 2 yr old son loves this doll! He saw this in a store and about turned inside out wanting to hold it. We wrapped it and put it under the tree. The worst part about it was the inability to turn it off before taking it out of the package.

But since he opened it, he has been playing with it non-stop. The good parts are the weight of it, it is pretty heavy in your arms. The pacifier is attached and it stops making noises pretty soon after putting the thing in its mouth.

The bad things are the fact that you need to push on the bottle and pacifier pretty hard to get it to stop making noises. Also, without having the toy keys and bottle attached, those won’t last very long in this house.

I recommend it though, especially at the under $15 price tag. Anything above that isn’t worth it.

5 Stars It’s just a cute doll.
The Cuddle & Coo doll is very cute. My 2 year old daughter loves it. All the negative attention over a phrase that might not even really be what it is claimed is a huge over-reaction in my personal opinion. Does is sound like it could be what other reviewers have claimed, yep. But most people only can hear it after someone tells them that’s what the doll is saying.

4 Stars Baby loves it- Mom and Dad???
Our baby loves it. She can put the pacifier in the babies mouth and also the bottle. She is scared of it when you turn the sound on. It sounds like a real baby and the motion senser is real strange. It will go off when you walk by it. My husband says “Chucky” is on. But overall the baby is really into the baby.
