Phonics Radio

2007-01-11
I gave the Phonics Radio as a gift to my 18 month old niece. Her mother tells me that she plays with it all the time, so I consider that to be a success. : )

Leap On!

2007-01-10
We love the Leap products! This little thing is just a perfect gift for little ones. My son received this as a gift for his 1st birthday, and he (now 3-1/2) still loves it because of the catchy little musical excerpts. It's small, portable, provides simple and fun letter instruction, and it's just fun! Great toy!

awsome toy

2007-01-10
my son got this when he was 9 months, he loved it and it went every where with us, it is now 3 years old and he still sings along with it. all though the stickers are now coming off, but for it being 3 years old it still works great and he still loves it!

Engaging and entertaining!! Great for travel.

Entertains for a good length of time. Small enough to make it great for travel and the like. Would make a great gift. My daughter has been playing with hers for two years.

PRICE HIKE !!!!!!!!!!

This is a great toy ! My 2 y/o D has it. However, please check your prices when shopping. This item is only 14.99 in retail stores. I am very shocked to see it at 26.99 and used ones for over 17.00 !!!! Wake up people !!!!

My children, 2 and 4 years, both love this toy. Does anyone else's say letter "zed" instead of letter "z"? That''s my only problem with it. Must be a defect.

ehhhh... if you see it on clearance go for it

Not worth full price. We bought this as a special new car toy for a day long road trip when our son was around 18 months or so. Up til then we'd had fantastic luck with all things Leapfrog. Well... we didn't make it 5 miles before he threw it on the floor and was bored. To this day it gets minimal use and is still on original batteries... and always will be. Nice idea and theory but ultimately a real dud.

Awesome Product For Language Delays

2007-01-22
My son was born prematurely and has a language delay. This toy has helped introduce him to the alphabet in a form that he can enjoy, rather than be bored by, since like any other toddler, he doesn't have a long attention span. He also loves the music and the lights that light up when the buttons are pushed.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
