LeapFrog Leapster®

This is a well made entertaining toy and very educational toy for 6 months up. It is designed to introduce your baby to the alphabet at a young age and help them learn their letters and sounds while they play. As you can see in the image the ball is mounted in a stand and can be spun round, or can be removed by an adult and rolled around the floor. The Discovery Ball is soft and has a band around the middle with buttons of the letters of the alphabet. The ball has three fun modes, letter, phonics and music. Letters mode, your toddler can press a letter to find out its name in upper case (A, B, C through to Z). In the Phonics mode, they can press the letters to hear its lower case primary phonics sound, (ah, buh, cuh). In both of these modes, when the Discovery Ball is rolled or turned it sings the ABC song and when the movement stops, so does the song, to encouraging baby to keep it moving. In the Music Mode, each of the 26 letters of the alphabet starts a different instrumental tune, from g for "Green sleeves" to r for "Row, row, row your boat" plenty to keep your toddler entertained and wanting another tune £17.97
