The new LeapFrog wooden toys, available now exclusively at Target, include:
ABCs & Activities Wooden Table™: Turn the tables on play with the ABCs & Activities Wooden Table™, only at Target. Sit on the floor to explore the Activity Center and its twisty bead maze, turning gears and musical book page. We’re growing vegetables! Insert the tomato, carrot and peas shape-sorter blocks to pretend to plant seeds. When crawlers become cruisers, insert the Activity Center into the table top to encourage standing and walking. As little ones turn into toddlers, flip the Activity Center over to the Letter Center side to find touch-sensitive pictures that encourage kids to discover letters, words and phonics. Let’s explore the garden. Switch modes and touch the pictures to listen to phrases about animals, counting and colors or tap on the drum to hear color names and numbers. Add nature sounds to the melodies or use the piano keys to make your own music using piano, flute and violin sounds in Music mode. (Ages 6+ months; MSRP: US$69.99)
LeapTab Touch™: New skills are at your preschooler’s fingertips with the screen-free LeapTab Touch™, only at Target. Animal friends grab their attention and introduce kids to tons of subjects they’ll explore in school on 10 double-sided cards. Tap the hundreds of touch-to-learn spots on the sturdy, colorful touch pages to play activities, games and puzzles. Activities encourage kids to learn about preschool skills from letters and numbers to manners and feelings. Look for cards with a radio touch spot on them to play eight sing-along songs that explore what to wear for the weather, daily routines and more. Clean-up and storage are simple with a built-in card holder that keeps pages together while playing and locks them in place to keep them from falling out. (Ages 3+ years; MSRP: US$29.99)
Touch & Learn Wooden Activity Cube™: It’s a block party with the Touch & Learn Wooden Activity Cube™, only at Target! Exciting activities around every corner introduce toddlers to shapes, colors, numbers, animals and music. Touch the five friendly animals to hear them play their instruments, then use the light-up piano keys to make your own music using fiddle, drum, flute, guitar and trumpet sounds. The phone’s ringing! Pick it up to chat with your new puppy pal, Dog. Take a trip to the top of the cube and spin the cloud or slide the beads around the maze to build problem-solving and coordination skills. Can you find a picture of five ladybugs? Find the blocks on the side and flip them to explore numbers and things from nature. Slide to the other side and move the squirrel and butterfly or turn the interlocking gears to see cause and effect at work. The fifth side features a shape sorter to use with the four included shape blocks. (Ages 12+ months; MSRP: US$34.99)
