Leapfrog toys for babies and toddlers are some of the most amazing toys I have ever seen. There is such a wide range, from toys for infants - well, I believe their mothers enjoy them almost as much as the babies - right up to interactive toddler play sets.

These marvels of electronics are meant to be used with adult supervision, and what better time to reinforce your bond with your baby than during play. I love the amazing variety of musical toys, as well. From an animal sounds guitar, a sing-along radio, and a complete musical table, you will be able to find a toy to suit any baby or toddler.

These wonderful tools will help you jump-start baby's learning with counting toys, number and letter recognition games, and press and learn activities. They will keep your toddler happily engaged while learning the alphabet, counting, and simple phonics.



Perfect for Baby's first crib rattle, this colorful crab features bright and crinkly fabric feet with clear, beaded claws. It will provide an excellent tactile experience with its easy-grab handles variety of interesting-to-touch fabrics, and soft rattling sound.


How could anyone resist these delightful musical toys? I know I certainly couldn't.

When my son was first able to hold his head up for any length of time, there was little that would retain his interest for any length of time unless it was musical. He loved anything that jingled, bonged, binged or played a song.

At three months old, he was riveted by the Friendly Giant, a fifteen minute children's show that came on every weekday morning. Bob Humme, the Giant, and his behind-the-scenes partner, Rod Conneybear, a masterly puppeteer, created a lovely, gentle, and slightly quirky world in which giants and rooster sock-puppets conversed, read stories and enjoyed playing music together.

Let me rephrase that - my son was riveted by Friendly, Rusty the Rooster and their buddy, Gerome the Giraffe as long as they were making music. Story-time left him cold and he would happily explore other facets of his rapidly growing world.

Should the "Siamese Cats" be visiting with their drums and guitars, My son would watch, almost unblinking as the flute-playing Giant jammed with the musical cats and Rusty joined in on his own wee guitar...and they made some lovely music together.

My son was fortunate to receive one of the first LeapPads that were sold - it was the most amazing gift and captured his attention and held it longer than television or books ever could!
