LeapFrog Spin and Sing Alphabet Zoo

A loves animals. Every single book/toy which we got for her which has animals has been super hit with her. That is why we got this.

It says its a toy for 6 months+. We got it when she was 12 months.

It has 3 modes.  We have mostly been using one mode as of now. Basically in that mode, when baby spins the ball and on which ever letter it stops, it tells the name of the animal corresponding to that letter and makes the sound made by that animal. For eg: if the lights are pointing towards letter 'P'. It says Pig, Oink Oink. Similarly there are total 26 animals. A giggles, laughs and tries to make those sounds. She finds them too funny.
I felt some of the sounds are not too accurate but then i don't think it matters much as we have had lot of fun and learning for the amount we paid.

Second mode tells the letters. Haven't used this mode much yet.

Third mode plays music till the time baby moves the ball. So, this basically teaches cause and effect. Every time the baby spins it, he/she is rewarded with music.


At the time of writing this review, i checked flipkart, amazon, snapdeal. The product wasn't available. Adding the links here, just in case it becomes available later.

Verdict: Must buy if you baby loves animals and animal sounds

This toys is recommended for kids above 6 months. Though the manufacturer recommended age is 6months-36months, I do-not agree with that. I would say after like 15 months, i don't think A will be using it. Well, in our case time will tell as A is not yet 15 months. Infact A was bored in between. So, i hid it for like 15 days. Now its back to her play list :)

We got A this toy when she was around 7 month old and she loved it. It actually encouraged her to crawl. She used to get super excited seeing the monkey move and used to put her best to move and catch it. Remember if the baby actually catches the monkey, it falls down. Thats where we parents come in the picture. Every time it falls i used to make it stand and it would run again with the same happy music and A will be after with the same excitement.

Note:
This toy is not for parents who aren't willing to lift the toy every time it falls. And please don't expect any educational value from it. Some toys are just for fun and to encourage some physical movement in babies.

The quality of the toy is good but i feel its fairly highly priced.

Verdict: Get it when some offers are on.
