The Alphapet Explorer by W. Hall "DKANR"

My niece is two and loves this toy. She plays for hours at a time and likes to mimic the sounds. I always buy educational toys and feel that Leapfrog has toys for all ages and children learn as they play. How can you beat that? If you want your child to be entertained and learn at the same time BUY THIS TOY!

Best alphabet learning tool by Jen H.

My 3 year old loves this toy. We bring this in the car or to the restaurant for my son to play with. Since he got it for Christmas, he has finally started to learn phonics which I had previously tried teaching him using flashcards. Like the other posters have mentioned, this toy's music doesn't drive me crazy. It's easier on the nerves than most. The toy has many features including a game in which children are either given the letter name or the sound and asked to locate the corresponding letter. It keeps score so you can monitor progress. The music option lets them play the alphabet song providing they hit the letter keys in order from left to right (like reading). Great toy! I would have rated it 6 stars had that been possible. We've had lots of electronic toys, but this has been mine and my son's favourite. LeapFrog toys are superior.

Great little learning toy by A. Pancho

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old for Christmas and have really enjoyed watching her play with it. She sings the alphabet song along with it, which is a treat for me. My 5 year old nephew who is a special needs child also loves this toy, and loves the Letter Sounds mode. It has been dropped down a flight of stairs already and is still working perfectly. The option to turn the sound down is also great. Anyone who has kids knows that the most annoying thing is to hear a toy all the time, and when this is turned down it is definately manageable, and not nearly as distracting.

Good product. Leap from is a winner. by " Anti Microchip

Ok, my wife purchased the leap frog alpha-pet explorer from a used toy shop (At least that's where we get most of the kids toys, almost brand new, half the price). My boy loved it. Played with it for the first six months constantly. I had some individuals (mainly his speech therapist) state it should be used in moderation, and I agree. However, my son might not be talking as much as other children but he sure knows his alphabet. Ask him to bring some of his fridge phonics letters over (made by the same company) and he can do it by the letters name or sound (he could do this by age two). Would I use this toy as they only thing to teach the alphabet to my son? NO! Do I find it useful in moderation and to supplement other learning methods? Yes!!

*As a side note I have done a fair amount of research into early reading programs, and have had much better results with phonic based material.

Entertaining and Educational! by HippoMommy

My son received this as a gift when he was not quite two years old. He liked playing around with it right away but was really only able to play with two of the modes - the music and the one that just tells you the letter. Now that he's nearing 3 year old he plays with this literally every day. He'll sit for 15 minutes (or more) at once playing with this. And he's clearly learning his letters and the sounds they make. Now he plays all the games on it and is learning about how to make his name out of letters. He enjoys it and it has been a great learning tool for him.

I like it because on the lower volume (which, lucky for me my son will leave it at) it doesn't annoy me in the slightest. Most noise-making toys annoy me too much.

Great teaching/learning tool! by Jennifer Chavez

I'm so happy that I purchased this toy. It has been a fun and very educational toy for my kids that has yet to lose their interest. There are plenty of differant things to learn and play. A very well liked toy!

I have a 2 year old by Someone Special

My son loves this toy. He plays with it at home and takes it in the car for longer trips. He especially loves the option where he's asked to find specific letters. At 2 1/2, he can identify all his letters, has learned the phonics for most of the alphabet and enjoys (and mimics) the "bark" during the alphabet song. This toy in combination with the LeapFrog fridge phonics has helped make him impressive to many.

My son loves this toy!! by Sarah Andrews Parris

My son plays with this toy all the time. He carries it around everywhere saying his letters and punching the buttons. Within days of starting to play with this he started to recognize the actual letters and point to some of them while saying his ABC's and he is only 19 months.

Cute educational toy by carin

We actually have the previous version of this particular toy, but it's basically the same thing - just looks a little different. My son has had it for about 6 months and he really enjoys it. We really haven't used it too much though for learning the alphabet, but will do so soon. He is very rough on his toys and throws them on the ground, and this has survived. It had used batteries in it when we received it from a friend, and they're still working, so it's not an energy sucker either. Very cute toy for the little ones to learn their ABC's.
