Prep for Pre-K & Kindergarten with New Toys from LeapFrog! + Giveaway

LeapFrog provided complimentary learning toys for review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Having three young children, LeapFrog is no stranger in our household. My children and I have always enjoyed learning with LeapFrog. We were very excited to receive two toys from LeapFrog, the Word Whammer & The Number Lovin’ Oven.

We opened the Word Whammer first. My son is four years old and I have NEVER seen him so enthusiastic about learning his letters. The Word Whammer uses an action-packed carnival theme to encourage the children to play games to earn tickets. It has three different games that help with uppercase and lowercase letter recognition, letter sounds and word building.  My son was so proud of himself when he earned tickets and prizes, he was grinning ear to ear and telling his every move. He caused such a commotion, his older sister ran over to plead for her turn to play. She is entering the first grade and really enjoyed the word building game. The Word Whammer is a great kindergarten prep toy and I found that it really worked well as a summer review for my older daughter. We recently took a six hour road trip and they shared the Word Whammer in the backseat on the way to our destination and back home. They were so positive about about learning and had so much fun–it did not feel like learning at all! The Word Whammer is a great educational toy and makes for a lot of fun on the go!

Next, we took out the Number Lovin’ Oven. Who could not love this toy? I loved it from the minute I looked at the box and saw the adorable oven with the 16 fun ingredients included! Those items include 4 pizza slices that snap together, 3 slices of bread that snap together, 2 cupcakes, 1 fried egg, 2 plates, 1 skillet, 1 spatula and 1 baking tray. Best of all, it is easy to travel with and clean up. All of the accessories can be stored neatly inside the actual oven itself. As a busy mom who finds it difficult to not lose pieces, this was a huge plus for me.

Once we took the oven out of the box, my three year old assumed this oven was a belated birthday gift just for her! The oven itself sings and says over 30 phrases that encourage children to sing along and count with them. LeapFrog really did a wonderful job creating a toy that helps build vocabulary and introduce math skills all-in-one. You can count while baking bread or frying an egg on the sizzling, singing stove top. The two cupcakes were my daughters favorite to cook, count and share. The Number Lovin’ Oven helps children experience mathematical relationships, such as parts of a whole when baking a pizza and dividing up items equally when slicing the bread into three equal parts. The Number Lovin’ oven will give the little chef in your life a taste for math at an early age!

Overall, I really impressed with both of these learning toys from LeapFrog and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to review them.  Visit LeapFrog.com to learn more about their fun and education toys, and make sure to connect with them on Facebook and Twitter!
