LeapFrog LeapBuilders 123 Fix-It Truck, Multicolor

Great! The kids love it!

This seemed to be a fun learning toy. I gave it to my grandson for his birthday in September. Today I noticed that they hadnt taken the last strap off. In doing so, I learned that the round blocks when inserted in the front will tell what the picture is that is on that block. Unfortunately, most of the blocks do not match what the toy is saying. The toy says number three when the number five is showing; when you see the boots, it says bucket. Its too late to return. Good thing he is only two and likes to put the blocks together, or else this would be useless.

These are great beginners building toys, they’re the perfect size for small hands to grasp and attach to each other, and they make an adorable firetruck. They fit seamlessly with other sets as wel. Blocks are great quality. Promotes creativity and encourages hand eye coordination and motor skills. Recommended

My 2.5 year old has really gotten into building blocks lately, and I have to say that these are his favorite by far! The fact that they are interactive really sets them apart.

love it

The LeapFrog Fix-It Truck is a really neat building toy. The way that the individual blocks can be clicked into the reader unit and then it talks to the kid about the picture on the block is neat. And an older kid can have fun learning about how the notches on the top of the block are read by the unit. The blocks and truck itself can be configured in a bunch of different ways, including making a type of crane with the pictured blocks. The blocks are nicely colored, holding up well to significant kid abuse, and nicely sized for a kid who isnt quite ready for small-block Legos yet.

This is a great toy. It encompasses use of hands and thoughts to build and has an interactive aspect not found in ordinary building toys. Im beginning to think the same voice is used across a spectrum of toy brands. Im sure kids find it fine but as an adult I think I would find the voice grating. I like the learning aspect and the combining of electronics with hand and motor skills.

How colorful and size of pieces for a child to handle easily

My almost three year old grandson loves vehicles and Legos (he knows a Chevy Impala when he sees one and can be forgiven when he mistakes a CR-V for a Honda Odyssey). He liked this just fine, but was not as excited as I expected. The truck worked right out of the box and being Lego-like putting them together was very easy. I worried that three year old fingers would not be able to put the round pieces in that make it talk, but he had no trouble at all putting them in or taking them out. Oddly, since most toys like this are too loud, this seemed a bit too quiet. granted, it was a room full of people, so I guess for normal play time this volume is just right. Theres a good variety of items and numbers that the machine says, and it worked literally right out of the box. Its a nice little teaching toy and I expect it will see a lot of playtime.

Perfect compliment to the basic set of blocks
