LeapFrog LeapBuilders 123 Fix-It Truck, Multicolor

My son loves this toy. Good quality. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

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

This is an excellent learning toy and is very versatile in what can be built. It has several phrases and can identify letters, numbers, and pictures of various blocks. The sound can be adjusted to a high or low setting and it isnt a toy that has become annoying at all. Great for building vocabulary, both literally and figuratively. Also uses problem solving skills and role playing. At the time of this review the retail price was around $25 which is reasonable for the quality.

My grandson loves this. Its the perfect toy for his age. Its nonstop fun. Very vibrant colors. That alone keeps his attention. Hes in the construction stage of development so he likes seeing how things work and how he can put it together. This is a great Christmas gift.

Memory lane: me and a set of wooden blocks, the best available in 1950. You could make a very tall building out of them, Jenga style, although Jenga hadnt been invented yet. THIS set of blocks is multi-colored and notched, so the pieces all clamp together easily enough for a very young child to manage. Among this set of blocks are some that speak, numbered blocks and blocks with pictures of tools on them. THIS set of blocks fits together to become a truck that goes Wa-HOO! This is like the Duplo vehicle set on steroids. The truck talks to you, although that function can be turned off or turned down, and the pieces can be assembled any which way. It lends itself to creative play in the assembly and imaginative play in the results. Interestingly, I tried it out on five and ten-year-olds. The ten-year-old was zealous in his insistence in assembling the pieces quickly and exactly as shown on the box, and although he insisted that the toy was only good for younger children, I noticed he didnt allow his five-year-old brother any assembly time. The five-year-old wanted to keep it. I got it for a three-year-olds birthday, but I think it could be enjoyed by anyone in the two to five-year-old bracket. This set just barely fits back into its box after play. Using my Montessori training, I put it in a dollar store plastic bin, making it easy to put away but still very accessible.

My 3 year old Grandsons love playing with this. You cant go wrong with Leapfrog

This is a really great engaging toy that my son (almost 3) has had so much fun with already. The pieces are similar to your basic large building block. The base of the truck has 4 wheels and just a tray for them to build on, so they can use their creativity to make it any type of vehicle: truck, car, etc. The instructions have pictures on how to build it into a crane truck. The red smart star receiver block is removable as well (so you can place it anywhere on the base) and the smallest blocks can be entered in and the truck will read what is on the block. Most of the blocks have construction-related pictures (tools, measuring tape, nails, construction cone, etc.) which my kiddo loved. We can learn together, as I can show him the block and ask what it is and he can put the block in to see if hes right. The sounds are engaging - a few songs. He LOVES that it says WA-HOO! repeatedly and has started saying it all the time which is cute. As a downside, he LOVES putting the blocks in and out, but it a bit tricky for him to get them out. You have to stick your finger in the bottom lip to pull them out. His younger sister (almost 2) cant really get them out by herself and gets frustrated. So I would keep that in mind if youre shopping for a younger toddler. Overall this toy has been a big hit and is a favorite. I only wish (and DESPERATELY wish) it came with some sort of storage for the blocks, especially considering these blocks are not interchangeable with the widely available mega blocks.

Leapfrog wants to put electronics into every toy, but they dont all need it. Building blocks to make vehicles for playing with are great, lets leave it at that.

This is a great playset for littles who love tech toys and building. Great start into education in engineering! The smart blocks are really cool, with so many educational but fun opportunities.

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.
