LeapFrog LeapBuilders 123 Fix-It Truck, Multicolor

My 2 year loves it he plays with it all the time

I love stuff like this in the sense that if you have a kid who likes to figure stuff out, be creative and just have fun thinking/building, you got a pure win. This product is pretty fun, and can entertain your kid if thats what he/she is into. For me personally the product doesnt matter unless your kid approves of it, so Id think about what type of interests your son or daughter has then move forward with honing in on that. For me, this is a great product if you dont have video games distracting them. A real, real world, way to have fun.

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.

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.

Lovely

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.

Amazing learning toy

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.

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.

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