LeapFrog LeapBuilders 123 Fix-It Truck, Multicolor

I like the blocks. The scanner that tells you whats on the block is pretty cool. I dont understand why the number blocks are two sided with different numbers on both sides!! If youre using these to learn numbers, you should have the numbers on one side and something to reinforce the number on the other. (One side should have 10 and the other should have 10 nails. There are 15 double-sided blocks so it would have been so easy to have 1 to 10 on ten blocks instead of five double-sided blocks. It makes it so much harder to use as a toy to help teach numbers. If you ask your child to find the 8, its a lot harder if your kid has to turn blocks around to find the eight. You cant put 1-10 in order. Its just awkward and weird since you have 15 interactive blocks! I want to use this for building, but I want to use it for learning too. It gets so close, but its marred by a glaring defect. Im still giving it three stars because they are nice blocks. I just dont really suggest it, so maybe I should be giving it two stars.

Perfect compliment to the basic set of blocks

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.

This is a brightly colored building set with lots and lots of pieces that can be put together in different ways. It presents challenges and well as opportunities for creativity. It is also good for building vocabulary. Its clearly a Leapfrog toy and should provide many hours of learning and play.
