VIP CLUB READER REVIEW:

Leapfrog Speak and Learn Puppy Written by Hayley Illing.

Suitable for little ones 12 months+, the Speak & Learn Puppy™ is an interactive toy that engages with little ones learning to talk by repeating what they say, having conversations, and creating short stories with the child. My 13-month-old daughter absolutely loves this puppy. From the moment she first saw her, Bailey has been a hit! The fur on this puppy is super soft and lovely to touch, and definitely passes the hug-ability test. So far it’s standing up to day to day use too - ours has been carried about by the ears, dropped numerous times, dribbled on, and had the light-up collar button pressed about a million times but it is still in perfect working order. The 3 different learning levels are a great feature. We are currently using level one which plays some simple games such as repeat the sounds and counting games. I

love that it also touches on phonics at such an early age by asking the child to repeat the sound a letter makes, and then gives them a word that begins with that letter. The recording function means that the puppy can repeat back your child’s speech to them. My daughter finds this really engaging, as does my 5 year old son who loves to record himself saying funny things and hearing Bailey repeat them in her squeaky voice! Bailey will also sing songs and wiggle her ears along to the music. Overall I now love this toy as much as my daughter and would happily recommend it. Buy from Argos and Smyths Toys: £36.99
