Little Leaps Learning System
Time for another great toy suggestion!! This week’s fun filled suggestion is the Little Leaps Grow With Me Learning System. Alex has had this since Christmas of last year and it really does grow with his needs. At first he’d simply sit with me and watch the video’s with rapt attention, pointing out the animals (which are his favorite) and occasionally making sounds that have grown ever closer to the actual names of the animals themselves. Then he’d stand at the coffee table and shake his groove thing (If you’re wondering where your groove thing is located, simply stand with your back to mirror, look over your shoulder, and wiggle. The part that shakes the most is your groove thing.) every time the opening credits came on. Now a days he’s actually starting to hit the buttons based on when the videos tell him to. If you’re not familiar with the Learning System here’s the basic idea. The little leaps controller, which looks like this:
Works right along with your DVD player, and when the video asks, your child hits one of the buttons to make the video progress. It’s really a lot simpler than it sounds, and you can buy dvds for kids 6 months and older, 9 months and older, and so on up to preschool age and beyond.
The best thing about the Grow With Me System in my opinion? It will coordinate with up to three different DVDs, which means you can take it along to Grandma’s or the babysitters, or anywhere else your little one might enjoy visting. Makes for a relatively small take along toy that offers hours of entertainment.
The video also introduces basic words, colors, numbers, and concepts such as sharing and friendship. It’s a great way to teach your child without letting them know they are learning anything in the process. All of the major baby and toy stores sell the Little Leaps Grow With Me Learning System, so it’s easy to find, and even easier to use.
Now get on out there and learn something already!
