LeapFrog Amazing Alphabet and Numbers Ahoy DVD Review

Years ago I bought my daughters the LeapFrog reading system. I always thought that the LeapFrog brand always came out with some very cool products because they were always focused on “learning”. If you are going to buy your child a toy, why not let them teach them something, right? Well Lionsgate Home Entertainment and LeapFrog have teamed up and released 2 new DVD’s last month that my 3 year old son just LOVES.

Since my son does watch TV (and maybe a bit too much), I try to put on shows that are educational. Thankfully, he is 3 and happens to LOVE all the shows that encourage learning in them. My son can be picky too. He doesn’t just watch anything I put in, it has to have action! We recently received both of the new LeapFrog DVD’s that came out last month for review. Since he had never seen a LeapFrog video prior to this one, I was watching his reaction hoping that he liked it. When he didn’t tell me no and watched at least 15 minutes without budging, I knew he liked it.

Out of the two, my son’s favorite is the LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy. I am not sure if he likes it because he can say frog and numbers or that maybe he just happens to think it is better. This is a cute video about Tad, Lily and Scout’s number skills pirate adventure. They need help getting through a game and their magical firefly friend takes them on a fantastical journey under the sea. When their puppy is captured, they must use their number skills to help rescue him. Since my son LOVES dogs, this also might be why he wants to watch this DVD so often.

The second LeapFrog video that he has been watching is the LeapFrog: The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park. In this DVD, Tad, Lily and Scout’s firefly friend takes them on an adventure to the place of their childhood dreams Alistair Alphabelly’s Amazing Amusement Park. When they arrive, they find the park is CLOSED. While they are there, they firefly friend Edison gets himself stuck at the top of the ferris wheel. The only way to save their friend is to turn on the rides in the park with the magic of the alphabet. Now the children must learn all of the letters, big and small, to save their friend, save the day and perhaps even meet the rhyme master himself, Alistair Alphabelly!

I recommend both of these LeapFrog DVDs to those with children ages 3 to 6. These definitely help with the learning of both the alphabet and your basic numbers.
