A NOT annoying musical baby toy

by Stacy Kravitz

leap-frog.jpgIt’s no secret that most parents remove the batteries from those horrific god-awful muzakal baby toys at some point on their way out the door to the looney bin. You can imagine the look of thanks-but-you-shouldn’t-have that crosses my face when we get a new baby toy that makes any sort of sound. But! We just got a toy that I LIKE. A LOT.

Leap Frog’s Baby Counting Pal PLUSH
is really cool. I like the songs it plays. They are cute and catchy and I’m totally walking around singing one little birdie flying through the air, one little birdie goes tweet tweet tweet. This right here is true evidence of what parenthood does to your brain. My brain used to entertain me by recalling and singing to itself Springsteen and Maroon 5, but now? Now?! Five little lady bugs meet for lunch, five little lady bugs, crunch crunch crunch.

But seriously folks, this toy is non-offensive. I would even call it pleasant. Enjoyable! It has four different settings, it will count, sing songs, and sing about colors and numbers. It also has a classical music memory game that I have yet to master.

This toy also has velcro straps so that it can attach to the front of a carseat or stroller. It’s amazingly versatile. The songs are pleasant. READ: NOT ANNOYING. Noah loves it and it’s small and compact for easy transport from the car to the playroom.

The age recommendation is three to twenty-four months.
FINAL ANALYSIS: Highly recommend.

About Parent Extremis

Why are so many children unhealthy or apathetic or abused or illiterate or uncontrolled? That's why parents are desperate to try something new from the start. You're at the right place if the subject is home birth or homeschooling, attachment or separation, circumcision or vaccinations, natural remedies or television, gentle parenting or authoritative parenting, discipline or freedom.
