Read With Me Scout from LeapFrog

As a mom, I hope for three things when my children play. I want them to be fully engaged and immersed in imaginative play. I want my children to use their creativity. And finally, I want my children to learn. The high-quality toys and products from LeapFrog help my children do all three. We have been fans of LeapFrog for years, so I jumped at the chance to review the all new Read with Me Scout! (This is our THIRD Scout toy, and I can already tell he will be as loved as the first two!)

Read With Me Scout is interactive, lovable, and engaging. Your child can sit and enjoy one of five included storybooks, while Scout reads to them, stopping to ask questions along the way. He also sings, responds to touch, and is super cuddly. At bedtime, you can switch modes, and your child can fall asleep to several minutes of lullabies.

Moms, meet Read with Me Scout from LeapFrog, an interactive plush toy that helps children develop reading comprehension skills to get them on a path to reading. Not only does puppy pal Scout make reading fun with five interactive stories that he reads aloud, but he also responds to every pet, pat, hug and kiss! Simply press a button on his collar to start reading and pat his head to turn the page. Scout will ask your child questions throughout each story to create engaging learning moments and help build comprehension skills. Scout loves to sing, too! Switch into Sleepy Time Mode when it’s time to snuggle and listen to relaxing stories and eight minutes of lullabies.

We were able to give our three year old son Read With Me Scout for his birthday. As soon as he opened the bag, he shouted, “My puppy!” When he discovered that Scout read books AND sang songs….he was hooked! Each of the five board books is developmentally appropriate for kids ages 2-5 (although I think this is the ideal toy for toddlers/young preschoolers), and talks about a different concept. I am excited for Harry to learn and read along with Scout, growing in comprehension and early reading skills without even knowing it! This toy has a lot of bang for its buck, and facilitates learning through play.
