LeapFrog Fridge Farm Magnetic Animal Set
LeapFrog Fridge Farm Magnetic Animal Set Reviews
My 2-year old received this as a gift for her birthday. She loves it. At first, her favorite part was just pressing the “Farmer Leap” button so that she could dance to the music, but then she realized that it was a “puzzle” and started putting animal pieces in. I thought it would be great because even if she got the wrong animals put together, it would still sing a “silly” song for her. But to my surprise, she only likes to put the animals together the correct way. My 4-year old, however, thinks its funny to put the animals together the incorrect way. They both love it, and the 4-year old enjoys listening to the animal facts – even though she knew most of them already. They also like to carry it around like it’s a portable radio, and listen to the music and dance.
For those parents that might be concerned as I was, about the strength of the magnets holding up the weight of this toy on the fridge – don’t worry! It really sticks well! I thought it would be falling off constantly, but unless the kids are REALLY yanking/pushing/pulling on it, it stays put. Yet, the handle makes it easy enough for them to remove by themselves if they want to take it elsewhere. Also, it has two levels of volume.
Our family loves this toy!
I bought this toy for my then-16-month old son who loves to play with magnets on the fridge. This set comes with five animals in two pieces, head and tail, per animal. What I liked about this toy is that it reinforces when a match has been made, BUT if a child isn’t developmentally able to do that yet, it makes up a name for the animal the child has “created” by mismatching the tail and head (for example, a “sheep-cow”). I liked that it saw a mismatch as silly rather than wrong… good for very little ones who have low frustration levels. This is a quality toy, with clear sound and easy-to-grasp pieces… I’m a picky person when it comes to toys, and I highly recommend this one!
