LeapFrog Touch Magic Learning Bus - $32.90

Helps Small Children Learn the Alphabet and Vocabulary

Through dedicated games or letter exploration mode, the Magic Learning Bus teaches children the relationship between sounds in spoken words and the letters that represent those sounds. These exercises children begin to read independently. When the Learning Bus is in letter exploration mode, tapping each letter plays an audible explanation of the letter's name, the sound it makes, and a word that starts with it. Your child can also choose to play a game that asks them to identify certain letters or pictures. The board has more than 40 interactive touch points.

Musical Activities Add a Creative Rhythm to the Learning

The Learning Bus's music mode gives any play session a musical background. It includes catchy sing-along songs about the alphabet, motion, and more. Your child can jam on the piano or on the two wheels that double as drums, playing along with a song or creating their own melody.

Animal Musicians Play Along

While a song is playing on the Learning Bus, your child can touch any of the five animal characters to prompt them to play their respective instruments. There's a penguin with a tambourine, a turtle on tuba, a monkey playing drums, a tiger with an electric guitar, and a bunny bus driver that sings backup vocals.

Operating the Learning Bus

Our testers found the LeapFrog Touch Magic Learning Bus extremely easy to operate, just as you'd hope a toy for children as young as two would be. As with many children's toys, be aware that this one produces a lot of sound during play. There are only two volume settings, and the lower one isn't necessarily "quiet."
