With that, Scout was ready to be introduced to Benjamin.

I chose a few of the new songs that were listed and then just picked a few songs at random as well. I immediately chose cheese for Benjamin’s favourite food and a dog for the animal (though cats are a close second) but Benjamin’s a little young to understand the concept of a favourite colour so I just decided to choose blue.įinally, I had the option of choosing five daytime songs and five nighttime songs that Scout would play and sing at different times.

After that I was able to choose special details about my son like his favourite colour, food and animal. I just typed in my son’s name and the computer gave me an available audio file to listen to so that I could make sure the name was right. Once my LeapFrog Connect program detected the toy, I was able to quickly and easily set up My Pal Scout with personalized information just for my baby.

When the toy arrived, the first thing I noticed was that I had to connect the toy to my computer with the included USB cable. My children have a more dated LeapFrog toy called Baby Tad that follows the same general concept, but My Pal Scout is definitely far more advanced than the older models and I couldn’t wait to see what he could do. My Pal Scout is an adorable plush toy puppy that plays music, talks and sings songs. I got the chance to find out when my youngest son Benjamin received My Pal Scout to review. Zackary was an enthusiastic tester, but I was really curious about whether or not LeapFrog’s products for babies and toddlers would be as fun and educational as their toys for preschoolers and older children. Until recently, however, most of the toys I had reviewed were meant for older children. LeapFrog is a company that has a great understanding of both how kids learn and how kids have fun and that understanding means that my kids love LeapFrog toys as much as I do. I have reviewed a few of the wonderful educational toys from LeapFrog since I first started blogging and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
