When it comes to musical instruments, the drum is arguably one of the easiest to play: just give it a smack. Fortunately, LeapFrog has created a drum that’s sure to provide ongoing delight. It’s an electronic instrument with four different settings. When set to “ABC,” each pat of the drum displays a letter on the drum’s top while a friendly voice says the letter out loud. The letters are sequential, so the drummer learns the alphabet. The “123″ option works in a similar way. There are also options for musical notes and a traditional drum sound. An off control and two volume settings will be welcomed by parents who are sure to hear this drum being played with repeatedly. If the young drummer pauses for a while, the friendly voice plays a little song or asks to be played with again. –John Moe
Product Description:
Bang, beat and tap this interactive drum that introduces babies and toddlers to the alphabet and counting from 1-10! As baby taps, letters, numbers and patterns flash on the top of the drum. Listen to different drum sounds, and play one of four great learning modes that include: ABC, 123, Interactive Song and Follow the Beat.
My kids have played with this toy for hours. A bit annoying for adults, it does have volume control. It’s not very educational, but it’s a TOY. Buy them a calculator if you want education.
This is my #1 gift for all babies on my list. I even have fun playing it - they first hit it accidentally & get a reaction then the real fun begins. The letters (or number) appear with each hit & the sound isn’t too loud that it scares them. I’ve gotten rave reviews from everyone I’ve given it to. They even have a Spanish version!
I love this drum! My brother bought this for my daughter when she was about 10 months old. We still have it and she just turned 3. This is definately a toy that will grow with your child. It was fun and entertaining when she was an infant. As a toddler, she counted and sang along. Great ABC teacher!
LeapFrog Rocks! by Teacher/Mother I received this drum as a shower gift before my daughter was even born from an insightful mother of two. Even as a baby, my daughter enjoyed watching me play it and started to learn the reward of banging the drum herself. She still enjoys playing this educational toy at the age of 2 1/2. I am so impressed with the entire line of LeapFrog products. (We own many of them!)
