Leapfrog Alphabet Pal is the type of toy that your kids will pick up and play for a long while then go back to a few days later, he is made of hard purple plastic and is about 15 inches long he has a moving head and flashing antennae when in use and his name is eddison. O boy can he be annoying ! but the kids love him.
My son is 3 and he had this for xmas last year and i paid £15 for him at the time, its a fun educational toy that leapfrog does so well introduces them to the alphabet the pronounciations, colours, nursery rhymes and generally chatters along as your children play with him and press on his coloured legs.
He has a bright yellow cord so he can be pulled along behind them it is very tough and has been bounced on ceramic tiles many many times and never came to any harm, the batteries seem to last forever in leapfrog toys and in the 15 months we have had eddison we have only changed the batteries once as they were supplied with the toy when purchased.
This makes a perfect educational gift and is often found in the reduced section in argos when they have sales so even more of a bargain then, can and have recommended this toy to friends toddlers will enjoy learning.
