 What a Wonderful toy! December 22, 2007
Karen (Oregon)
I bought this for four-month-old grandson and gave it to him early last night when he was fussy...talk about an instant distraction. His eyes grew wide; he started batting it, got a reaction, batted some more. He was excited, focused, enthused, delighted. After about 10 minutes of intense concentration playing, he had "sensory overload" according to his mom. That's when 3-year-old grandson and my husband began to play with it.
Grandson listened to, then started singing along with the alphabet song, looking to each of us for affirmation - so proud of himself, so thrilled to learn. My husband "discovered" the 3 settings and started playing the individual alphabet songs. I even looked up the lyrics to one of the upbeat songs, Wait for the Wagon (for the letter W)- written 1851. Then he and the boy pressed the alphabet letters to make the sounds of each and repeat. I had no idea what all this ball could do when I bought it - it's pure magic, wonderfully entertaining and provides a wealth of diverse fun and educational activities to bring joy and smiles to old and young alike.
The individual buttons may be slightly difficult for little fingers to press, but that's what parents (and grandparents)are for - to become involved and share in learning and *Discovery* with their children. Love this toy, can't wait to return Christmas day and maybe I'll get it all to myself, although I'm kind of looking forward to playing with the remote control train.
Great for babies learning to sit! December 11, 2007
Julie O. (Fishers, IN United States)
This toy was the BEST when my son was learning to sit up by himself. We would put the Discovery Ball in front of him and he could grab it and spin it, and it would make noises! He absolutely loved this toy.
Once he started crawling and being more mobile, it wasn't so interesting anymore - but I believe it served it's purpose.
Loved it as baby and still loves it 4 years later!!! December 7, 2007
Blanca E. Phelps (Cherry Point, NC)
I got this one, but the spansih version, for my daughter when she was about six months old. She just turned 5 years old and she still loves it! As a baby, I would roll it to her and she would "catch" it. She loved listening to the alphabet song. Now that is in kindergarten, she still loves to listen to the Spanish alphabet and sings along with it. It is very educational and I highly recommend it to anyone regardless of English or Spanish version. This is one of the best toys ever!!!
The Discovery Ball is a favorite for all ages!! November 29, 2007
Mary Lee Kuebler (Norcross, GA United States)
LeapFrog Discovery Ball
I got this for my Grandson turning 1 year old. He loves it as does his 3 year old brother, and all of his brother's friends. It looks like a real hit with preschool kids of all ages.
Grandma can't go wrong with this one. November 26, 2007
Joyce Iannaccone (Blairstown, NJ United States)
My grandson loves this toy. I put it in his high chair while I feed him and he gets the biggest kick out of knocking it down so I can pick it up. It is extremely durable and he loves the music. He has had it for about 3 months and it is still his favorite toy. He is 9 months old. My friend saw him with it and hurried to buy her new grandson one. I don't know if it will make him a genius but I know he loves it. And think of the exercise you'll get!
