I *heart* Leapfrog. Their products are educational, fun, smart and appeal to kids and parents alike. Leapfrog recently released two new DVDs to their growing Learning DVD collection – Numbers Ahoy and The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park – which arrived just in time for sickness to hit our household and were the perfect solution to our home-from-school days.
Numbers Ahoy, geared for ages 3-6yrs, follows Tad, Lily and their firefly friend Edison on an underwater adventure to learn about number recognition, counting, estimating, grouping numbers and other math concepts. The trio works together to take on all kind of deep sea foes (even Pirate Pythagoras!) while they learn about numbers. The 35-minute video also includes a number of bonus features like sing-a-long songs and clips on short vowel sounds. My kids had a blast watching this one and the underwater pirate theme was a hit with my boys.
The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park is aimed at kids 2-5 years old and introduces them to alphabet including upper and lower case letters as Tad, Lily and their dog Scout visit Alistair Alphabelly’s Amazing Amusement Park. The friends have to use the alphabet in order to save their friend Edison who has gotten stuck on a ferris wheel. The 39-minute movie also includes Alistair Alphabelly, the rhyme master, who helps kids learn more about letters through rhyming. Bonus features again include sing-a-longs and a short on short vowels.
Whether you’re battling one of the many bugs going around or trying to make it through one more snow day, Numbers Ahoy and The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park will keep your kids entertained – and learning!
Each movie is $14.98 and can be purchased at Leapfrog.com and various other retailers.

February 19, 2011 at 12:39 pmI first purchased the Leapfrog dvds when my 2nd son now 9 was 3yrs old and he loved them!! He enjoyed the music and fun characters while reinforcing alphabet and number skills. My youngest son who just turned 4 started watching the videos about a year ago and loves them too. I have since bought 2 more dvds – Let’s Go To School and Math Blasters. After watching a Leapfrog dvd I will hear him singing one of the songs. We have a long pathway in our backyard he calls the learning path which he picked up from Let’s Go To School. It is very sweet. I am excited to get these new dvds for my son. 🙂

Megan says
February 21, 2011 at 5:16 pmI love Leapfrog DVDs! My son is not a conventional learner, so trying to teach him the letter sounds was next to impossible, because he had no attention span for the apparently boring way I was teaching him! I bought the Letter Factory and Talking Words Factory, and he watched them over and over and was right on track for Kindergarten. Looking forward to checking out the new ones!!
Diana says
February 22, 2011 at 10:40 amMy daughter would love this!

Kiy says
February 22, 2011 at 7:26 pmLeapfrog is a mainstay in our household. DVDs, games, you name it. My daughter knows the letters in “Leapfrog” and their logo. No box is safe coming into this house, she inspects each and every one of them, just in case!
Colette says

Karina says
February 22, 2011 at 9:31 pmWe love Leapfrog. My son turns 4 on the 28th and all he has asked for is more Leapfrog games, leaplets and leapfrog movies. We started leapfrog products with him a year ago, and they work so well. He has his ABCs down and can sound out words now. His math skills need a bit of help. My 2 year old wants to watch the movies and play the games. And she is really trying to get those ABCs memorized. We would love to see the new movies!
Ron Miller says

Holly W says
February 22, 2011 at 10:44 pmWe too are a huge fan of Leapfrog. Being a mom of a wild, almost 4 year old boy, Letter Factory and Math to the Moon have been life savers with teaching him and I am really hoping they will help prepare him for kindergarten that is just around the corner! I can’t wait to check out these 2 new dvds! As always, Leapfrog never ceases to amaze!
Laura Nelson says
February 22, 2011 at 10:58 pmMy two sons love to play with the different leapfrog products. We have the word factory dvd that me son has learned to put letters together and read different words. He also likes the tag books. I think it is helping him to learn how to read. My youngest son likes the letters that you can hang on the fridge and they make the sounds of the letters and sings the alphabet song. It would be great to get some educational tools for numbers.
Windy P says

February 23, 2011 at 12:44 amLove love love the Leapfrog DVDs! My daughter literally calls out for Math Circus! And she loves the Letter Factory and Talking Words Factory too. For awhile it took the number 1 requested DVD spot away from Dora. Thanks in large part to these DVD’s, at 2 years 8 months she is already doing simple basic adding and subtracting and can count easily to 10 and kind of to 20 and she know her letters and early word construction!

Gerrie Walton says
February 23, 2011 at 6:06 amI am a kindergarten teacher. I bought all the leapfrog DVDs for my granddaughter. I am very happy with these DVDs my granddaughter is 2 she knows all the letters of the alphabet and can identify them out of order. She know most of the sounds and can count to twenty and identifies some numbers. I have recommend these DVDs to some of my parents. I would love another set to share with my parents.
Cheryl Robbins says
February 23, 2011 at 7:47 amMy 2 boys use multiple Leapfrog products. My oldest son is in Kindergarten, and his teacher uses the Letter Factory video with his class – they all love it. My 3 year old could really benefit from these 2 new DVD’s.
