That being said, her day nursery has been wonderful at encouraging her with letters, numbers and shapes.

Popping it on and carrying it around the house, taking it in the car and even out to restaurants when we have been out for the day. Piglet has very much a hands-on learning style so we like to try to select things that will allow her to learn through play rather than being too structured and possibly causing her to become bored or frustrated when she isn’t able to complete an activity. as real users, posing a threat to a site’s security, so the site sometimes runs random security checks. With Piglet recently receiving the Leapfrog Mr Pencil’s Alphabet Backpack to help her with her letter sounds, recognition and creation. We have found that Leapfrog offers a wide range of educational yet fun activity toys for preschoolers.Letter Zoo– Press a letter piece into its puzzle spot to hear the letter name, letter sound and an animal that begins with that letter.

With the Mr Pencil stylus is attached to the backpack on a string so no worries about that going astray on the many travels. The Mr Pencil’s Alphabet Backpack, for example, has seven different activities for Piglet to utilise. Activities such as the ‘mystery word’ will become more relevant to her as she makes her way through preschool and even into reception class.

However, at age three and a half, she is not educationally ready to make the most of some of these activities – although she still loves to try to interact with them. One that will be utilised time and time again, learning through play listening to letter sounds, letter forming on the drawing pad and even some funky songs too. Letter Animals– Follow the animations to learn how to turn letters into animals using the stylus pencil and writing board. One of the things that I love about Leapfrog toys is their ability to grow with the child that is utilising the toy.
