"We had tremendous success with our Scoop & Learn Ice Cream Cart™ last year, which was part of our LeapFrog infant, toddler and preschool collection," said Andy Keimach, President, VTech Electronics North America, LeapFrog's parent company. "The toys in this year's line feature the same rich, curriculum-based learning parents are looking for while offering fun, engaging content to support growthful experiences for kids."

LeapFrog infant and preschool toys create a foundation for future success by exposing children to important early skills such as vocabulary, letters and numbers. For example, the Learning Friends 100 Words Book™ allows toddlers to touch words on each page to explore new vocabulary and fun facts in both English and Spanish. With the new Safari Learning Station™, children can explore first words, numbers, shapes, colors and more in a robust activity center that adjusts and grows with the child. To help encourage a love of reading, kids can snuggle up with Storytime Buddy™, an interactive friend that builds reading skills through five stories. Finally, kids can go on a learning adventure with the Go-with-Me ABC Backpack™ as they learn the letters of the alphabet and how to write them with Mr. Pencil.

Little learners can play seven different activities, and when they're done, the plastic backpack holds all the pieces inside.
