LeapFrog LeapBuilders 123 Fix-It Truck, Multicolor

Smart building blocks set consists of 15 learning blocks and 16 building pieces. It has 100+ learning phrases and sounds, helps learn numbers, colors and objects. It requires 2 AAA. Its fun, engaging and promotes creativity. Easy for little ones to grip and built on their own. I recommend it.

This is a really great engaging toy that my son (almost 3) has had so much fun with already. The pieces are similar to your basic large building block. The base of the truck has 4 wheels and just a tray for them to build on, so they can use their creativity to make it any type of vehicle: truck, car, etc. The instructions have pictures on how to build it into a crane truck. The red smart star receiver block is removable as well (so you can place it anywhere on the base) and the smallest blocks can be entered in and the truck will read what is on the block. Most of the blocks have construction-related pictures (tools, measuring tape, nails, construction cone, etc.) which my kiddo loved. We can learn together, as I can show him the block and ask what it is and he can put the block in to see if hes right. The sounds are engaging - a few songs. He LOVES that it says WA-HOO! repeatedly and has started saying it all the time which is cute. As a downside, he LOVES putting the blocks in and out, but it a bit tricky for him to get them out. You have to stick your finger in the bottom lip to pull them out. His younger sister (almost 2) cant really get them out by herself and gets frustrated. So I would keep that in mind if youre shopping for a younger toddler. Overall this toy has been a big hit and is a favorite. I only wish (and DESPERATELY wish) it came with some sort of storage for the blocks, especially considering these blocks are not interchangeable with the widely available mega blocks.

He likes this because he is building with blocks like his big brother and he is learning. He can now tell me what each number is, I was surprised that just this toy would help him to learn so easily. The truck and blocks are well-made and colorful.

Item was exactly as described

This is a great toy. It encompasses use of hands and thoughts to build and has an interactive aspect not found in ordinary building toys. Im beginning to think the same voice is used across a spectrum of toy brands. Im sure kids find it fine but as an adult I think I would find the voice grating. I like the learning aspect and the combining of electronics with hand and motor skills.

This is an excellent learning toy and is very versatile in what can be built. It has several phrases and can identify letters, numbers, and pictures of various blocks. The sound can be adjusted to a high or low setting and it isnt a toy that has become annoying at all. Great for building vocabulary, both literally and figuratively. Also uses problem solving skills and role playing. At the time of this review the retail price was around $25 which is reasonable for the quality.

My Grandkids love these builders so interactive

The LeapFrog Fix-It Truck is a really neat building toy. The way that the individual blocks can be clicked into the reader unit and then it talks to the kid about the picture on the block is neat. And an older kid can have fun learning about how the notches on the top of the block are read by the unit. The blocks and truck itself can be configured in a bunch of different ways, including making a type of crane with the pictured blocks. The blocks are nicely colored, holding up well to significant kid abuse, and nicely sized for a kid who isnt quite ready for small-block Legos yet.

Cute. My son liked it a lot but got bored after like a week bc there arent many blocks and you cant connect them with megablocks or anything

This is so fun and so versitle for multiple ages. Our son loves it and it makes a great gift.
