Provide early exposure to phonics basics, early vocabulary and more while encouraging gross and fine motor skill development. AlphaPup sings three learning songs as your child walks him along. The songs stop when your child stops, and then plays when your child walks, to make walking a musical and fun play experience. Little fingers can press colorful buttons to hear letters A to Z sounded out, words that begin with each letter and fun phrases that include these words. Press the letter W, for example, and hear “W! Walk! I love going on walks with you!” Connecting letters with their names and sounds are important first steps on the road to reading and spelling.

AlphaPup makes learning meaningful and fun by responding to your child’s actions. Eager new walkers have a pal to cheer them on, or children can have a seat and switch between songs and learning modes as often as they desire. Pressing buttons produces a range of playful and curricular audio surprises that children can control by pressing favorite buttons again and again. As children grow, they can also begin to make new connections, such as linking printed letters with their names and sounds.

Bright interactive buttons, wobbly paw-shaped wheels, floppy ears and a tail that wags make AlphaPup a truly delightful and lovable learning companion. Children can press a doggie button to hear cute dog phrases and a music note button to play three learning and fun songs, or simply pull AlphaPup along for a combination of pretend play, musical and physical fun.

“Research shows that knowing the alphabet is an important first step to learning to read. We designed the AlphaPup as a learning pal to expose children to letter names and sounds as they exercise walking and pulling on the toy. AlphaPup builds learning right into engaging physical and pretend play. ” – The LeapFrog Learning Team.

Every baby develops at their own pace, and Smart Stages technology gives you the ability to select the stage that’s best for your child! There are a variety of developmentally appropriate songs, phrases and sounds within three levels of play – just slide the switch or enter baby’s age for automatic level changes. Level 1 – Explore – 12M+: Spark curiosity with busy activations! Sit and stand to hear simple words like, “Up; down. ” Or press the buttons to hear songs and phrases like, “One, two, three, four. ” Level 2 – Encourage – 18M+: This level expands on the introduction of numbers, opposites, actions and more by encouraging baby to get involved. Flip through the book to hear prompts like, “Do you see the carrots?” Level 3 – Pretend – 24M+: Let’s play some more! Older babies can engage in imaginative play, hopping like a froggy, exploring different remote channels and playing peek-a-boo.

Songs, phrases and sounds introduce numbers, shapes, opposites, colors and more. Busy activities like turning the book pages, pressing the remote control buttons or lifting the seat cushion introduce cause and effect. Stand up and sit down to hear fun rewards – and to encourage gross motor skills and coordination.

Lift the chair seat – what do you find? Talk about what you might find hiding in your own chair or couch! A cookie? Mom’s keys? Maybe a blankie? The possibilities are endless!

With Clifford Ready-to-Read children practice rhyming, identifying letters and matching letters to the sounds they make—skills that are related to, and may even help predict, a child’s later success with reading and writing. At higher levels children do word-building activities and benefit from recognizing how some words such as dig, pig and wig share common spelling patterns. As children begin to notice these patterns, they can more easily predict how to read or spell new words that they encounter, such as fig or rig.

Young preschoolers (age 3+) engage differently than their older counterparts, so LeapFrog develops content experiences to meet their specific learning needs. Clifford Ready-to-Read features simple gameplay designed to promote engagement with young audiences, including one-step directions, voiceovers and icons that light up to enable pre-readers to learn and play independently. Four mini-games are presented with easy-to-follow graphics. Gameplay begins at one of three learning levels that is personalized to the player’s age, and levels up or down based on each individual child’s performance, ensuring that the games are just right for each child who plays. Children can level down if they need more support, allowing the youngest players to explore at a comfortable challenge level.

For over 50 years, Clifford has been inspiring kids to learn and love to read. As one of the BIGGEST, most beloved and most iconic characters, Clifford uses humor and adventure to engage children in fun learning activities, so it’s no wonder he has found a home in LeapFrog’s learning library. When it comes to early literacy and reading, Clifford is top dog! With over 130 million books sold and one of the longest running kids programs on TV, Clifford is embraced by millions of parents, teachers and kids for his relatable stories and BIG heart.

All LeapFrog educational games are created or approved by an in-house team of learning experts for the most effective, age-appropriate learning experience. With Clifford Ready-to-Read, children practice rhyming, identifying letters and matching letters to the sounds they make—skills that help children succeed at reading and writing—in mini-games created by learning experts. Each mini-game uses innovative play patterns that reinforce understanding of letters and sounds. For example, children are prompted to build letters out of shapes, which develops early letter recognition and letter formation skills. They also take photos of rhyming objects, since research shows that children who are better at identifying rhymes and individual sounds in words often learn to read more quickly. This is because, as children recognize that rhyming words have the same ending sounds, they begin to notice that many rhyming words also share spelling patterns, which can help children learn how to read and spell. These educational mini-games feature more than 250 rounds of gameplay and a fun and educational reward: kids can earn 10 different stories for Clifford’s bookshelf, which they can then practice reading independently or with help from Emily Elizabeth.
