Hop on board for fun with the alphabet, early vocabulary, motor skills and learning songs!
The Touch Magic Learning Bus brings a world of learning to life with the touch of a finger. By touching any of the 26 alphabet letters, your child can hear the letter name, the letter sound, 26 words that start with the letter, and a sound associated with that word. By sliding your finger across the bus and tapping the letters, animals or instruments, your child can play and learn on his own! Or they may sing along to Wheels on the Bus, The ABC Song, and the Rockin School Bus!

Meet your new friends on the bus!
With the new Touch Magic Learning Bus, meet five new friends! Rabbit drives the bus and is on lead vocals, while Tiger strums the guitar! Monkey keeps the rhythm with his hands and his feet, Turtle rocks his tuba, and Penguin, who keeps the bus fun with his tambourine. They don’t just play instruments, they talk! Touch Turtle to hear him say, “Pick up the Tuba, get ready to blow, just cus you’re a turtle, you don’t have to play it slow!” The Touch Magic Learning Bus is teaches letter names and sounds: To read independently, children must understand the relationship between the sounds in spoken words and the letters that represent those sounds. Teaches early vocabulary: Children expand their listening vocabulary by matching pictures to words. Teaches music: Making and listening to music can increase a child’s creativity as well as support language, math, and physical development. Teaches animals: Children can begin to categorize animals by species, imitate their sounds and learn interesting facts about them.

Learning Starts Here!
“Research shows a strong link between knowing the alphabet and learning to read. We designed the Touch Magic Learning Bus to provide a good foundation for your child’s future phonics learning. The Learning Bus helps children learn about letter names and the relationship between letters and sounds – crucial steps on the road to reading.” -Carolyn James, Educational Expert and Learning Designer at LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS Nothing says exploring more than being in the great outdoors! Around dusk, grab your lantern and head outside. Find a spot to star gaze and look for constellations in the night sky. After your search, turn on your lantern and make your way back inside to draw constellation pictures. THE GREAT INDOORS Set up some blankets on the floor in your bedroom. If you have a small tent and your parent’s permission, set up the tent inside your room for some added fun! Invite some friends over, grab some tasty snacks, and pretend you are camping out. Turn off the lights, maybe tell a spooky story or two, and have your Starry Night Lantern nearby to shine a bright light! Want to see the stars? Switch on the Star Field and gaze into the night sky –in your own room!
