Hug & Learn Baby Tad
© 1999 LeapFrog
Babies as young as ten months fell in love with Baby Tad. While not nearly as sophisticated as the Teletubbies Actimates, the soft, huggable 12 inch frog was a hit with baby and toddler testers. They particularly liked pressing his hand to hear the six songs and enjoyed experimenting with the shape "buttons" on his chest. Pushing Tad's hand and chest could have been somewhat easier but within a couple of days, even the youngest testers were successful. Tad's music and voice quality is not quite on par with the Actimates but babies and toddlers didn't seem to mind. Young children will enjoy cuddling with this musical frog. (This product is sold by both LeapFrog and LeapFrog School House.)
