Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Discovery Ball
Customer Review: Great toy for infants to toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my nephew's favorite toy so I also got it for my granddaughter. She was pretty impressed by it at 14 months. It has a lot of variety, incredible really---I am sure that this gizmo will be rolling around for many years to come.Customer Review: great item
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a very good item! my son has grown to love this, he even loved playing with is as a ball when he takes it off its base, now he 3 and my other son is 9 months and he is even starting to play with it. Customer Review: I'm torn with this toy ...
Summary: 3 Stars
I love LeapFrog toys. In theory, this toy seems great. But, a baby that's 6 months old obviously isn't going to learn her ABC's. Even a 1-year old isn't going to learn her ABC's, especially from a toy. So, I'm torn about how to review this toy ... I really like the idea. And, as a toy, my daughter loved spinning it around to hear the music. She still rolls it on the base at 19 months. So that aspect is great.
I CAN'T take it off the base because, as another reviewer suggested, it gets thrown around. And the ball by itself is HEAVY, and has the potential to damage hardwood floors (it did mine!) or worse, another person! I would never leave the ball off the base unattended with kids - it's a disaster waiting to happen. So, all it's really good for in my house is rolling it on the base. And that sure is fun for a baby or toddler ... but I wouldn't call it educational. I do agree that obviously this toy is meant for parent-child interaction, but I'm still not sure it's the best way to teach ABC's.
So ... I have to agree with another reviewer ... Is this a cute, fun toy meant for babies and toddlers, or an educational toy meant for preschoolers? I LOVE the idea, but I think it needs to be thought out a bit more.
Customer Review: A lot for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
This item was purchased for a 9 month old and was an instant hit! On or off the stand it kept his interest with its lights, music, songs, alpha and numbers. I like that it gives the opportunity to press a letter or number to hear its description. Well made and good music tones. I highly recommend this item.Customer Review: Fun while learning and provides break time for parents
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the few toys that intrigues our son (11 months) enough to keep his attention for extended periods. He spins the ball, loves the music and can sit with this toy by himself and self entertain.
