*Sigh*, yet another toy that talks and requires batteries. I sigh because they wear me out and for some reason my in-laws insist on purchasing these nerve-wrecking toys for my children. Leap Frog Fun & Learn Bus was given to my daughter at Christmas...
This is another toy that I got a great deal on at KB Kids. They have a surprise of the day and I got this for less than $10.00 there with a coupon. In the stores I believe that it is about 30.00.
Pros: Bright colors, interactive, educationally oriented. Cons: Noisy and obnoxious.
My two-year-old son received the Fun And Learn Phonics Bus for his Birthday last November. This colorful bus captured his attention. He seemed delighted when he opened the present. My initial response was also very positive.

Warning: before purchasing this toy, I strongly recommend visiting a toy store and trying it out...and not just for a few seconds, but for the amount of time your child might play. This is one of the most potentially annoying toys your child will...

...really do go round and round. That is certainly not all that this great fun learning toy does. It also teaches phonics and letter recognition in a fun and hands on way!

Pros: wonderful learning toy Cons: could be more clear with some of the letters

When I first saw the Little Leap Fun and Learn Phonics Bus, I thought what a wonderful way to encourage my son's learning of the alphabet. His main interest is things that go, so the fact that the bus has working plastic tires that allow it...

This is a great learning toy, to sit down with your child and play with one on one. It teaches letters & Letter Sounds as well as animals and their sounds, very clearly. By reading the box it says that this toy won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio –...
Pros: Will Keep Your Child Laughing And Learning For Hours Cons: None, I love the school bus now !

Pros: cheerful, educational, durable Cons: a bit loud and stickers aren't a good idea

Let me first start off by telling you that my son received this as a gift this last Christmas so my bus looks a little different then the one they have pictured. The bus we have does not have any cut-outs for figures, this one is all enclosed and the...
Pros: attempts to teach various phonics sounds, good variety of activities Cons: speech is distorted, may confuse young learners
My daughter received the Phonics Bus for her first birthday. This is somewhat younger than the recommended low age of 18 months. But, she is finding the Phonics Bus enjoyable already. I, on the other hand, have frequently contemplated...
