Editorial Review

This is a happy, noisy toy that should amuse most toddlers. Everything that can be touched reacts in some way, from a trombone-playing frog to a book that sings the alphabet. Our favorite is the colored keyboard that sings each color you press. The tabletop can be placed on the floor for those still in the crawling phase, or can sit on the included legs for a sturdy surface and leaning spot for little ones who are new to walking. If there is any fault with the Learning Table, it may be that it has too many features: each element of the table reacts in two different ways, depending on whether it's in Learn Mode or Music Mode. (Modes are switched by flipping the page of the book mounted in the center of the table.) Though this means more fun stuff for kids to hear, the mode concept is not one that they can be expected to understand, and the effect of the toy's inconsistent reactions is likely to be confusion.

Product Description

Little ones earn musical rewards for physical exploration with Descubrimesa, the Spanish language version of the LeapStart Learning Table from LeapFrog. Spin the banjo wheel and hear a tune. Open and close the purple door to hear some jazzy vocals. Spin, roll, slide, push or pull all the various components and the colorful table responds with one of more than 40 songs and melodies. Legs easily detach for playing on the floor. Imported.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely correct - Real Academia de la Lengua Espanola, October 1, 2004

This review is from: Descubrimesa (Learning Table) (Toy)

The letters that this version is "missing" are absolutely correctly not included in accordance with the Real Academia de la Lengua Espanola (the institution aimed at monitoring the proper use of Spanish language). In the 90's the letters "ch", "ll" and "rr" were deleted from the Spanish language alphabet. Therefore, the only difference between the English and Spanish alphabets is the "n", which is included on this toy.

If that is not how you choose to teach your child, and prefer to use a more historical alphabet, that is fine. However, the toy is not currently academically incorrect at all.

This review is from: Descubrimesa (Learning Table) (Toy)

I bought this for my 6 month old daughter and she loves it. It sings the alphabet and numbers. It plays music and lights up. Does more than i thought and the buttons are easy for my daughter to push. The legs detach so your child can play with sitting or lying down on thier belly. Then you can add the legs later when they can stand.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Table! - Leap Frog makes excellent toys, October 9, 2004

This review is from: Descubrimesa (Learning Table) (Toy)

I bought this toy for my 16 month old baby and she loves it. It is a fun musical toy as well as a learning toy. I like that it teaches simple concepts: opened-closed, up-down, etc. in Spanish. I want toys to reinforce the Spanish she learns. I have bought many LeapFrog toys and they all have been good, but my baby is not as interested in some. It also offers different sounds, some with more complicated sounds than your typical baby toy. The only two negative aspects I found is that the purple door came off easily, and that some times at night, the toy starts playing music all on its own, without touching it.
