Dance, Sing, and Learn with This Adorable Pup 

Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy

I recently bought one of these adorable puppies for a baby gift. When I first saw it I thought he was the cutest little fellow. It comes in a few different colors, and responds when a paw is pressed.

What surprised me was the singing and talking that comes from the little dog. This guy doesn’t just say things like “I love you,” but goes on to sing the ABC’s, patty-cake, and other songs. Very fun for young children, and instructional at the same time.

An Educational Toy that Rocks!  

As a matter of fact, the three year old is having more fun with it than the baby so far. She sings and dances with it. Somehow you have to dance when you hear it sing. It has twenty five songs and/or phrases for your child to learn from and enjoy. The words are designed to get the child doing what the dog is doing, like clapping, or singing. It will even wiggle it’s cute booty.

It does take 6 AA batteries. They are included with the toy, so you’ll be all set at first, but you’ll want to keep an extra set on hand. The batteries seem to last a long time though. It’s soft enough that the little girl playing with it now takes it to bed, into her playhouse, and elsewhere.

Because of the inner workings on the dog, he isn’t as squishy soft as some toys, but his actions surely make up for that. His ears even move up and down. When you hear it sing “If you’re happy and you know it….” see if you can resist singing along.

I love the variety of choices that are available too. You can get the little sis version, different colors, and even a riding version that I think looks like a blast for a little one.

Once again Fisher Price has created a great, fun and educational toy for kids! Yours will love it.

Stride to Ride Puppy, Laugh and Learn Style

I bet every baby would love this guy. He’s got wheels, so your child can ride him–great when first learning to walk. You can feed him blocks-yep, his jaw moves. He has 50 songs and phrases to add to the fun. If you want a more active version of the Laugh and Learn Pup, this is sure to be a hit. Imagine how fun for a little one to scamper around on this guy while singing and listening to songs and games.
