This post is in collaboration with LeapFrog® LeapBuilders® Fruit Fun Elephant™. All opinions are my own.
Ever since the boys were really little (actually, even back when I just had Carter), we’ve always taken play time outside. Many a summer afternoon I’ve spread a big vintage quilt in the grass in our shaded back yard and taken out numerous toys for play. So when Carter got to help set up Hunter’s new LeapFrog® toy, then I just new we’d have to do so under the trees outside.
Little Hunter has struggled quit a bit with number recognition. He can count just fine and can recognize numbers up to 4, but the whole recognition thing has yet to come. When I read that the LeapBuilders® Fruit Fun Elephant™ included blocks that would help with his number recognition then I was all in! And any time a toy includes building or blocks then I knew Hunter would be all in too.
Each LeapFrog® LeapBuilders® Fruit Fun Elephant™ building toy includes double sided learning blocks which allows children to press a button to hear learning phrases and questions about each fruit, color, animal and number. Big brother was all about the number blocks with Hunter as he knows that’s what we’ve been working on the most lately. It was so cute to watch Carter hold up a block, ask Hunter what number it was then insert it into the interactive Smart Star™ to see if he was correct!
And while this may seem quite silly, something I was excited about was the fact the LeapBuilders® Fruit Fun Elephant™ was ready to play with right out of the box. There was no assembly (other than the boys having the fun of building the Elephant), it came with batteries, and the packaging from LeapFrog® was 100% mom friendly! Within minutes of the boys receiving Hunter’s new toy they were building and learning.
The LeapBuilders® Fruit Fun Elephant™ is perfect for children ages 2 and up. And LeapFrog is giving away five sets of LeapBuilders toys! Just visit http://bit.ly/LeapBuildersSweepstakes to enter!

And don’t forget you can use blocks from other LeapBuilders® sets so have fun mixing and matching. I know I have my eye on one of their ABC sets as we are also working on letters with Hunter too!
