LeapFrog Mr. Pencil's ABC Backpack (Frustration Free Packaging), Green

I don't often leave reviews, but just had to for this one. I actually bought two of the backpacks. One for my 4 year old and 1 for my 3 year old. I can't say enough good things about this toy. It is a sturdy well made product. I don't feel that it is overpriced for what you are getting. This toy is solid and well made, it should last a long time. It isn't too large, and the mess is self contained. It will travel good as well. The letters are super tight like another reviewer said, which is great! I don't think we will be losing the letter pieces any time soon. Even though the letters are tight, my 3 year old was still able to pull them out and put them back in. Mr pencil is tethered to the toy, and won't get lost. It has several different games and both of my girls have loved playing with them. My older girls have enjoyed helping their siblings as well. The age range is spot on. My 3 year old enjoys the hands on puzzle aspect of it and all the different songs. She isn't coordinated enough to draw the letters or pictures too good, but she has fun trying. My 4 year old loves trying to write all the letters, and is doing quite well. It is interesting enough that it can hold their attention for a good half hour, and they will play with it on their own. Interacting and helping them with it makes it even more educational. I really think this toy will help them learn their alphabet. I love that the letter pieces are capitals. Because usually we teach capital letter first. They do have a button for drawing lower case letters as well though. Probably my favorite feature is that it teaches your child how to draw letter animals. That feature alone will make this toy last longer. My older kids 9 and 6 love that aspect. The only thing I wish is that they had made the letters magnetic, then they could have been letter stamps as well. Overall it's a great toy, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

This is such a wonderful gift. I bought this for my 2 year old autistic grandson and he literally taught himself all his alphabet using it in just a matter of weeks. Highly recommend. It is by far one of his favorite toys and he has so much fun learning. The only downside is if the child is rough on toys the write on screen part doesn’t hold up well but I don’t think that’s bc of a manufacturing issue, I think it’s just bc of what it is and it would be the same issue regardless of maker bc you need to be gentle with that type of activity. Other than that it is a very durable toy for a little one who plays rough. Lol - (nanny/grandma review) To check all the boxes- functionality- wonderful. Brightness- perfect. Battery life- surprisingly good considering he plays with it constantly!

My kid loves this backpack so much, we bought two (one for each house he visits). The removable letters are fun on their own (we have used them as shape stamps in play dough as well as just letters for sorting), but I leave them off the backpack so that my kid can see the animals and practice a little finer motor skill in pressing the buttons directly. The featured activities have a decent variety (my kid has a favorite function - the letter guessing game), the recorded voice's pronunciation is clear and accurate, and the doodle screen is large enough to have plenty of space to practice writing. I like that the doodle pencil as attached as well since it's a rather important part, and I appreciate that there are at least two volume levels. Overall, we love this toy.

Just as described

Seems to work great and my daughter loves it! Keeps her very engaged and she’s mastering the letters and their sounds as well as writing. She loves the games also. Package arrived damaged but the item itself seems fine so giving 4/5 stars. :)

My 3 year old got this for Christmas. She plays with it for hours. She loves to write her letters and listens to the toy tell her what letter to write. Great learning toy. It packages great and is easy to take along. Only downfall is the letters are little and they come off so they are easily lost and they are a choking hazard for kids that put things in their mouth.

I first saw this when my toddler's cousin came over for the day and brought one, and both girls played with it for a long time. Seeing how interested my girl was in it, I was happy to find a pink version because mine loves pink, and when both are together they won't get pieces switched or lost. There are lots of fun games on it and it is helping her to learn how to hold the pencil. I just wish the string was a tad bit longer on the pencil but it doesn't seem to bother her much. It has also held up to a 3 year old lugging it everywhere we go, and so far she has lot none of the letters. I like that you can still use the 'letter' even if the piece happened to be missing, it is just somehow hard for her to get some of the letters out but she is figuring it out!

Awesome product!!!

Got this for my grandson and he absolutely loves it takes it everywhere and it’s great for being distracted

I like this product a lot very good packing and and so happy to see on time hope my boy will like this, I thought it was normal bag bt when I got it it was hard cover designed still happy what it is thanks

Very good product. Must buy. Best educational game.

Muy bonita y los niños (as) se entretienen mucho, mientras aprenden, funciona perfectamente, llevo 2 meses que la pedí y todo perfecto, por eso decido realizar reseñas con un tiempo del producto funcionando.

My son liked it very much
