Read with Me Scout by LeapFrog – A Great Toy for Preschoolers!

We received Read with Me Scout by LeapFrog as part of a promotional program with LeapFrog and MomSelect. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

When our twin girls were just babies we started reading to them. They didn’t comprehend the stories, but it helped develop an early love for books. Now that they are in preschool, they are more interested than ever. Story time has become one of our favorite activities to enjoy as a family. Not only does it allow us to spend quality time together, but it is teaching our girls the importance of reading and listening. Recently, we had the opportunity to review an all-new product that makes reading even more fun!

Read with Me Scout

Meet Read with Me Scout from LeapFrog, an interactive plush toy that helps children develop reading comprehension skills to get them on a path to reading. Scout features 70+ different engagement and comprehension questions and comes with five board books. Not only does he make reading fun with five interactive stories that he reads aloud, but he also responds to every pet, pat, hug and kiss!

Simply press a button on his collar to start reading and pat his head to turn the page. Scout will ask your child questions throughout each story to create engaging learning moments and help build comprehension skills. Scout loves to sing, too! Switch into Sleepy Time Mode when it’s time to snuggle and listen to relaxing stories and eight minutes of lullabies.

As soon as Scout arrived, my twin girls went crazy with excitement. They love stuffed animals, so one that talks and interacts is even more exciting! Since there is no assembly required, we were quickly able to take Scout out of the box and start playing with him. In just a couple of minutes, we were interacting with Scout and he was reading to us! The girls have quickly made him one of their favorite toys, in fact, they have been fighting over him so we have had to make the girls take turns playing and sleeping with him.

Our favorite part about Scout is that he interacts with you. If you pat him on the head or kiss him on the cheek, he responds. The only thing is you have to be careful about doing this while he is reading a story. If you pat him or touch his cheek at the wrong time, he will stop reading. He then starts the page over again, which can be distracting. It would be nice if you could just have him read the whole story without stopping. The girls are learning when they should and shouldn’t interact with him during story time so it has gotten better.

The girls also love listening to Scout sing lullabies. They play them over and over again, especially at bedtime. The best part is he’s not only educational, he is also soft and cuddly and makes a great little buddy!

We are huge fans of LeapFrog toys and are pleased to add Scout to our collection. If you are looking for a fun toy for a 2-4 year old that is also educational, Scout would make a great gift!

You can purchase Read with Me Scout from major retailers such as Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, and Amazon for approximately $30.
