Really brightly couloured which added immediate appeal and also very tactile; extremely soft and cuddly. We liked that we could personalise the bear with a child's name and choose songs and lullabies. The songs and interactions covered a rnage of early principles including creativity, music, CLL as well as KUW and maths. Very good price.

Tag Junior the amazing little book explorer is a new "get ready to read" product. Designed to encourage toddlers to explore books, Tag Junior introduces preschool skills through fun stories and playful book based activities. As children touch the Tag Junior to the specially printed pages they will hear their favourite characters speak and the words on the page spoken aloud!
Fun and easy to use, the Tag Junior book pal can store up to five books, allowing children to easily move from one book to another and comes with an included book "If I Were"*.
Each Tag Junior book introduces a different preschool skill—such as the alphabet, counting or social play—through 24 playful activities and more than 130 audio responses. Open-ended questions and fun sound effects encourage children to take charge, as they touch any part of any page to bring words, pictures or activities to life!
The Tag Junior Book Pal has been designed to allow children to grip with their palm, as children are still developing their fine motor skills and find this easier to use rather than a pen shape.You can even personalise Tag Junior Book Pal with your child's name or nickname.
After your child has played, you can connect the Tag Junior Book Pal to the online LeapFrog Learning Path to see your child’s progress and get printable activities to expand the learning! Click here for more information.
