I bought each of my twins one for their first birthday.
By the time they were 2, they could pick out words when asked where they were....but the time they were three, they could follow the story line with the fingers and "read" simple words. They were also able to locate the states when asked where they were.
When they went into kindergarten, not only did they know their ABC's, they could print both upper and lower case, and read at a 1st grade level.
So yes. it will enhance your child's intellect.

It depends on the child, but usually at this age everything goes into the mouth. I would say if the leap frog is large enough and has parts that are big enough to not be chewed off or swallowed than go for it! It will teach her early on how to work this toy. Good luck to you all, but be very careful.

I think so. But you could start out getting her interested in reading first rather than a toy. By reading, she would understand things better. colors, animals things around her. Every child has a different pace with smarts. My daughters are both very smart. the older one is now in a gifted program in 5th grade. She knew her ABC's to read and sing at 21 months. I read to her since she was 3 months old. So yes reading is very imortant. MY 18 month old is all about reading too. She already knows shapes and some colors...

there is the regular leapfrog and the like "toddler" version of leapfrog. My daughters have them and i didn't see them actually operate the toddler one until about 24 mos or so. i don't know if it has made them smarter but it has helped with concept of cause and effect, like when you touch pictures you hear a sound and so on. The regular leapfrog requires a little more concentration so i wouldn't expect to see that used by a child less than 3 yrs. You've made a good purchase but make sure to get games bought now so they won't change versions on you by the time she is old enough to use it!

you can't reley on a toy to make your child smarter. What u can do is work with her using the toy and other items to enhance her knowledge. It is never to early to start teaching her things, that she will need to know

some human beings do say playpens are sturdy for infants. i'm prepared on sturdy childproofing and doing chores whilst they sleep. they are wide awake 8 - 10 hours an afternoon. That leaves 14 to scrub the domicile and so on. She would desire to be pulling up now. She does not pull up on furnishings? status without help would desire to be via sixteen months. She has an outstanding variety of time. Please do no longer think of 12 month olds would desire to stroll! 13-15 months is the norm, with 9-18 being interior ordinary variety. 12 is a tad early. Playpens are great return and forth cribs. is additionally used for time outs for youthful childrens. I even have various for naps for older childrens. I even have by no potential positioned my childrens in there or of their crib to "get issues completed". i'm no longer likely against it, some human beings swear via it. yet i do no longer likely get it. I childproofed properly, so the domicile itself is one great playpen. we've 2 fenced in areas, the computer and the television. The twins are used to mommy being on the computer for 10-15m at a time, and that they're going to play fortunately on a similar time as I try this. whilst they become bored, they arrive fetch me. they might't be in them after 35", so it relies upon on her top. The ninetieth percentile 18 month previous boy I babysat would desire to no longer be in one. He would desire to get his leg over the sting. To inspire cruising, try putting cheerios or sugarfree wheat puffs sprinkled out onto a espresso table and so on. Or purchase a prepare table or comparable and positioned a healthy snack on there. she would have the ability to pull up and eat, then cruise to pass the place the foodstuff is. in basic terms worry if she isn't pulling up on furnishings, via twelve months infants would desire to be doing that. She has a pair extra months till now no longer cruising is a topic (14-15 months) and quite a number of alternative extra months to start status without help / strolling. additionally obese infants walk later. skinny infants walk faster. much less weight to pull up and pass around! infants with huge heads walk later too. My men have been employing push toys at this age, and at 14 months nevertheless do! certainly one of my twins merely all started strolling, the different will take 2-3 steps, yet hasn't completed better than that yet. it relatively is one hundred% contained in the traditional variety.
