Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Introduce your infant or toddler to the entire alphabet, numbers one through ten, shapes, colors and more. The LeapStart Learning Table provides two engaging ways for children to play. Parents can expose little ones to instrument sounds and upbeat melodies with each instrument on the table, or flip the center page on the table to transform the instruments from musical activities to learning discoveries.

Remove the LeapStart Learning Table's legs so your baby can play while sitting. As she grows, the Learning Table encourages her to pull up to standing, an important developmental milestone. Includes over 40 songs and melodies. Features sparkling lights and lots of great hands-on activities. Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included). Measures 24"L x 5.5"W x 15.5"H.

Editorial Review:
This is a happy, noisy toy that should amuse most toddlers. Everything that can be touched reacts in some way, from a trombone-playing frog to a book that sings the alphabet. Our favorite is the colored keyboard that sings each color you press. The tabletop can be placed on the floor for those still in the crawling phase, or can sit on the included legs for a sturdy surface and leaning spot for little ones who are new to walking. If there is any fault with the Learning Table, it may be that it has too many features: each element of the table reacts in two different ways, depending on whether it's in Learn Mode or Music Mode. (Modes are switched by flipping the page of the book mounted in the center of the table.) Though this means more fun stuff for kids to hear, the mode concept is not one that they can be expected to understand, and the effect of the toy's inconsistent reactions is likely to be confusion. --David Stoesz

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great toy for tots ready to stand/walk!
My son got this toy when he was 8 months old (wish we'd gotten it a little earlier) and at 17 months, he still plays with it every day. This is the toy that encouraged him to stand independently and walk more then any of the others. He loves to switch it back and forth between the music and words/songs and even between the english and spanish! My 6 month old nephew loves to sit (or stand with support)in front of it and reach for all the brightly-colored toys on it and gets such a kick out of it when ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great toy
I bought this for my niece Isabella in December 2004 when she was just able to stand up by leaning on something. Perfect for her. The little toys around the music book are hilarous. We used to tease and call her our little redneck because of the banjo and because my sister and I grew up in Kansas. Great toy, buy it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Bonus! Bi-lingual learning of colors, numbers, shapes
This toy has so much to play with. It has a dual mode that let's you switch between music and learning (shapes, colors, etc.). THEN it's ALSO got 2 language modes. So when your child has learned everything on the toy in one language, you can switch it over to the other language. My son loves this toy, and it's one of the few we have that I don't think to myself, "If *I* had designed this toy, I would have..."



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Still using it after 2 years.
My son got this when he was six months old and he is still playing with it two years later. It was great for him to play with during tummy time without the legs, and since it's been a table, it's easy to play with whenever he walks by. It's definitely worth the money. My only small complaint is that he can remove the plastic door so we find it lying around the house sometimes. It's easy to snap back in, though. It's another good hiding spot for his toy cars.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun, educational toy with lots of activities
Overall, a great toy with multiple activities for baby.
Only complaint: My 9 month old loves the hard "storybook"
in the center but has gotten his little finger stuck in
there twice. Not the most baby-friendly feature on
an otherwise fabulous product.
