Leapfrog: Numberland

Leapfrog is great for kids who are learning to read and math. Have been a fan of leapfrog since 2010. Always buy my children and always gift to grandchildren.

Decent music. Well, good enough that I could manage the thousand and one times it was played. A little Beatles influenced, maybe. Worth the money. Not sure it helped encourage my daughter to fall in love with math. She is 13 now, and while she fully appreciates the importance of math, she doesn't LOVE math the way she loved this cartoon. That's for sure.

I sent these 2 DVD's, Leapfrog: Numberland & Leapfrog: Letter Factory, to my 2-year-old grandson. He loves them! He watched Letter Factory 6 times the first day, & today he's been asking to watch Numberland at least 3 times so far. He loves it!They are excellent introductions to letters & numbers. They're exciting, fun, & he is mesmerized by them!His mom thought they couldn't watch DVD's because they don't have a DVD player, but his dad told us they can play DVD's on their Xbox. It works perfectly!UPDATE: My grandson has been watching this video several times a day for 3 weeks. Today his mom gave him 4 cookies, & he counted them 1,2,3,4. That's great for age 28 months!He still loves this video. Soon I'll send him the next math video in the Leapfrog series.

I ordered this a years ago. And to this day my son still will revert back to this show. It seems to stick with kids even when they grow up a little bit more. So I'd say money well spent great show for kids.

I scoured the options on Amazon for quality counting videos. I taught elementary school for 9+ years so I have high expectations. I saw quite a few positive review for Numberland on here, so I bit the bullet and ordered it for my 2 year old. I can say I love this video. The songs are catchy, my son loves to watch it. I find the songs to be catchy too. sometimes kids shows can have annoying songs, but these aren't bad at all. I happen to be very restrictive compared to most parents when it comes to TV time.Perhaps because I am an educator I liked the bonus feature that explains the mathematical concepts presented from an educational perspective. Number theory and all that jazz!If you are comparing this to Numbers Ahoy, I would go with this one, Numberland. I watched Numbers Ahoy and there isn't as much educational value to it.

I always hate those reviews where people don't actually remark thoughtfully on the product. So I'll start by saying that my son likes it, it captures his attention, the numbers are well described and illustrated since each number is seen visually associated with his humber of objects. However, the story line starts off with Scout &co passing by a monkey walking down the road with a sob story about his ride breaking down. Not to be a super jaded adult, but for the first 15min of me watching this grifter sitting in their car, I kept thinking- he's totally going to scam them, who is this suspicious monkey by himself on the road? yeah, very likely his bus broke down, what, was I born yesterday? But no, it ends up being legit- he's the driver of the bus that carries the numbers around, and in fact it's his birthday that we end up celebrating later. But I just find it weird having a story line where we talk to strangers and give them a ride in our car... I'm sorry I'm such a suspicious individual, I live in LA, I can't help it...

I'm the type of dad that buys his son toys & learning items that are just above the recommended age. It has paid off in spades. My son grows into learning the toys or videos. His ability to master them is above average. That is not said to boast. That is said to promoted Leapfrog's DVD's.My son just turned two. He is growing up in a Bi-Lingual family which can cause a delay in actual speaking of words (not speech recognition). So I purchased this DVD and others to replace the Pixar movies he spent time watching. I have to say they are a classroom @ home. He sits, transfixed and is attempting his best to speak what he hears & sees in Leapfrog's DVD's. When he knows a Leapfrog DVD is coming on, he rushes to 'his seat' to watch (bottle in hand). When it ends, he hands me the remote to re-start the DVD.I would highly recommend these products.

My kids have Leap Frog toys and somewhere saw a trailer for one of these Scout & Friend DVDs. They are very reasonably priced so I bought one. It is not the most visually stunning or innovative animation, but the characters, dialogue and songs are sweet and simple. My 3 year old and my 5 year old both love to watch this again and again, to sing the songs and anticipate the ending.The movie goes through the numbers and helps kids understand their size and order. I always cringe when letting my kids watch a movie instead of doing something else, but this video really helps them learn! What's not to love? I soon bought Phonics Farm, too, and it was as a big of a success with us as this. I like the pre-reading help!

These videos are amazing they really helped my daughter and I would recommend this product to parents that need help interesting there child in learning letters or numbers.

We love all the Leap Frog DVD's

The kiddo liked it, so that's the most important thing. He's happily singing along to it and counting up to 10 now. Perhaps they should have gone up to 20, but that's the only niggle I've got with the DVD.

Great video, very engaging. The kids love it.

Like this DVD, my 2 1/2 yr old loves counting along!
