LeapFrog recently introduced LeapBuilders as the first-ever line of smart building blocks, which combine the tactile feel of block toys with educational songs, sounds and content that challenges young minds and supports the development of fine motor skills.
The LeapBuilders toy sets are based around the electronic Smart Star cube and double-sided learning blocks, so that interactive experiences are triggered by a block being inserted into a Smart Star. Some of the LeapBuilders sets that are available include the 123 Counting Train, the Fruit Fun Elephant and the 61-piece ABC Smart House, which teaches kids about items around the house, colors, shapes and the alphabet.
The new line of LeapBuilders toys from LeapFrog are set to be on display at the 2019 North American International Toy Fair.
