Micah and I have been working on his “As” a lot lately. If you don’t speak toddler, that’s his letters. We have the foam bath letters, chalk for the driveway, and a couple ABC books. Plus some apps on my tablet and now his LeapPad for letter learning! But my new, absolute favorite letter-learning toy is the LeapFrog Word Whammer. The Word Whammer is kid-fun, travel-friendly, and educational!
The LeapFrog Word Whammer
The LeapFrog Word Whammer is a straight-forward game. Remember those days of playing handheld games on the way to grandma’s for Christmas? No WiFi, no data, no charging cords or touch screens, no parental controls needed. Just simple fun. That’s the LeapFrog Word Whammer. The left handle is for holding and the right handle twists up and down or pushes in to play the games.
Word Whammer Game Play
Just pick your favorite of three animals or carnival games, “fuel up” and take off into fun! Match one letter to a choice of three letters, if you get it wrong the game tells you the letter and how it sounds, then try again. After 5 letters, you get congratulated and “tickets” to play a claw game and win prizes for your character! And spin the wheel to spell 3-letter words! Sounds corny to a grow adult, but Micah ADORES this game!
My Toddler LOVES the Word Whammer
Micah loves the LeapFrog Word Whammer and picks it up at least 8 times a day. It’s going to be a life-saver on road trips and our upcoming move! He gets so excited about the dragon on a rocket and actually jumps for joy when the rocket “takes off”! He’s only 2.5 years old, so I was a little worried since the game is rated for 4 years and up. Micah took to it quickly, though, and is actually getting better at matching the letters!
The LeapFrog Word Whammer: Pros
Other than what I’ve said above, the LeapFrog Word Whammer has some other perks. Things like two volume settings, a backlit screen for easy play, and the perfect size for little hands. It also seems to have a solid construction, so I’m not worried about my busy boy breaking it.
Even better, as Micah improves at the game, it will get more complicated! He’ll start learning 3-letter words, filling in the blanks, and completing more difficult games. I don’t expect this to happen for a while, he’s got a long ways to go on his letters, but I’m excited that it will grow with him!
The LeapFrog Word Whammer: Cons
I can really only find two cons: there is no headphone jack and there is no back button. The headphone jack isn’t a big deal, it’s fun to hear Micah succeed at matching the letters. I do wish it had a back option. If Micah picks the wrong game, he has to turn it off or play it through. He doesn’t care now because all three games are fun, but I think he’ll care eventually. It also runs on batteries, but I haven’t had any battery-casualties yet, so it won’t be a big deal to replace 3 AAAs when they die.
The LeapFrog Word Whammer Review
If you can’t tell, of if you skipped to the end like I sometimes do, I love the Word Whammer. I am super excited to watch Micah grown and learn with the great LeapFrog toys and others to help us along the way! It’s always a perk to see him enjoying learning so much that he doesn’t even know it’s educational!
