LeapFrog Peek-a-Shoe Talking Octopus Review

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 Posted by Felicia

There is a new sea friend that is becoming a favorite around our house.  It is the LeapFrog Peek-a-Shoe Talking Octopus!  Not only is this guy cute, but he is educational and fun.



Davis is 14 months old and this is the perfect age for Peek-a-Shoe in my opinion.  He is at that age of curiosity where he is trying to soak in every ounce of learning he can in the quickest amount of time possible.  As soon as we took Peek-a-Shoe out of the box he was intrigued with him.  He now holds the coveted spot on the floor in Davis's room where the "fun toys" hang for several months before being put in the toy bin or closet (we rotate toys).








The LeapFrog Peek-a-Shoe Talking Octopus was the 2011 winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award and rightfully so.  This cute little guy introduces colors, counting, sea animals and problem solving skills all in one fun toy.  Davis can sit and play with this thing for extended amounts of time.  Each shoe has a different color as well as pictures of different sea animals.  When your child drops in the balls they spin around the inside and hide under the shoes.  Your child needs to lift the shoes in order to find the ball.  As they lift the Peek-a-Shoe Octopus they learn!  There is a music button located on the collar of the octopus that you can press for dancing fun as well.



There are a few things that I would improve on the Peek-a-Shoe.  I wish that there was a little more to the base so that it wouldn't tip as easily.  I find Davis picking up the entire Octopus in order to find the balls sometimes.  I also wish there was a place to store the balls.  We end up loosing the balls underneath things.  The good news is that you can purchase more if you loose them completely!

If you have a child ages 6 months-36 months this is such a great gift idea for Christmas.  You can purchase the Peek-a-Shoe Talking Octopus on Amazon for $24.96 right now.

This giveaway has ended.  Congrats to Erin!
