Toy Description

This soft, plush globe is suitable for ages 6 months to 2 years and combines fun songs and play with learning. 

Play

To play with the globe, children can press on different buttons on the continents to learn more about it and the animals that live in that specific area. By doing this, the toy will talk to them in a simple way and teach them new ideas that relate to places around the world. 

Observations

Children ages 6 months to 2 years are the most common users of Leapfrog’s Hug & Learn Plush Globe. By pressing on different buttons, kids can learn about the seven continents of the world and the different types of animals that live in each one. The globe combines fun songs and animals with learning. This toy has received very positive reviews- the only concern being that with very small children it can be hard for them to press the button for the continents. Unfortunately, this toy is no longer in production. We are currently looking for the best alternative.

Care

  • There have been no reports of a globe being ripped, but if the globe does rip, it is recommended to sew up the hole so young children do not take out the stuffing. 

Parts and Pieces

The toy comes in one piece- a round, stuffed plush globe. 

Concerns

We have not read any reports of a globe ripping and stuffing coming out, but just in case, after delivery, inspect the toy when it is delivered to make sure there are no defects.
