My little boy has just had his first birthday and in the weeks running up we trekked off to Toys R Us to have a look at what we could get him. We had recently purchased the Fisher Price Laugh & learn Bunny for a friends little girl and we had been quite impressed by that. So when we spotted this puppy we thought that would be a good choice for one of his presents.
- Appearance -
The first thing I spotted about the puppy was its adorable little face. It has lovely bright puppy dog eyes and a bright red nose. Its smile is cute and its cheeks rosy and it has two soft floppy ears. It also has a patch over one eye. The main body of the puppy is a light beige and he is wearing a small T Shirt with an ABC print. His ears are bright blue and each of his paws has a different brightly coloured circle on the end. On the puppy are several printed words: ear, hand, tummy and foot. I'm not going to insult your intelligence and tell you where the words are written! Although we would call them paws, they are referred to as hands and feet so that baby can relate to his own body parts. On one hand there is a musical note and on one of his feet are control instructions. The back of the puppy's T Shirt unfastens with Velcro. This hides the battery pack and a sliding switch. This alters the volume (there are 2 levels) and switches the puppy off. The puppy takes 3 x AA batteries.
- Features -
Basically the puppy talks and sings songs to baby. The puppy has 7 contact points on his body. His right ear, his nose, all 4 paws and his tummy. The contact point on his left foot offers three options. ABC, a musical note and off. If ABC is selected the puppy says 'Its learning time', for the musical note he says 'Lets sing and play games' and for off he says 'bye bye'. Each of the other contact points has 2-3 responses for each of the ABC or musical settings. Each time a contact point is pressed baby will hear either a song or a phrase or a doggy type noise!
- Songs -
Most of the usual nursery songs are included such as Heads and Shoulders, Happy and You Know It, The alphabet song, pat-a-cake, and Itsy Bitsy Spider (I'm sure this was Incy Wincy when I was young?) It also has other songs that I've not heard before about counting, body parts and colour. It also has a great version of this little piggy which has become this little puppy:
'This little puppy went to market, This little puppy stayed at home, This little puppy had a biscuit and This little puppy had a bone and This little puppy sang woof woof woof all the way home!'
I love that! The songs have been placed on the part of the puppy's body that is best related to the song. ie this little puppy on a foot, pat-a-cake on a hand etc.
- Phrases -
As well as the songs some of the responses are just words. There are a few that describe the part of the body that you are touching and others describe the part and what colour it is. There are also other things such as 'So big', 'Hooray!' and 'Got my toes' My favourite is the 'Atchoo' when you touch his nose! If you don't press a contact point for a short time (only a few seconds) the puppy says 'hug me'. All the songs and phrases are sung or spoken in cheerful and bright voices.
- Good points -
As I said earlier, the puppy is adorable in appearance. It is also very soft to the touch and lovely to cuddle. If you wave the puppy from side to side its ears flop about. This makes my little boy laugh! The batteries are safely hidden around the back and the panel has to be unscrewed to get to them. The puppy can also balance quite well on a flat surface by itself, sitting on its back paws and tail.
- Bad points -
Although there is an off switch on the puppy's foot, the puppy will switch straight back on if any other contact point is touched. As there are a lot of contact points it is very difficult to move him without him responding. This can be quite annoying when you are putting away when the children are in bed! Obviously it can be turned off at the switch, but this is quite awkward to get to as it is hidden away under his T Shirt. The puppy is quite big (it measures 27.5 x 18 x 33 cm) and its head is large in proportion to the rest of its body. When my little boy is sat in his car seat, he finds it difficult to keep the puppy on his knee. It either flops onto his face or falls to the side.
- Overall -
The puppy is suitable from age 6 months onwards and I think we will get quite a bit of use from it. We have only had it a few days so far and I have found it fun and educational. I've not been able to judge how long the batteries will last, but its been on almost constantly and there are no signs of a loss in quality yet so I think they will last quite well. It makes my little boy laugh and smile, and it is lovely , bright and cheerful. Just looking at it makes me smile! Its also quite popular with my 6 year old who has given it a few cuddles and wishes it was his!
- Price and availablity -
We bought this from Toys R Us at £19.78, it is available on Amazon at the same price. Mothercare are selling it for £19.99 and Argos have it on offer at the moment (Why Did I Not Know This?) AT £14.79.
Advantages: lots to learn Disadvantages: playing is difficult
Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Puppy
Jack's first Christmas was wonderful and he received far too many presents from everyone including myself. One of his presents was this Laugh and Learn Puppy that his nana bought him (my partners mum). I have since seen it for sale many places such as Argos or online at Amazon and it is pretty much the same price wherever you go and that is around the £20 mark.
To look at the puppy you will see a lovely soft toy ... ...body parts written onto the fabric of the puppy. He sits around 30cm high if not a little more and his limbs are all soft and movable. He has large floppy blue ears one green and one purple paw, one orange and one yellow foot. He has a small t-shirt on that has letters printed on in different colours. His face is very happy and smiley so he looks like a puppy you would like to have as a friend!
He works in two different ways and these ways are controlled ...

Advantages: Learns and teaches, brightly coloured, sounds and noises Disadvantages: none
** INTRODUCTION**
I bought the learning puppy for Ethan for Christmas, he loves it. He smiles when you give it him, and gets excited when the sounds come on. He triggers the sounds off by accident as he doesn't really understand how to do it yet, but he is getting there slowly.

The puppy was something I was looking for Ethan, its fun, entertaining; it will teach and learn Ethan when he is older. The puppy is colourful, ... ...learning process. Each part of the body makes a sound, plays learning games, and plays learning songs.
Turning the puppy on is easy, there is a Orange patch on his left foot with the turn off, ABC, and the music trigger. Although when turning the puppy off any kind of interaction with the puppy will trigger it off again, and can be quite annoying. While the puppy is in the ABC learning mode, it will teach and learn Ethan when he is older with learning ...

Quick review of Fisher Price Laugh & Learn: Learning Puppy
My baby loves this and dances to the music. Very stimulating. Only problem with it is that you cannot really turn it off! Well you can, but if you accidentally tread on it, or pick it up to tidy away, it starts singing or talking again- not always good when the baby is asleep. But would still reccomend it - its brilliant. ...
