"Play

is an extension of learning and these items complement each child's unique

learning style that determines the way he or she can best master new ideas,

information or activities," said Tom Alfonsi, KB Toys senior vice

president of merchandising. "LeapFrog is breaking new ground in the

development of learning items and our own private label learning toys

offer significant educational value and content such as science and history,

that is not currently being offered."

Alfonsi recommends

some of KB Toys' most popular items to enhance your child's success this

school year:

Children as

young as 6 months old can begin learning letters of the alphabet, as well

as phonics, with LeapFrog's Fun & Learn Phonics Bus. With lots of

bright colors, funny characters to interact with and talking letters to

press, this electronic school bus captivates children ages 6 months to

4 years old. Interactive animal characters challenge children to find

letters. Each conversation is unique, and the animal characters provide

fun clues including letter names, sounds, colors and location. Kids learn

not only letters and phonics, but also positive social interaction with

talking and singing animals, honking horns, flashing lights and a happy

"Wheels on the Bus" song.
