I actually thought the selection was quite good and had a hard time narrowing down my top choices. Yes, that's right, you get to preview and choose your own songs for the Scout My Pal to play! For every parent out there who has had to hear their least favorite song played over and over and over again on their child’s favorite toy, the folks at Leap Frog have heard your screams. After those were all set I got to choose the music Scout plays for daytime music as well as his nighttime lullabies. Once we set it, we then got to choose from a huge list of items to set her favorite food, color, and animal. We connected Scout (sorry, “Woof Woof”) to the computer and got to choose between hundreds of preset names and spellings until we found her name and the correct pronunciation. As is the case with anything personalized, we were incredibly excited to use the customized name feature. The My Pal Scout and the My Pal Violet are unique interactive toys that can be programmed to remember your child's name as well as a few of their favorite things.

Amazingly, only two hours after they were introduced she couldn't imagine life without him, so I had to wait until she fell asleep to connect him to the computer to personalize his interactions. This actually caused a bit of a problem because I had to try and sneak him away from her to sync it with the Leap Frog connect. She even carried it right off to bed with her, with My Pal Scout singing her 10 minutes of bedtime music so she could fall asleep. From the moment she opened the box, she snuggled him like an old friend and didn't let him go.

When I got to meet the LeapFrog rep at the Time to Play Holiday Showcase and he showed me the different interactive features on the My Pal, I knew instantly it would be a hit with my 16 month old.īut I didn't realize what a huge hit he would be at the time. I would like to introduce you to the only toy my daughter asks for by name, the My Pal Scout interactive puppy (This is of course assuming that his name is, in fact, 'Woof Woof' as she insists that it is).
