The Ldapfrog Touch Magic Counting Train is an educational toy designed for toddlers and young children to learn about numbers, counting, and basic math skills. The train consists of a locomotive and several cars, each with a different function or activity. The locomotive serves as the main control center for the train, featuring a colorful touch screen display and various buttons for navigation and interaction. Children can use their fingers to touch and manipulate objects on the screen, providing a tactile learning experience. One of the cars on the train is a counting car, where children can learn to count from one to ten by touching and counting objects, such as animals or fruits. This activity helps develop their number recognition and counting skills in a fun and engaging way.
Other shades: Blue, Brown, Purple.
Even though I never watched the 2012 movie, I particularly loved the images of Josette, Julia, and Angelique included in the palette with tips for achieving their particular looks.

My Nyx Collection
While the 2010s took a number of beloved products and trends away from me, the 2010s gave me Nyx cosmetics. My first Nyx product was "The Crimson Amulet" collection (2012), inspired by the 2012 Dark Shadows. Since I was a huge fan of the original Dark Shadows series in the 1960s-70s, I was very interested in the gothic-styled packaging for this color collection. Even though I never watched the 2012 movie, I particularly loved the images of Josette, Julia, and Angelique included in the palette with tips for achieving their particular looks. This was the first makeup kit I really loved after my Urban Decay "Sell Out" face case. Even though I have used this color collection countless times, I have only hit pan on the white highlighter, which I used to use constantly.
The palette is themed around bright colors and a variety of eye colors, including greens, a favorite of mine. All of the lip colors and blushes included are very bright compared to popular color collections today.
Front and back of the color collection.
During the early 2010s, when I used this palette most heavily, I favored the bolder eyeshadow colors in the top half. I used the shimmering dark blue, dark green, and deep purple as eyeliner. Looking back at this palette, I would really like to explore the neutrals in the bottom half more. The palette has aged well in that those neutral mattes, which were up-and-coming at the time, are still popular.
Like I mentioned earlier, I loved the white highlighter. I also enjoyed the deep red and bright pink lipsticks. The blushes were actually a little too strong for my face. The shimmering "bronzer" showed up as very pink on me, and I could get by with a little of it. I need to buy a narrow blush brush to work more with the four shades in the top, as well as the blush in my Urban Decay face case.
Jumbo Eye Pencils in "Yogurt" (2006) and "Strawberry Milk" (2009). I bought "Strawberry Milk" around the mid-2010s and "Yogurt" a couple of years later. More recently, I bought Nyx's pencil sharpener to sharpen them.

The train also includes a music car, where children can explore different sounds and melodies. They can play musical notes by touching the screen or pressing buttons, creating their own tunes and rhythms. This activity helps stimulate their auditory senses and encourages creativity and self-expression. Additionally, there is a vocabulary car, where children can learn new words and expand their vocabulary. They can touch objects on the screen to hear their names and see their corresponding images. This activity promotes language development and helps children build their communication skills. Overall, the Ldapfrog Touch Magic Counting Train provides a fun and interactive learning experience for young children. It enhances their cognitive abilities, fine motor skills, and understanding of numbers and shapes. This toy is a great tool for parents and educators to introduce basic math concepts and promote early childhood learning..
Reviews for "Enhance Your Counfing Abilities with LDAPFrog Touch Magic Training"
1. Jessica - 1 star
This toy is a complete waste of money. The touch feature barely works and my child gets frustrated trying to make it count. It's supposed to help with learning numbers, but it just confuses my toddler even more. The buttons are small and hard to press, making it difficult for little hands to use. I would not recommend this toy to anyone.
2. Brian - 2 stars
I was disappointed with the Ldapfrog touch magic counting train. The design is bulky and not very intuitive for my child to interact with. The counting feature is very basic, only going up to 10. The train itself is not very sturdy and easily falls apart. Overall, it didn't meet my expectations and I believe there are better toys out there for teaching counting skills.
3. Sarah - 1 star
I do not recommend the Ldapfrog touch magic counting train. The touch feature is not sensitive enough and requires a hard press to work, which is not ideal for a young child. The voice function is also unclear and sounds robotic. My child quickly lost interest in this toy and I regret purchasing it. Save your money and invest in a better educational toy for your child.
4. Mike - 2 stars
The Ldapfrog touch magic counting train is a disappointment. The concept is great, but the execution falls short. The touch pad is not very responsive and my child struggles to make it work properly. The toy also lacks variety in activities and becomes boring after a short period of time. It's not worth the price and I would recommend looking for a different learning toy for your child.
