![]() ![]() On Baby Tad’s bib are the same six shapes (with the blue square and green circle’s places back to the 1999 model), and you have to press the shape that lights up. The 2001 version has a more modern look to it, a less creepy face (likely adapted from the 2000 version), and the shapes have smiley faces on them. The updated 2001 version, which is the most well-known version, features new songs. Green Circle - Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone.Orange Diamond - If You're Happy and You Know It.Purple Triangle - Mary Had a Little Lamb.Yellow Star - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.If you press the correct shape, he says "Yay! You found the (what he asked you to find)!" and then plays an shortened instrumental version of one of the following songs: The "?" button starts a game exclusive to this version, where Tad asks either "Can you find the (shape)?" or "Can you find the (color) shape?". The shape jingles have near identical tunes to the 2001 version. ![]() The shapes work very similarly to the 2001 version, although he still says "(color) (shape)" (like the 1999), and then plays a jingle. When you turn him on, he plays a very short jingle and then says "Hi! I'm Baby Tad!", and when you turn him off he says "Bye Bye". Since the songs (daytime and nighttime) have been omitted, the only interactive aspect of the toy are the shapes, which do not light up. It functions much like an extremely simplified version of the 2001 version. Below the shapes are 3 buttons "On/Off", "!" and "?". All buttons are now on the bib, and the blue square and green circle have switched places. It keeps the 1999 appearance mostly intact, the most major change is a much happier and cartoonish face. It also features voice clips that weren't in the 2001 version. It's notable for a variety of reasons, perhaps the largest one being the first time that some of the voice clips in the 2001 version were used, although at a slightly lower pitch. While it looks more like the 1999 version (except for the face, which is now made of plastic and doesn’t have the kiss mark), it functions more like the 2001 version. This model, titled "Learning Friend Baby Tad", is much smaller than any of the other versions, and is hardly a plush toy, being more of a handheld one. The 2000 version is an extremely rare version that seems like some sort of prototype for the 2001 version. Without input after 15 seconds, Baby Tad turns off automatically and says "Bye-bye!" He can be turned on again by pressing any shape, the lips, or either of his hands. If there is no input for several seconds, Baby Tad will make two attempts to get the child’s attention, saying "Peek-a-boo, I see you" and "Pick up Baby Tad". Pressing the ON/OFF hand turns Baby Tad on or off. ![]() The red heart will also flash when this button is pressed. There are also lips on Baby Tad's cheek that the child can press to hear him say, "I love you". You can also press the music note on Baby Tad's hand to hear the songs instead of pressing the shapes. Orange diamond - If You're Happy and You Know It.Purple triangle - Mary Had A Little Lamb.Yellow star - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.Each shape can flash when the shape game is played and if the right button is pressed, Tad says "Yeah!" followed by the shape’s name and color, and then a song. The 1999 Baby Tad version has six shapes on the bib: a yellow star, a purple triangle, a red heart, an orange diamond, a blue square, and a green circle. All versions of Baby Tad require 3 AA batteries, except for the 2000 version, which requires 2 AA batteries. There are also Baby Tads that speak in different languages, (Spanish, French, and German). The 20 Baby Tads has a bedtime mode, but not the 19 Baby Tads. The Baby Tads with the shirt and overalls have much friendlier faces than the ones with the bib. All the 1999 Baby Tad models came with Tad wearing a yellow jumpsuit with green frogs on it with a bib, and the 2001 versions of Baby Tad came in two forms: one with a yellow-orange jumpsuit and a bib, but instead of frogs, the jumpsuit on the 2001 version had musical notes on it, as well as a Baby Tad wearing a yellow shirt underneath orange overalls (2003 version). There are many differences between the 19 models of Baby Tad. It was first introduced in 1999, then it was remodeled in 2000, 2001, and 2007, The 2007 version did away with shapes and colors and instead teaches kids the alphabet, parts of the body, counting, etc. Baby Tad is a toy made by LeapFrog Enterprises aimed at children aged 0 to 6 to help teach them shapes and colors.
