When my husband and I got our first look at the Playmobil Cargo and Passenger plane, a ton of old childhood memories came flooding back. "Is this a new toy?" my husband asked?

Meet Scout, from LeapFrog!
Say hello to Scout! Scout is the newest furbaby of our family and if you haven't noticed from his bright green fur or his funky colour, he's quite the fun loving little guy!
