The '''Alphabet Pal Caterpillar''' is a caterpillar pull toy aimed at young children aged 1 to 6 to help teach them learn the alphabet. It was first introduced in June 1999, then it was remodelled in June 2001, and then 2008. Alphabet Pal has 26 feet which each contains a letter of the alphabet from A to Z. The vowel buttons are colors red, while the consonants are colored yellow, green, or blue. (In 1999 models, the alphabet buttons had a specified pattern: red, green, yellow and blue).

The Alphabet Pal Caterpillar is a caterpillar pull toy aimed at young children aged 1 to 6 to help teach them learn the alphabet. It was first introduced in June 1999, then it was remodelled in June 2001, and then 2008. Alphabet Pal has 26 feet which each contains a letter of the alphabet from A to Z. The vowel buttons are colors red, while the consonants are colored yellow, green, or blue. (In 1999 models, the alphabet buttons had a specified pattern: red, green, yellow and blue).

Most of the Alphabet Pals have uppercase letters, though some have lowercase letters. Alphabet Pals come in a variety of colors, such as purple, green, orange, red or pink. Edison is on the caterpillar.

Alphabet Pal uses three AA batteries.

Modes

The slider is a butterfly (2001 and 2008 models only). When turned on, Alphabet Pal plays an opening tune and says "Hi, I'm Alphabet Pal". In 1999 models, the caterpillar plays an opening tune followed by the phrase "Hi, I'm AlphaBug!"

  • Off - This turns off the alphabet toy. To preserve battery life, Alphabet Pal says, "Thanks for learning with LeapFrog. Bye-bye!", followed by a short closing tune, and then automatically turns itself off after approximately 20 seconds of non-use. (In 1999 models, the caterpillar automatically goes to sleep by saying "Bye-bye!" followed by a fun closing melody.) The caterpillar can be turned on again by pressing any button or changing modes. The symbol is the word "Off".
  • Letter Names - Touch a letter to hear its name. The symbol is "ABC".
  • Letter Sounds - Touch a letter to hear its sound. Starting with 2001 models, Alphabet Pal can not say curse words (except for the extremely racist N word), it instead giggles and says "That tickles!" The symbol is a frog talking in 1999 and 2001 models, or a talking letter A in 2008.
  • Colors - Touch a colored boot to hear the name of the color. The symbol is a crayon (or a paint palette in 2008.)
  • Music (introduced in 2001 models) - Touch a letter to hear a song whose name mostly begins with each letter from Are You Sleeping? to Z-Wait for the Wagon. The symbol is a musical note.
  • Edison introduces his name to the alphabet song (2001 only). Once he's pressed again for the second time, an instrumental version of the Alphabet Song will play.
  • Alphabet Pal sings the Alphabet song when pulled.
