"Hi! I'm Tad -- Leap's little brother!" - Tad, "Fiesta in the House" and "Fiesta in the Town"


Tad is a male frog. He is the youngest frog child of the frog kids at 3-4 (later 5) years old. He is Leap and Lily's brother. In A Tad of Christmas Cheer, he became a big brother to his unnamed twin baby siblings, which makes him the middle child of the family.

Physical Appearance

His usual outfit is a blue baseball cap and orange overalls (in 2003, the same but with a yellow t-shirt as inside clothes). In 2009, Tad's outfit is a red baseball cap, a blue t-shirt, brown shorts, and new blue sneakers. In 2014, he has a new outfit with a blue collared shirt, brown pants, and white shoes, and wears his glasses. In 2020, Tad wears a blue shirt with yellow number 23, brown shorts and red-white shoes.

Voice

Tad is voiced by Blake Marggraff from 1999-2001, Danny Walker (singing in 2002-early 2003; spoken in Leap’s Big Day only), Nicole Rapp from late 2001-2003, Debi Derryberry from 2003-2005, Nika Futterman from 2005-2006, Julie Maddalena from 2006-2007, Jessica Straus in 2009-2013 and Kira Tozer since 2014. On several early-mid 2000s LeapFrog toys, Tad is voiced by Amy Rubinate.

About

What's a little brother for? After all that of tagging along, you'll discover Tad, a 3-year-old (later 4 in the videos) boy frog, is not so bad after all and you have a pal. And of course, Tad's extra fun because he's super curious. What captures his fancy? Just about anything he sees and learns!

Personality

Tad, the youngest and latter middle child of the siblings, is a lively and childish little boy with a big heart. He is mischievous and playful, but cute, nonetheless. He only has good intentions for the most part, but usually doesn't know how to solve problems due to being young. Whenever Tad becomes unhappy, he will throw tantrums and get fussy, but feels better easily when Leap cheers him up. He can be hard to calm down when he gets too wrapped up in things. Tad is always interested in learning new things like the alphabet or counting.
