Tad
Tad is a male frog. He is youngest frog child of the frog kids at 5 years old from 1999-2004.
In 2003, Tad developed leukimia and he only had 1 year left if the surgery didn't get rid of all the cancer. Sadly, Tad passed away in 2004, in the arms of his parents and siblings.
About
If you've seen any little kid who loved to play, it had to be Tad, Leap's late 5-year-old brother from 1999-2004. He used to get into some mischief but always liked to explore the world around him. And of course, he wanted to learn everything from his siblings when he grew up.
Voice
Tad was voiced by Jaden Betts.
Personality and Facts
Tad, the youngest of the siblings, was a mischievous brother to Leap, but he was always a fun child to have around the frogs. In A Tad Too Much, he made too many fibs. In Counting on Leap, he rode on a scooter, crashing Leap's invitations and was assistant conductor of Mrs. Frog. In The Birthday Surprise, Tad sang a song called "Hey, Umbrellas!" to The Trick Umbrellas. In Tad Goes Shopping, Tad desired his wish for a big teddy bear. In Alphabet Adventures, he dreams of the alphabet, in which he learned with Professor Quigley in The Letter Factory. Tad was not happy in Tad's Good Night but was cheered up by his siblings and Grandpa Frog. He was lost in Lost and Found. He made a cameo appearance in Mole's Huge Nose, playing a lute. His favorite instruments are the piano, the trombone and the drums (in Fiesta in the House/Town). Tad took a walk with Grandpa Frog in Around the Block. He carried various birthday cakes in Pre-Kindergarten Math, a LeapPad Plus Writing book. He is also seen on the right side of the Fridge DJ Magnetic Learning Radio, dancing. Tad rowing a rowboat is symbolized for “Row Your Boat“ in the Phonics Radio. He also appears as a game board piece in the Letter Factory Game. He passed away in 2004 due to Leukimia
