LeapFrog LeapPad. A Tablet for Kids

LeapFrog Enterprises based in California has designed a LeapPad learning tablet especially for kids. LeapPad is an excellent educational device for kids between the ages of four and eight and its a fun, interactive approach to learning. Read on for a review of the LeapFrog LeapPad.

What is the LeapFrog LeapPad?

The LeapFrog LeapPad is essentially a portable (10 in x 11 in), battery-operated talking book equipped with an interactive 'magic' pen similar to a computer mouse. The LeapFrog LeapPad is unique in that it transforms LeapFrog's paper books into an interactive learning experience for children. This amazing learning device equips your tot with crucial reading, vocabulary and phonics abilities and also teaches basic math, science and music skills.

The LeapPad also increases your child's attention span, builds fine motor skills, visual perception, analytical thinking and attention to detail. Learning tablets such as the LeapPad (and related educational apps like Proloque2Go) are helping even autistic kids and other children with special needs discover a whole new world of learning.

How Does the LeapFrog LeapPad Work?

First choose from over 50 books from the LeapPad Library depending on your child's age. Simply pop the book into the LeapPad player and insert the cartridge. Then, with the help of the magic pen, your child can sound out words and letters, learn to spell, understand the meaning of words, hear stories and sound effects, play games, have fun with colourful characters and perform guided activities. There is so much to do, learn and explore on every single page. Your child will stay engaged for hours. The tablet makes learning entertaining. Now that's something you can't claim with traditional books!

What Features Come With the LeapFrog LeapPad?

This learning tablet comes with dozens of novel features that will keep your child (and you!) engaged for hours. The LeapFrog LeapPad can read animated storybooks, pronounce words phonetically, helps identify words and letters and engages kids with numerous learning-oriented activities. The LeapFrog LeapPad shuts off automatically when not in use for some time; it also comes with volume control and headphones.

We also love the colourful, aesthetic design of this educational tablet and the fact that it is built to withstand a fair amount of rough handling. No wonder then, that the LeapFrog LeapPad has won scores of awards including Great American Toy Test (Educational Category, 1999) and T.O.T.Y. Toy of the Year Award (People's Choice Winner, 2000).

Giving your children a solid educational foundation is now made easy with the LeapFrog LeapPad.

Go ahead; let them experience the joy of learning.
