LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game System with Arcade Word Chasers and The Incredibles Educational Game

LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game System with Arcade Word Chasers and The Incredibles Educational Game
Binding: Toy
Manufacturer: Leapfrog
Product Description:
Here is one handheld gaming system that both parents and kids will be able to agree upon. The Leapster Learning Game System takes the brain-building principles that Leapfrog laid out in its earlier electronic learning devices (which have an interactive book format) and applies them to a video-game format. Leapster draws kids in with familiar video game templatesall of which have a secret weapon: a built-in learning component. LeapFrog hopes that kids will become so engaged in the gaming aspects and familiar television and movie characters offered by this toy that they wont even notice that theyre learning and reinforcing valuable reading, math, and language skills.

Aimed at 4- to 10-year-olds, the 6-by-4-inch Leapster is sized for little hands and comfortably shaped with safe, rounded edges. The 2-1/4-inch touch screen is ample for most of the gaming activities; although a little cluttered when used for the art and drawing modules. Buttons are suitably placed on either side of the unit for thumb-operated control. The right side features "A" and "B" buttons for selecting settings and answers while the left has a multi-directional gamepad for game play. A pen is also attached for drawing, selecting tools and settings, and dragging and placing objects. The 3-inch backlit display makes games visible in the dark (although parents will prefer that the Leapster is shut off at bedtime) and the animated graphics, while not completely state-of-the-art are well done and suitable for this age range.

As with the manufacturer's LeapPad products, the Leapster does require the purchase of additional cartridges to expand its capabilities. Kids can choose titles with their favorite characters to play educational games with.

LeapFrog Little Touch Libary: Guess How Much I Love You
Lots of fun.
My husband and I purchased this Leapster for our 6-year-old daughter for Christmas. She loves it!! She loves to learn and this reinforces that. I have found on several occasions our 8-year-old son playing with it as well and he seems to enjoy it also, maybe not as much as the DS or PSP, but its educational and he chose to play it himself. They both seem to really love the Scooby-Doo game the most. My daughter had no problems learning to handle the games or system. The instructions are very clear. Leapfrog has done a wonderful job with this handheld.

Product Description:
Here's another great LeapFrog innovation that lets children play and learn at the same time. The Imagination Desk Learning System teaches kids letters, numbers, phonics, counting, and vocabulary on a lively multimedia desk. As a child colors in the pages, they come to life with characters, games, and music that teach letters, colors, and other preschool skills. Three engaging modes (learn, game, and music) offer tons of variety for kids as they play, extending both the fun and appeal of the desk. The set includes the interactive learning desk, the "Let's Learn Letters" coloring book, and crayons. The unit features volume control, storage for templates and supplies, and a carrying handle. It uses four AA batteries (not included).

Leap Frog Imagination Desk
Wonderful for the artistic/musical child
I got this toy for my 5 year old son for a Christmas present last year. He wanted to just sit and color and didn't want to stop to open the rest of his presents. He loves to color and also loves music so this toy was just right for him. He sings along as he colors. Leaps repetition gets to me after a while but my son doesn't seem to mind. His teacher said repetition is important at that age and helps them learn. He can change the pages himself but the little door where the crayons go does come off and we are always putting that back in place. We have a mindstation and print new pages for him all the time. After a year it is still working great.

My First LeapPad "Leap" Replacement Pen, LeapFrog
Good solution
Pen is easy to replace and "fixed" the problem of our leap pads not responding. Much more cost effective than buying a new my first leap pad. I do not know how many hours were logged on the original pen before we needed the replacement and am curious to see how long the replacement is effective.
