LeapFrog LeapPad Debut

These days, time for myself is pretty much nonexistent. So I literally “leaped” at the opportunity to head into New York City for the day just to get a glimpse of this exciting new tablet from LeapFrog. So on a beautiful, summer day in New York City, I not only got a chance to play with some of LeapFrog’s new toys slated to hit retail store shelves within the next few months, but I got a chance to witness a demonstration of the  long awaited LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer tablet, all just in time for the holiday season to begin.

Here are some great features of the new LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer which is available for pre-order, now!

– The device has different applications that will encourage children to read interactive books, play games and learn to write letters

– The device is geared for children ages 4 to 9, and it can be customized for up to three different children

– By the end of the year, there will be over 100 learning experiences available for use on the device through online downloads, or cartridges available for purchase at big box retail stores

– There is a magnetic stylus that nicely stores on the side of the device

– A microphone, camera and video camera will allow children the ability to take pictures and movies

– Similar to the Leapster Explorer, if using the stylus, kids can draw pictures and stamp directly onto photos that they take

– Kids can hold the Leap Pad and move it from side to side for motion based game play

– I got a sneak peek at an exciting new Disney illustration program where children can learn to draw different Disney characters step by step. It can be then be colored in using the stylus and when it’s all finished the drawing comes to life!

If you are wondering what other toys were highlighted, stay tuned, for an upcoming post!

I attended an event by LeapFrog and was provided with a demonstration of the device. Any opinions are my own

  • I love this toy. Leap Frog puts out some quality educational toys every year. This will help keep my 3 year old off my iPhone. I have a an entire screen dedicated to learning apps for him. So this will come in handy and I won't have to clean my iPhone every time he uses it. This will easily be a top seller this year.
