LeapPad Explorer

LeapPad Explorer is the fantastic new learning tablet from LeapFrog! With dozens of activities and games, a built-in camera, and with four apps supplied, this hard wearing product turns reading into child’s play and enhances creativity. It’s a whole new way of unleashing your child’s potential!

This toy works with all Leapster Explorer and LeapFrog Explorer cartridge games and downloadable apps. Tap the screen with the stylus, twist and shake it or touch the screen with a finger.

Use the versatile LeapPad Explorer to reinforce school subjects, or build skills from music and art to health and hygiene. The skill level for each child adjusts automatically, pitching the challenge so that they progress while being pushed just enough.

As children experience a new way of reading, they can touch the text to get the sounds of the words and help build phonics, vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Art and animation studios help kids to create their own masterpieces. With the photo studio, they can edit the images they’ve taken with the integral camera.

The interactive book “All About Me” in the story studio is great for sharing with friends and family.

Then there’s the Learning Path, which allows you to see specific play and learning details, including where your child either needs more help, or shines.

Make the LeapPad Explorer your own by adding your child’s name or choosing a pet to customise and nurture. Customised maths skills and spelling lists can also be set to drop into the action as your child plays.

Priced at around £80, LeapPad Explorer is ideal for young learners aged between 4 and 9. It’s brand new for this festive season, and poised to be a Christmas 2011 runaway bestseller.
