Leap Pad

Leap Pad, manufactured by LeapFrog is an educational toy, which makes basic learning simple and entertaining. These toys are developed for children between the ages of four and eight years. Different sets of LeapPads cover various sections of basic learning such as phonics, reading, writing, etc. For this diversified world, LeapFrog offers them languages other than English, such as Spanish and French.

This computerised toy is designed by experts in the field of learning so that it is a complete package for parents who do not have to go for another set of books or toys. For instance, Leap Pad for phonics has a 12-book phonic program that introduces the child to phonics with 12 different fun activities. Next, it gives practice to the child with 36 interactive Smart Cards and 3 Activity Boards, which teach how to spell more than 360 words. It has three books that a child can read once he is through with the first two steps.

Read and Write Leap Pad, of course, teaches the child to read and write; however, what is different about it is the talking characters, narrations, melodious music and sound effects. The Magic Pencil packaged with the Leap Pad Plus Writing books enables the small user to hear letter sounds and, as the words are read out loud, the kid grabs them quickly with the right pronunciations. The child can also learn how to write and solve mathematical problems with this interactive book.
