1. If you want to support your sons or daughters to make and learn for example his studies in class
you may well be have to have a tool called practicing tablet. The most popular in learning tablet
for the children is Leapfrog Tablet. With Leapfrog Tablet provides you with entry to more than
100 educational books, games, videos, and apps. Subjects like mathematics, reading, and science
are covered in a fun and interactive way. The LeapPad’s built-in camera can shoot video,

The Leap Pad tablet has a excellent 5 various display screen. It's large and bright. you didn’t see
a way to control the brightness. The screen is larger than numerous product like as leapPad. The
display screen, which measures 3.2. The resolution for the LeapPad is 480 x 272, and this is my
favourite features is a touch screen. You need to use your finger or the supplied stylus. The
stylus is magnetic, but it really can be harnessed to the device with a supplied cord. An
additional stylus is supplied in case one gets broken or lost. That has happened 3 times to us with
other Leapsters - so it is great having that extra on hand.

their study at home. The leap pad tablet have many features like as :
A library of 100+ cartridge games, apps, digital books, videos and flash cards (sold
separately, works with all Leapster Explorer games and apps)

Customer Reviews
" Hi! I am Erin T. and I run a website called theMomBuzz. Recently I received a
LeapPad from LeapFrog to review and I am sharing my thoughts here on Amazon.
The LeapPad has a great 5" screen. It is large and bright. I didn't see a way to
control the brightness. The screen is larger than the Leapster Explorer Screen,
which measures 3.2". The resolution for the LeapPad is 480 x 272. (The Leapster
Explorer was 420 x 420.) It is a touch screen. You can use your finger or the
supplied stylus. The stylus is magnetic, but it can be harnessed to the device with a
supplied cord. An extra stylus is supplied in case one gets broken or lost. That has
happened 3 times to us with other Leapsters - so it is great having that extra on
hand.
The LeapPad device is white with green accents. There is also a violet option, which
is nice for the girls. On the front of the tablet there is a power button, sound down
and sound up button, and home button. There is also a large silver button that can
be used like a finger control, to move a cursor up, down, left, right or explore other
options.
The LeapPad comes with a camera, video recorder and microphone. The camera
can take 30,000 pictures and the LeapPad can record 120 minutes of video.
GAMES & ACTIVITIES:
The LeapPad is similar to the Leapster Explorer in what kids can do with it. They
can read e-books, play learning games, enhance art and animation skills, listen to
and play music, learn writing, watch videos, and do flash cards. It also has a built-
in camera and video recorder, while that requires an additional accessory for the
Leapster Explorer.
One thing I LOVE about the LeapPad is that it works with other Leapster Explorer
Games and Apps! That means if I download an app for my son's Leapster Explorer,
I can also upload it onto my other son's LeapPad. And the boys can also share
cartridges. And with the LeapPad came a HUGE library of game cartridges and apps
to choose from. Most games and apps are extra, though, not included with a
LeapPad purchase.
3. What game(s) do come with your LeapPad purchase?
1. PetPad: Learn to draw letters while teaching a custom pet tricks. Keep your pet
healthy and clean with feeding and washing. The Leapster Explorer also comes with
PetPad, but with the LeapPad kids can use the microphone to "blow dry" their pet,
they shake the device to help their pet JUMP over a pond to pop balloons and they
can even tilt the device to move the pet as it follows them onto their home page.
You need to connect the LeapPad to your computer to use collected points to
purchase food and accessories for the pet. Don't worry - it won't die if you don't do
it. But it encourages you as a parent to connect the game to the computer so you
can track your child's learning progress.
2. Story Studio: All About Me: The artwork, photos, writing and recordings kids
create all culminate in the Story Studio experience. In the Story Studio, kids create
their own book that can be uploaded to view in LeapFrog Connect or shared with
friends via Facebook or e-mail.
3. Art Studio: I am SO THRILLED that Art Studio was included with the LeapPad.
The Leapster Explorer didn't have an included Art Program - so my boys were using
the Art Studio from Mr. Pencil or Tangled to get creative. The Leapster 2 DID come
with an Art Studio, so I was a little sad when I found out the Leapster Explorer
didn't. And whenever a parent asked me what game to get for their new Leapster
Explorer, I always said, "Mr. Pencil saves Doodleburg," because it was educational
and creative. But with the included Art Studio, it gives me more options for what
games we can get next. With the Art Studio the boys use stamps, shapes, pattern
brushes, pencils, erasers (all virtual) to create pictures and express their creativity.
4. Camera/ Video Recorder: The LeapPad has a built-in camera and video recorder.
My son used it immediately to take a picture of me. And then I used it to take a
picture of HIM for his profile. That's when I realized that the camera is low-res. He
loves taking photos and videos, but he can tell the difference of quality. But it is
good for the purpose and helps keep the cost of the product lower than if it was a
higher-res camera. With the camera kids can take pictures and videos and then add
fun effects.
Additional games, books and videos have to be added either as an app or with a
cartridge. Remember, there is a library of over 100 choices. Additional apps and
games are separate reviews on theMomBuzz. Please refer to the bottom of the post
to connect you to these other reviews.
WHO TO BUY THIS FOR:
4. The LeapPad is designed for children 4 to 9. I would actually feel comfortable giving
this to an advanced, tech savvy 2 year old. (Parents and grandparents will know
who I am talking about! So many toddlers can use a smart phone better than an
adult. This is a much better alternative to giving a toddler your precious iPad.)
WHY BUY IT?
Why do I suggest the LeapPad for kids 2 - 6? Well, my sons have owned a Leapster
since they were 2 and I feel that the educational games have helped them with
their writing, science and match skills. It's a creative outlet. And it's a great way to
disguise learning as fun. I know some parents purchase the Nintendo DSis and
other handhelds, but we've gotten away without needing to purchase one yet -
even though their cousins own those handhelds. My kids have been happy with
their Leapsters and the new LeapPad as their handheld and entertainment of
choice. And I prefer it to, knowing the games were designed with learning in mind.
Plus, the Leapster Explorer and the LeapPad are great that you can keep
challenging them with new apps, they are cross-compatible to take each other's
games and the LeapPad remembers your child's progress from game-to-game and
book-to-book.
Finally, maybe you are trying to decide between the Leapster Explorer and the
LeapPad. Both are EXCELLENT devices. I :heart: them both. But with the LeapPad
you are getting the camera/video recorder built in, it has a microphone, it has a
larger screen and kids will experience a new way of reading with Ultra eBooks, an
interactive cinematic reading experience. (I'll post more about that this week when
I review the Cars2 Ultra eBook.)
MORE THAN ONE PLAYER:
The LeapPad does allow for more than one person to sign-on to the game. Only one
person can play at a time. But... if my oldest is in school and my youngest wants to
play, I can sign-in under his name. So then the LeapPad will know that the younger
brother is playing and will adjust the settings to make the games challenging
enough for his level of learning.
And I have to say, when I first turned this on (after my 5-year old had been playing
for a few hours) I saw that he created a profile for ME. How sweet is that? He had
my name, my picture and chose a nice pink background for me. :heart:
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES:
5. I am also really excited that this is the first LeapFrog device I own that accepts
rechargeable batteries. Previously all the devices stated that peak performance
wouldn't occur with those batteries. But that has changed now! And trust me, your
kids will be running down the batteries in the beginning as they won't want to go
anywhere without the LeapPad.
WHAT IT COMES WITH:
When you purchase the LeapPad, it comes with a CD to get LeapFrog Connect on
your computer, a USB cord and an extra stylus.
WHAT YOU MAY WANT TO BUY:
* LeapPad Case to keep it protected when not in use
* LeapPad Gel Skin to protect it when being used
* Headphones so you don't have to listen to the games when traveling or in an
office
