What’s the best tablet for kids? Apple’s iPad? One of the Android tablets? Er, the HP TouchPad..? Maybe none of these adult-aimed tablets but one specially made for children - Leapfrog Tablet for kids is tipped to be one of the most popular toys this Christmas. LeapPad works with all Leapster and Leapfrog Explorer cartridge games. Unlike iPad and Android games and apps the Leapfrog Tablet apps aren’t priced from 69p or even £2.99. Prices start at £3.50 and many are £5 or £7.50. That’s expensive in terms of mobile apps, so you’re playing a premium even Apple wouldn’t dare charge.
The Leapfrog Tablet built-in camera allows kids to become the stars of their own stories. The Story Studio and Art Studio apps allow children to modify pictures they take and drop them into storybooks. Both apps are free and can be downloaded once you register the device. The girls loved the rolling ball game, collecting food for a picnic by tilting and twisting the pad - its very responsive and the games are intuitive. Like other Leapfrog games the pad remembers what you have achieved before so you don’t have to go back and start from the beginning every time. You can also set up multiple profiles so if you have more than 1 child they can have their own set up, unique to them, trust me this is a great thing.
With the introduction of the LeapPad, LeapFrog continues to distinguish themselves as industry leaders who develop innovative tech savvy educational tools for learning. Content is fun for kids, yet educational and varying levels of play allows for differentiated learning that gently supports a child’s success and mastery of skills. The sleek design of the LeapPad makes it easier for smaller hands to hold while added features such as the camera, video recorder, and microphone enrich educational play.
