LeapFrog Reviews


  • LeapFrog toys are manufacturers that have been around for long enough to be trusted by parents and by educators. Their learning systems are geared for little ones of all ages and all languages. LeapFrog first revolutionized the electronic learning category with the introduction of its award-winning LeapPad Learning System. With more than 30 million LeapPad units and 72 million interactive books sold worldwide, LeapFrog became known as a leader in the learning products space by parents and teachers around the world.

    Leapfrog has always produced high end products with great ideas at the outset, but sometimes abandons the product line too soon, ending in frustration for parents attemping to pick out a new title for their obsolete product.

    LeapFrog School has launched a new, online version of Link to Lessons , an educator resource featuring easy-to-use classroom tools and activities. Designed for use with LeapFrog School products geared for PreK-Grade 2—such as English Picture Dictionary for Spanish Speakers and Leapster portable technology centers—Link to Lessons provides a searchable collection of more than 6,000 skill-based, standards-aligned activities and tools. LeapFrog has developed a family of learning platforms that come to life with more than 100 interactive software titles, covering important subjects such as phonics, reading, writing, math, music, geography, social studies, spelling, vocabulary, and science. In addition, the company has created more than 35 stand-alone educational products for children from birth to 16 years. Leapfrog might join the fray as a contender if its Didj learning/gaming system actually takes off. Retailing for just $89.99, this device targets the 6 to 10 year old age bracket that boasts some pretty advanced graphics for an educational tool.

    The Leapfrog Didj connects via USB to your Mac or PC through the Leapfrog Connect service so that kids can customize games and interact in different ways.
