Leap Frog and the Leapster2 Learning System

I would highly recommend the Leap Frog system to anybody who wants to help their child get a great head start in school. Leap Frog is a system that teaches your child many skills that they will have to know in school. The difference with this system is that it makes it fun to learn. Your child won't even realize that he is picking up the skills that he will need later on. Leap Frog has something for just about everyone. They even have programs for all the way up to 18 years of age. The one that I would like to talk about today is the system called the Leapster2 Learning System.

This system is appropriate for ages 4 to 8 years of age. This is a handheld game that helps your child with developing motor skills that are used in writing. The way that it does this is that it has a touch screen and a stylus. Some of the games that are available to purchase with the Leapster2 are Cars Supercharged, Dora's Camping Adventure, and SpongeBob. Each game is made to work on different skills. Cars Supercharged is great for ages 5 to 8 and it works on phonics, spelling, and reading skills. Dora's Camping Adventure is made for ages 4 to 7 years and it teaches all of the following items in English and Spanish. The items are animal names, fruit and vegetable names, shapes, colors, and numbers. SpongeBob is appropriate for ages 5 to 8 and its focus is on math and science. The approximate cost of the Leapster2 Learning System is $59.99 and each of the games that go with it cost approximately $20.00 each.

One thing that is great about the Leapster2 Learning System is that it has built-in tutorials. This makes it easy to know how to use the system. You won't have to worry about reading through papers after papers to learn what you need to know. Another great aspect about the system is that it keeps pace with where your child is at. It will adapt automatically to him. One last convenience that I can tell you about is that it is easy to carry along wherever you go. It has a great compact design to it. Next time you head out to do an errand you won't have to worry about your child being entertained.

This new Leapster2 Learning System also connects to your home computer. All it takes is the USB connection. A benefit of doing this is that your child can connect to the computer to collect rewards that he has earned. There is also a new online creativity studio that lets your child upload art that he has created. Once it is uploaded he can then embellish it or even change it as he likes. He can also publish it so that he can show others. Another benefit of having connection to the computer is that you get to see what kind of progress your child is making in the game. You will also get to see what he is learning at the time and what new skills he is picking up on.

There are so many opportunities for your child to learn and grow with this company. There is something there for almost every age and the company lets you know what age is appropriate for which games.
