In Praise of the Leapster
Abby just got an early birthday present today and I have to tell you how much we are loving the Leapster!
The Leapster L-Max is a handheld game for little people (ages 4-10) complete with an interactive touch screen, stylus pen and directional pad. The child can play action-packed games anywhere - on the go or at home on your TV. They can learn to write letters on the screen - the letters you write will appear on the TV and star in an animated story!
This is an award winning game that helps teach letter names, phonics skills, rhyming, spelling, numbers, addition, subtraction, and music exploration.
Abby received a Dora cartridge, Disney Princess cartridge, and a Kindergarten cartridge. So far I have to say she loves it. It is easily used and she caught on to it right away with very little direction. Kids seem to have an intuition about technical gadgets…even 4 year olds! They rarely need instructions.
Abby also received a docking system that will keep it recharged, which I think is very nice. The whole thing comes in a cute little carrying case that has a hard side on one side for added protection.
All-in-all we give this TWO thumbs up!
