 Inspires Great Interest in Reading and WritingDec 30, 2007
By Sarasyn
My daughter received this for Christmas with a number of books. We had been fighting over the reading and writing problem for quite some time. She's four and wants nothing to do with reading and writing. Shortly after she got it, she was sitting down wanting to do all the writing games. She's gotten a lot better with her letters and writing and she's had it less than a week. I think much of the value of this system depends on the books that you get for it, but I think it's already been a wonderful educational tool for her and she shows no signs of stopping. Now instead of dreading "school time", she keeps asking if we can sit down and do her school books together because they're so much fun.
The only down side I can see to this system is for the parent that thinks they can hand this off to their child and walk away to do something else. That may be the case after they figure out how it all works, but until that point, adult guidance is useful. It's worked out well for us because I sit down next to her and help her out a bit. Maybe in the future she'll get into it more and then will be more independent, but for now it's definitely something we have to do together.

 Tons of fun, but not durableJul 02, 2008
By Jessica Z
I bought this LeapPad for my son last year and my son has been playing with it for a year now. Today I bought him a new LeapPad book and only half way through the new book, the LeapPad stopped working. At first I thought it was the batteries, but soon I figured out the problem is at the wiring of the pen. It only works when I hold the pen at a certain angle. But how can you tell a 4-year-old to hold it still all the time! It basically is a piece of junk now sitting in my garage.
My son has been playing with LeadPad products since he was 17 months old. The LittleTouch LeapPad worked great. The 2nd one (My First LeapPad) broke after one year. Now the 3rd LeapPad also broke after one year. LeapFrog really needs to improve the durability of their products.

Discontinued at LeapfrogDec 15, 2008
By Shelley Johansson
I did not purchase this product as I found out from Leapfrog that they are discontinuing it. I e-mailed the company to be sure, and was told "We are not producing this item anymore but we still have inventory of the books on-line and at the stores." So basically, it may be a great toy but if you intend to buy it I'd be sure to get all the books you want now, because who knows how long they will continue to be available. Their "Tag" system is the new thing they're doing to replace this.

4 1/2 and 6 year old love itJan 06, 2008
By A. Hohne
I got this for my 4 1/2 year old daughter for Christmas with the reading and writing book and she loves it - her 3 year old brother fights for a chance to read and write in it too. We also got one for our 6 year old nephew who is in Kindergarten with the dinosaur book and he loves it too - he loved how interactive it was and wanted to show us everything he was discovering.

Corresponding age for corresponding learning level.Nov 14, 2009
By Jessica R. Barton
"Real smart Chiggy"
There are several Leap learning products out there but none so user friendly as this one. My daughter is WAY too young for this though. She's three and can't read or write yet, so the pencil inside the pointer was useless for her. Plus you have to buy the pecial books for that level of learning. It's age appropriate for post-kindergarteners looking to get a leg up though!
This is so inexpensive that whatever book she uses, even the higher level books she just really enjoys having the book react and speak to her. I'm glad to have her learn the vocabulary either way. Batteries last and last.
Buy a carrying case, this one is definately a great travel toy for the car.
There are several books that are more relevant to the pre-k learning level:
Leap Frog Stanley Surprise Safari Pre-K Kindergarten (Leap Frog, Leap Pad)
The Amazing Big Top Letter Circus (For Use with Leap Pad--NOT Included) (Leap Frog, Pre-K tp 2nd Grade)
LeapFrog LeapPad Storage System
