LeapFrog's range of educational toys is exceptional, and this interactive flip book really has that "wow" factor. In the box it looks like an innocent book, but once assembled it provides absolutely hours of entertainment with a pre-school teaching focus. The book reads the text to the child, then its magic pen allows the child to touch the text and reread difficult words. Rather like a computer game, the pictures in the page also respond to touch. Each page has two to three games on it where the child has to answer questions on the text or the pictures |
The child only needs to respond with the pen, so children as young as three can easily play all the games. LeapFrog have made sure that this two-sided book packs in all the elements of a balanced pre-school curriculum. Numbers, phonics, pre-reading and numeracy skills come alive through the activities. Both non-fiction and fiction text is included with a variety of musical activities. There is even a volume control on each page for weary parents! Be prepared with four AA batteries (not included), and a small screwdriver. The instructions included are not specific, but the illustrations on the box are self-explanatory. Perfect for a rainy day or a long journey, My First LeapPad provides great value for money, providing hours of education and entertainment |
