LeapFrog LeapsterThe LeapFrog Leapster learning system is an educational hand-held electronic toy, designed for ages 4 - 8 year olds. There are over 40 different games, all with a variety of learning outcomes, that you can use with your child's Leapfrog system. Once you have registered online, kids can also have access to different games and a variety of rewards, and there is heaps of support, forums and printable activity sheets.I always encourage parents to stay involved with their child's learning, and avoid 'pressure cooking' them to achieve levels unnecessarily, ie go at the child's pace and follow their energy and excitement for learning. The Leapster learning systems are also used in schools, and have been developed with early school learning outcomes as their basis. I see LeapFrog educational toys as a great tool for Homeschooling. Having breaks from round the table learning and switching to a Leapster game or activity can definitely enhance your homeschool program. I know a lot of parents use these activities as a reward tool for Homeschooling, or as a learning activity itself. If you keep the emphasis on fun, kids learn so much better, and don't even realize they are graduating through formal learning stages! I know of one homesick group that clubbed together to buy a variety of the games, and have a rotating lending library so the kids all get access to a wider range of LeapFrog educational toys. You could do the same with a group of friends or family members!
What's Your Favorite LeapFrog Game? Any Questions? Post Reviews, Give FeedbackClick here to go our mini forum where you can post a review, ask questions, give your opinion about LeapFrog Games. You might hate them! Tell us why.There are earlier versions of LeapFrog Leapster: Leapster classic, Leapster L-Max, and the Didj Gaming system. The newest line of Leapster hand held games is, the Explorer series. This new range is not compatible with the earlier versions, as the technology is far more advanced, such as more sophisticated touch screens and 3D graphics. I think with the exception of LeapFrog Didj, Leapfrog are continuing to support the older versions of Leapster, releasing new games, so buying a second hand version is still an excellent idea. They have also released upgraded versions of popular games, such as the Toy Story activities, in the Explorer versions. Learning Outcomes with LeapFrog LeapsterLeapster Literacy Skills
