LeapFrog LeapPad Learning System, Pink

This award-winning educational product introduces children to the magic of books and reading. LeapPad interactive books and cartridges deliver activities that develop vocabulary, spelling, and phonics awareness.

With the touch of a magic wand, LeapFrog's patented NearTouch technology allows children to touch images and experience the next level of interactive magic. With full-colored animated books, silly sounds and fun characters, this system lets children learn at their own pace. Place a book on the LeapPad, pop in the cartridge and touch any page with the "magic" LeapPad pen to hear words and stories read out loud, learn letter sounds, hear colorful characters come to life and play tons of learning games.Teaches Reading Phonics and vocabulary Math Geography Music and science Foreign languages and moreAbout the LeapPad System Read full-color, animated storybooks Phonetically sound out words Provides layers of activities and functions for various skill levels Battery-operated and portable Retractable pen (NearTouch stylus) and storage LeapPad frame Includes one 32-page interactive book Interactive book features stories and activities -- Winnie-the-Pooh, Richard Scarry and more Can be used with the LeapPad library of interactive books and cartridges (sold separately) Internet expandable, so you can download new activities from the LeapFrog Web site and store them on your LeapFrog Mind Station Blank Cartridges (2 or 4 MB) Requires 4 AA batteries (not included) Awards 2003 Best Vacation Products for 2003, Dr. Toy 2003 All Star Award, Children's Software Revue 2002 Toy Wishes All Star and "Neo-Classic", Education & Learning Cateogy 2002 #1 Best Selling Toy Sold in Specialty Stores and Top 10 Best Selling Toy Overall (PlayDate) 2001 Top Educational Toy, Supplier Performance Awards by Retail Category 2001 Winner, Best Vacation Products of 2001, Dr. Toy 2001 Winner, Top 20 Toys, KTVU-TV (FOX) Great American Toy Test, San Francisco 2001 Winner, Best of Travel Category, Amazing Toy Awards, Babyzone.com 2001 Winner, Top 20 Gifts for Kids, Kid Gift-O-Matic 2001- eshop.msn.com 2001 3 Stars, Educational Toy, Canadian Toy Testing Council 2000 Winner, Best Specialty Item, Play Date 2000 Picks 2000 Winner, T.O.T.Y.
