Pink Leapster Description
The Pink Leapster, like the other
Leapster toys includes pre-loaded games that children will
love. Rabbit River is based
on the Frogger game format but with an additional learning
element. In letters mode, kids guide their bunny to hop
floating logs to the other side of the river while jumping on
specific letters to identify them or spell out a requested 3-
or 4-letter word. In numbers mode, the bunny must land on
specific numbers on the logs to skip count by twos or form a
correct equation. Another pre-loaded activity is Color Corral, an interactive coloring
book designed to boost creative problem-solving skills. This
module is like a kid’s version of Photoshop and offers a
variety of scenic templates, colors, tools, and moving icons
that kids can combine for an infinite number of possibilities.
The included manual gives suggestions on how to reinforce these
math, reading, and art concepts in the real world.
The Leapster Learning System has been featured in
U.S. News & World Report.
With the Leapster Learning System children
can play games, read books, create art, and watch videos.
Aimed at kids ages 4 to 10 years, the 6-by-4-inch
Leapster is sized for little hands and
comfortably shaped with safe, rounded edges. The 2.25-inch
touch screen is ample for most gaming activities but a little
cluttered for the art and drawing modules. Buttons on either
side of the unit for thumb-operated control. The right side has
"A" and "B" buttons for selecting settings and answers, while
the left has a multi-directional gamepad for game play. A
stylus is also attached for drawing, selecting tools and
settings, and dragging and placing objects. The 3-inch backlit
display makes games visible in the dark and the animated
graphics are well done and suitable for this age range.
The Leapster toy does require the
purchase of additional
cartridges to expand its capabilities. Kids can choose from
a star-studded list of their favorite characters to play
educational games with, such as SpongeBob
SquarePants, Thomas the Tank Engine,
Dora the Explorer, Nemo,
Cinderella, Batman, and more.
Leapfrog’s own cartoon star, Tad, narrates a
few as well. Stocking up on the extra software titles gives
parents some control and input on which characters they’d like
their kids to learn from. haracters for these titles are
appropriately matched to the maturity of the targeted grade
level (pre-K through 4th grade).
