It is a technological world and even young children want to be a part of it. I cringe a little bit when I see my iPad or smartphone in the hands of my six year old, because I know how easily he can be distracted and how quickly things can get broken. Just yesterday he dropped my eReader on the floor! Leap Frog has been creating electronics for children for years, and they continue to step up their game each year. The new LeapPad Ultra is a perfect example of this!
LeapPad™ Ultra is built from the ground up to be ultra-tough for kids and has all the features kids want. Play, draw and write on a 7” hi-res screen, designed with feather-light responsiveness for a kid’s touch or for stylus-based play. Capture your world in two ways with front-and-back cameras and video recorders. Add cool new filters and effects with Photo Fun Ultra, and create crisp, colourful masterpieces with the enhanced Art Studio Ultra app. Rock out to included learning songs or jam to your own music with the built-in MP3 player. Your pet can even chat and play with other pets in two peer-to-peer apps included!
The new LeapPad Ultra is wifi enabled and Leap Frog kept our children’s safety in mind when adding that feature. Kids can use LeapSearch to browse only the safest videos and images from the web in a safe environment. For added peace of mind, simple device parental settings make it easy to take charge of your child’s online experience.
It is important to me that my children understand how technology works without risking their safety, and this is the perfect tool to learn on.
LeapPad has a library of 800+ educator-approved apps, games, eBooks, videos, music and more. The library draws on 2,600 skills in auto-leveling games that adapt to your child’s pace in subjects like reading and writing, mathematics, creativity and life skills and science and social studies.
As always, parents can log on and look at the progress their children are making using the educational apps. It’s fun to get a sneak peek at the apps your children enjoy most, without looking over their shoulders.
I love the durability of the LeapPad Ultra and it is so easy to use that I don’t have to be sitting next to my son and guiding him as he plays. He can feel independent while I get a little breathing space of my own.
The LeapPad Ultra comes in green or pink and you can purchase it at many department stores or online.
