Leapster Learning Game System
Recommended age; 4-10 years
Suggested retail price: $79.99
This toy came with a Leap Frog game (featuring our friend Tad).
We also tested the Scholastic Clifford the Big Red Dog Reading software (ages; 4-6, suggested retail price; $34.99)
As always, when the test panel takes a toy challenge we invite older and younger siblings to have a play.
PARENT CLUB panel; “Leapster was given 10/10 by my two kids, boys aged 8 and 12. They thought it was fun, light, and portable. However, thought that if they were aged 4 to 6 – it would be perfect and that they would have fun and learn.
The games were too young for both of them, however, they still played for quite some time.”
PARENT CLUB panel; “My girls, 4 and 7 LOVED this toy. So much so, that we had to use a timer to respect turns. They enjoyed the drawing feature the best. Their favourite game was Clifford. This toy really caught their attention. As a mom, I loved the headphone jack. This would be a great toy for a long car ride.”
We should also note that the toy comes with an attached plastic cover to protect the screen. Plus volume control! Durable product, easy-to-change batteries and fits in your Parent bag.
Summing up the general feedback – this toy is a huge hit.
Thank you Leap Frog – we enjoyed the challenge.
Coming later this week; Parent Club tests Leap Frog (Again). Our panel results for some bilingual infant/toddler toys.
“Wow, what an amazing initiative by Parent Club! The Leap Frog program seems like a fantastic opportunity for children to develop their skills and reach new heights. I love how Parent Club is constantly innovating and providing unique learning experiences. This program will undoubtedly nurture creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities in young minds. Kudos to Parent Club for investing in the future of our children!”
