LeapPad Platinum review

When LeapFrog came up with the LeapPad Ultra in 2013, I was blown away by how much better it was than previous LeapPad versions. Nearly 2 years later, when I heard that LeapFrog was coming up with a newer version of the LeapPad -- the LeapPad Platinum -- I was so excited to see what improvements they would come up with and what new bells and whistles it would come with. When LeapFrog sent me a review unit to try out, I decided to gift it to my 5 year-old niece.

PROS:
My nieces loves her new LeapPad Platinum! Her eyes lit up when she first saw it, and now she carries it around with her everywhere and calls it her special iPad. She plays on her parents' tablet and phones all the time, so she was able to get up and running and start having fun on the LeapPad Platinum right away. She loves taking selfies of herself and her little sister just like her parents do on their phones!

The new Imagicard feature (a set of special cards that kids can scan into the LeapPad Platinum and have the characters on the cards come to life on the LeapPad Platinum) is icing on the cake. She's already a big fan of Paw Patrol, so she was amazed that she could scan Imagicard with the LeapPad Platinum and see her favorite Paw Patrol characters join the videogame she is playing.


I've always said that the LeapPad is the perfect kid-friendly tablet and the perfect alternative to letting your kids play on your phone or tablet, and the new Platinum version is no different. It really does give kids hours of educational fun right out of the box, without any of the set-up headaches that plague parents when they try to make their devices kid-safe.

CONS:
Most of the features found in the LeapPad Platinum are the exact same features that I was so excited to see on the Ultra: the 7" hi-res screen, 8 GB memory, Wifi capability, kid-safe browser, 2MP front and back camera, 480p video, accelerometer, rechargeable battery.

The battery life of the Platinum (5 hrs) is actually less than the Ultra (8hrs)! I was disappointed to see that the Platinum was so similar to the Ultra.

Pretty much the only new feature is the Imagicard technology. Don't get me wrong, Imagicard is an awesome technology and it certainly enhances the educational and entertainment experience for kids.... but the Platinum sells for $129, whereas the Ultra can be found on sale for $64.99 (it originally sold for $149). Is the LeapPad Platinum worth the price premium? You decide!

Leapfrog introduces the Leap TV system

Just like they do every year, Leapfrog is all set to conquer the holiday season!  Their latest product, the LeapTV gaming system, has already been recognized as one of the hottest holiday items for children by top retailers including Toys”R”Us, Walmart and Target on their Top Holiday Toy Lists. What's more, LeapTV has already won awards from known and trusted organizations such as Dr. Toy, The Toy Insider and the National Parenting Publications Awards program.

We recently reviewed LeapTV, and we can see why LeapTV is sure to be on every child's wish list -- it's educational, it's fun, it gets kids off the couch as they play... and it's available at your local retailers for $149.99.  Check it out!

So what is LeapTV?  LeapTV is an active, educational video gaming system specially designed for kids ages 3-8.  Kids can play a variety of fun, educational games that grow their minds and their bodies.  Families with older children playing on Wii U, Playstation or XBox will recognize the LeapTV's components easily:  a game console, a game controller, a camera, and game cartridges kids and insert into the console, or download via the internet. At this point in time, there are 9 LeapTV games, created by educators and tested by parents and kids; by the end of the year, there will be over 100 games available for the LeapTV!

Kids can play on the LeapTV gaming system in 3 ways:

Body Motion: Kids control on-screen action via physical movements.  The LeapTV camera captures kids' motion as they dance, jump, twirl, and hop.  These video games definitely don't turn kids into couch potatoes!








Classic Control: Kids use the LeapTV controller in its classic position -- with handlebars pointing down -- to control on-screen action.  The buttons on the controller allow them to toggle between selections on a menu and select items.  They can also shake and tilt the controller for games like Kart Racing or the Disney Pixar Pals learning game.

Pointer Play:  The LeapTV controller's handlebars swivel out to 180 degrees for even more motion-controlled fun! Kids hold the controller in pointer position like they would hold a tennis racket or play sword (great for games like Jake and the Neverland Pirates!).

Here's what I love best about LeapTV:

It's easy for little kids to play
Kid love to be independent, and LeapTV helps them do things on their own. The controller is sized and shaped so that little hands can hold it easily.  Simple visual interface and audio instructions makes it easy for pre-readers to follow along. And kids who own other Leapfrog products will welcome familiar characters like Leap and Tad, the pet characters on the Leapband, and more.

It's educational
My favorite feature in all Leapfrog products is the educational components. All Leapfrog games help kids develop important skills in reading, math, science, and problem solving, not to mention fine and gross motor skills.  Leapfrog works the educational component in so subtly and skillfully that kids barely realize they're learning.  For example, in the Kart Racing game, players have to solve math facts in order to build their race cars, then on the race track they have to figure out simple patterns in order to steer their race cars through the correct gate.

It's a system that grows with the child
Each child in your family can create an account to play with on LeapTV, so parents can keep track of what their kids are playing and what skills they are learning.  The games adapt to your child: they level up or down to keeps learning at levels that challenge them.  Two children (siblings! friends!) can even play the same game and are given challenges for their developmental level -- so for example, player 1 might be given addition problems while player 2 might be given simple number recognition problems.  Your child won't be outgrowing LeapTV for a long, long time!

I do have a few issues with LeapTV. First, game loading can be slow.  Second, my sons found the game consoles difficult to get working properly. The toggle switch requires a very light hand, otherwise you'll end up selecting something that you didn't want.  Other than that, I think it's a great system, and the sooner you buy it for your child, the better!

Making fitness fun for kids: an interview with Mia Hamm (and a LeapBand giveaway for you!)

My kids have led active lives all their lives.  The Pea started ballet at age 3, and 10 years later, she's on a competitive dance team, taking multiple dance classes 4 days out of 7.  3Po and Jammy are crazy about soccer; they practice 3 days a week and spend their weekends playing league games and tournaments. They walk and bike to school. We walk downtown on the weekends and take them sailing or hiking now and then.

It's so tempting to feel superior and wonder why other kids don't get as much activity -- but different families lead different lifestyles, and getting physical activity can be difficult.  I should know: my childhood was nothing like my kids'.  I led a very sedentary lifestyle as a child.  I was driven everywhere, and although my parents put me in ballet and gymnastics classes, I never really liked them, so I never put in more than a bare minimum effort.  It wasn't until my early teens that I fell in love with volleyball and jazz dance, and in my early twenties that I started running.  So I know how challenging it can be to get into the habit of being active.

To help encourage parents to get up and get active, Leapfrog teamed up with soccer star Mia Hamm this weekend at the first National Fit Made Fun Day in Santa Monica, where families gathered to help set 3 Guiness World Records: most kids making snow angels, most people hopping on one foot, and most people doing a swim dance.  Leapfrog also launched their new kids' activity tracker, the LeapBand™, a new  which records kids' movements and combines screen time with physical games and activities. I had the privilege of interviewing Mia by phone a few days ago, where she told us all about Fit Made Fun Day:

Mia had lots of great suggestions for instilling active habits in kids from a young age.  Here are some of her pearls of wisdom:

• Keep it simple, not too many rules because kids will tune out
• Make it part of a daily routine (bedtime dance party to get the wiggles out)
• Invite friends and family to be a part of it
• Make physical activities a part of family gathering and events (football, wiffle ball game)
• Celebrate physical achievements - go to different parks, go ice skating
• Show kids that you appreciate having fun together

For school aged kids, Mia stressed the importance of letting kids follow the sport that they love, letting them enjoy the social aspect of sports, letting them pursue multiple sports (if they want) so they don't burn out, and being a parent ("a soft place to land"), not a coach. As for kids who don't like sports, even they can still get active!  Mia stressed that getting up and getting active doesn't have to be complicated.  Games and relay races keep kids active, but to them, it's not really a physical activity, it's just fun.  That's where the LeapBand comes in: it's a great way to make fitness fun by turning it into a game.

Giveaway: Leapfrog LeapPad2 Power pack

When the LeapPad first came out, I loved it for its innovative touchscreen design and educational apps.... but I always said I wished it came with a rechargeable battery.  My kids played with their LeapPads so much, they burned through a ton of AAs!

This summer, Leapfrog answered the pleas of many parents like me and introduced the LeapPad2 Power, an updated version of their LeapPad2 learning tablet with a rechargeable battery and AC adapter. It has all the features of the LeapPad2 -- front and back camera/video, 4GB of storage, large touch screen, and the ability to download and play over 800 educational apps.  In addition, the charger allows kids to play for up to nine hours!  What a lifesaving feature for long plane and car trips!  With the LeapPad Ultra out, the LeapPad2 offers a more affordable, yet feature-rich, alternative to Leapfrog's latest and greatest.  Check it out!

What Every Parent Needs to Know About Choosing Educational Apps and e-Games for Kids

I took my first computer class when I was nine or ten years old.  How times have changed! Technology is a part of everyday life, and children today are exposed to technology earlier and earlier.  What's more, they are utilizing it earlier and earlier too.   Most kids today are practically born knowing how to double-click a mouse and how to work a touchscreen.  Toddlers these days can unlock their parents' smartphones and pull up their favorite apps in seconds!

With so many mobile games and apps available, parents have to be as thorough in researching and selecting games and apps as they are in selecting any kind of toy or activity for their child.  They need to ask the same kinds of questions they would for a physical toy:  Is it age appropriate?  Is it entertaining?  Does it have educational value?  Does it develop any analytical or social or other skills?

I recently had the opportunity to interview child development and learning expert Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos, a UC Berkeley scholar specializing in mathematical and cognitive development and the math and science development expert of LeapFrog’s Learning Team (as well as parent to two boys). Dr. LeVos shared some great tips on what parents should look for when purchasing or downloading e-games and apps for their children. Check out our conversation below:


I've summarized some key points our conversation:

 What should parents be looking for to make sure an app is age-appropriate and educational for their children? 
* Look for games and apps that have been designed and/or approved by an educational expert.
* Find content that is fun and interactive. Kids learn best when they are playing, having fun and engaging with the app.
* Look for age-appropriateness. Games that are too advanced can be frustrating, and games that are too easy can be boring.
* Look for games that go beyond assessing or quizzing your child, and are actually teaching them something new.
* Look for games and apps that offer an element of personalization. Kids are unique and learn at their own rate, curriculum automatically levels up if child is doing well, and levels down if child needs a bit more support.

 How can we make sure our kids have a balanced "e-diet" of games that are entertaining and games that are educational? 
 Kids want to learn, and kids have fun learning. The best games and most successful games are ones that are compelling to kids, ones they want to play, and also happen to be educational. They don't have to be overtly educational like spelling or math flash cards. Games can teach skills like managing resources, building, spacial awareness. Also, when kids develop relationships with characters, like Elmo from Sesame Street they actually learn better from those characters.

Where can parents find more information?
A great online resource to help find the best apps is CommonSenseMedia.org.  The site has experts review the games and give ratings. Also, Leapfrog.com apps are developed with experts, and by year's end will have over 800 apps available.

What is the difference between free apps and their paid versions?
Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. Free apps are sometimes "shallow" learning experiences, and do not offer the depth of curriculum that you get in a paid app. Also, there can be hidden costs -- you may get one free level, then have to pay for additional levels, or there may be in-app purchases that parents may not know about until they receive their credit card statements listing purchases for virtual pet treats!


Thank  you to Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos for sharing those useful insights!

Leapfrog introduces its latest LeapPad: the LeapPad Ultra

When Leapfrog introduced its LeapPad learning tablet a few years ago, I wondered what they
could do to top it.  Now I know: their latest version, the LeapPad Ultra, has really (pardon the pun) leapfrogged its predecessors.  Leapfrog sent us a couple of LeapPad Ultras to try out, and my boys have played with it even more than they played with the LeapPad and the LeapPad 2. Considering they are 1 year older, that says a lot!    I feel like Leapfrog actually listened to the feedback they received from parents, because the LeapPad Ultra has addressed many of the issues I had with the previous versions:

The first big change is something you can't miss:  the LeapPad Ultra has a much bigger screen (7 inches versus 5 inches for earlier versions.  The bigger screen is great because young kids may not have the fine motor control to navigate smaller screens.

The second big change:  A rechargeable battery, my favorite new feature!  This was a frequent complaint of mine with the older versions so I'm ecstatic that Leapfrog has listened to me and other parents.  Now we don't have to spend a fortune on batteries.

The third big change: the Ultra now has built-in wifi!  Now parents can connect their kids' tablets to their home wifi network.  It makes downloading apps onto the tablet much, much easier.

The LeapPad Ultra takes full advantage of its wi-fi connectivity by providing a kid-safe browser so kids can enjoy videos straight from the web.  The browser only shows websites that have been pre-approved by Leapfrog.  I appreciate Leapfrog's concern for kids' security, but I find the browser too restrictive and I wish parents could enter their own websites in a "safe" list.

Another great feature that wifi provides is peer-to-peer gaming.  If you have two kids, get each kid their own LeapPad Ultra, and they will be able to play games with each other!  They can play simple games like tic-tac-toe....

... they can visit each other's Pet Pads and chat with each other....

With apps like Turbo and other racing games, they can even race against each other!

This makes the LeapPad Ultra  a lot more like a gaming console, so kids will still be playing with the LeapPad Ultra at an older age.

As always, I love Leapfrog's educational focus.  All LeapPad games help develop specific academic skills, and kids can play at a level that is suited to their age and level of development.  Leapfrog has perfected the art of combining fun (for example, in a racing game, kids can race cars against each other) and education (in the same game, kids have to answer math questions in order to build their own racing car)

The new LeapPad Ultra has been introduced at a slightly higher price point, $150 instead of $100, but I think the expanded features more than justify the added investment.  Get it for your 4 year old so he/she can grow with it, and you'll get a long, happy life out of it!

Encyclopaedia Britannica introduces the Britannica Kids touchTAB

Encyclopedia Britannica played a huge part in my education; without the internet or even a decent public library, our set of Encyclopedia Britannica encyclopedias helped get me through countless book reports, science projects and term papers.  Nowadays it seems like knowledge is only a search term away, but you can never quite trust all the information that appears on the internet, and there's no substitute for a respected, trustworthy brand like Encyclopedia Britannica.

That's why I was delighted to see that Encyclopedia Britannica has lent their name to a great new learning product for kids: the Britannica Kids touchTAB.  Made by Tek Nēk Toys, Inc, it's an interactive tablet that helps kids learn cool facts about a variety of subjects.

We recently got the chance to try out the Britannica Kids touchTAB, and found it to be a nifty little gadget that makes a great road trip companion.  Although the name suggests a high-tech tablet, it's actually a simple device.  It's electronic, but it doesn't have a screen.  Instead, uses interchangeable cartridges attached to illustrated cardboard panels.

To operate the touchTAB, kids slide the cartridges into the tablet slot so the images on the panels face outward, and it looks like a "screen".  They turn the unit on, and touch images on the "screen".  Each image has sensor marks, so when an image is pressed, kids will hear facts about the image.  The touchTAB comes with 3 cartridges: North American Mammals, Australian Mammals and African Mammals.  Parents can purchase additional content packs with 3 cartridges each: Days of the Dinosaur, Exploring Space, Incredible Earth and Amazing Ocean Life.

Obviously, the touchTAB isn't the most high-tech gadget out there.  But it's surprisingly rich in content.   There are actually 3 levels of content, and each image contains a different set of facts for your child to discover.  Kids graduate from one level to another by entering Challenge mode and answering a series of questions to open up a higher level.  Each cartridge has over 200 facts and questions!

What's more, having a simple device does have its advantages.  For one thing, it's really lightweight.  For another, it doesn't guzzle up batteries.  It also doesn't require an internet connection.  All those features make the touchTAB a great solution for car trips and plane rides.  Best of all, at $39.99, the touchTAB is really affordable, which means even aunts and uncles and distant relatives can afford to give nieces/nephews/family friends a touchTAB as a birthday or holiday present.

The Britannica Kids touchTab and all additional themed cartridges are currently sold at Target.com and will soon be available at other retailers such as Walmart.com, Toyrsus.com, Amazon, Fingerhut, and Sensational Beginning. The touchTab has a suggested retail price of $39.99.

Keep reading and learning throughout the summer with PBS KIDS

Now that summer is in full swing, you may already be tearing your hair out over wondering how to keep your kids entertained and keep their brains from turning into mush. Research does show that students experience significant learning loss when they do not participate in educational activities during the summer months, so I try to maintain an educational focus throughout the summer.  No, they're not doing homework, but I do ask them to read every day and practice their musical instruments, and I encourage them to visit educational online sites like Khan Academy.  Educational TV programs on the Discovery Channel, NatGeo channel and PBS Kids are always allowed!

Speaking of PBS Kids, they are a wonderful resource for educational summer activities.  They have all kinds of downloadable activity guides and printables to help keep your child reading all summer long.  What's really nice is that many of the activities tie in with PBS Kids TV shows that your child already watches and enjoys.  One memorable summer when 3Po and Jammy were 5, I held a Super WHY reading "camp" to help them progress from sounding out 3-letter words to reading 4-letter words and words with consonant blends.  They loved Super WHY, so they had so much fun, and their reading skills really improved!

With the tips and activities found on PBS Kids Parents website, you can easily put together your own "summer camp" at home.  PBS Kids has also partnered with Education.com to provide more resources for DIY home camp activities at www.education.com/read. Your "camp" can go on for multiple weeks, with different themes each week!  If you're at a loss for camp themes, just check your local PBS Kids station, because PBS KIDS is showing episodes from a different PBS Kids TV series each week, all summer long.  Each week has its own theme, so you can tailor your "camp"'s activities to fit the theme:

• DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD – “Let’s Play Outside Week,” July 15
• THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT! – “Let’s Get Wet Week,” starting July 22
• ARTHUR – “Sports Week,” starting July 29
• WORDGIRL® – “What’s Up With WordGirl Week,” starting August 5

Disney•Pixar Monsters University LeapPad Game: review and giveaway

The excitement is building for Monsters University! The sequel (or to be more precise, the prequel) to Monsters, Inc. opens in theatres on June 21, and this is one class that everyone wants to sign up for.  Unfortunately only monsters are allowed to enroll in Monsters University -- but there's good news for human children. Leapfrog has not one, but two great ways for kids to learn and play with Mike and Sulley:  the Monsters University game and book.

I've been a huge fan of Leapfrog's edu-tainment philosophy for years -- I can't tell you what a big help the Tag Reader and all its predecessors were in helping my kids learn to read, and learn to love reading -- so they sent me a review copy of both the new Monsters University game and book.  Check out my review of the Monsters University LeapReader book -- and enter to win both the game and the book!  This post contains my review of the Monsters University LeapPad game -- as well as the chance for an extra entry to my Leapfrog Monsters University giveaway!

About Monsters University Game for LeapPad and Leapster Explorer
In Disney•Pixar's Monsters University, winning the Scare Games will take more than a big roar—use your problem-solving skills to help Mike and Sulley! Using clever thinking and stealth maneuvers, make your way through different locations. Are your scare skills up to the challenge?

When you start up the game, a Campus Map helps kids easily navigate between the main game, mini games and extra features.

The main game challenges kids to become the best scarer ever. It has kids navigating their way across campus, through maze-like rooms -- the library, the frat house, the scare simulator, etc... --  in their quest to grab the pennant and collect coins, scare cards and room decor along the way.  There are 24 progressively difficult levels, and each level really puts kids' problem-solving skills to the test.

This is no ordinary maze -- you can't just look at a room and expect to make it across once you figure out the path.  You have to avoid other monsters (your competitors!), which makes it kind of like a Pac-Man game.  Instead of Pac-Man's vitamin pills, kids can utilize a number of strategies to distract or delay their opponents, like spinning globes to blind them or blowing out candles to hide. Kids have to solve logic puzzles and mini-games in order to unlock these shortcuts, so they really have to play and learn from their mistakes in order to progress -- kind of the way real people learn in real life!

There are also a couple of mini-games:  a Monster Matching game patterned after the classic memory game that automatically adjusts to your child's skill level, and a Guess Who game that challenges kids' deductive skills to figure out which monster holds the hidden key.  Both are easy, fast-paced and fun games that any kid will enjoy.


My favorite feature is the monster-maker, which lets kids mix and match monster body parts and come up with their own monsterrific creations.  They can even monsterize (or should I say monsterrorize?) themselves by taking their photo with the LeapPad camera and recording their own monster roars with the LeapPad microphone.

In addition, kids can collect virtual scare cards they can display in a Monsters University Scare Book, as well as virtual t-shirts, pennants and other Monsters U memorabilia they can display in their Fraternity Room!

How cool is that?

The Monsters University game can be purchased as game cartridge or as a downloadable app.  The game will work with both the LeapPad and the Leapster Explorer, but the in-game camera and microphone functions won't work with the Leapster Explorer.
