5 Stars Great learning tool
My son is 5 in kindergarten and uses many of the leap frog tools as part of his home school. This particular one is engaging and with the rewards on the leapster web site, I have found he is becoming a child eager to learn.

5 Stars Leapster Wall E game
I bought this game for my son, 5, among other games for the Leapster 2 he got for Christmas. This is the only game he wants to play. He makes snowflakes with the picture making part. He knew his planets and the order previous to playing this game, but now he likes to show off when he doesn’t make mistakes. I think it is a must have for children with a Leapfrog gaming system. Friendly characters and fun games.

5 Stars Wall-E is a HIT!
Our 4 year old received the leapster and 2 highly recommended games for preschoolers (Petpals and Learn to Draw) for Christmas. It was his first ‘handheld’ game and I was hopeful he would enjoy it.

He liked the bunny game that came with Leapster but the other games didn’t seem to challenge him enough to keep his interest for long.

On a hunch, I let him choose his own game from the store and he picked Wall-E. He LOVES IT!!! He plays for hours at a time and is still discovering new games/levels to challenge him. I can’t wait to try more games.

4 Stars My kid loved it!
My kid loved this game. It stays pretty true to the movie and incorporates plenty of learning about the solar system into basic game play. It is similar to most Leapster games, so experienced kids can pick it up pretty quickly. The only annoying part is the “info-mercial” on recycling that repeats every time you play that part of the game!

5 Stars Engaging, Educational and Fun
My 4 year old loves this game. He doesn’t think of it as an educational tool, he thinks of it like any video game. I like it because he is learning so much and it keeps him busy! I often hear him laughing and giggling because of Wall-E’s funny antics. I recommend this game to anyone.

5 Stars Enjoyable, durable and worth the money!!!!!
I bought this radio as a last minute Christmas toy for my son who was 15 months old at the time. It was love at first sight.It was not only the hit of the day but the most enjoyable (for him) toy that I have ever gotten him to date. He carried it around with him most of the time rather than leaving it on the refrigerator but whatever works for him works for me. He loved most of the songs and played them over and over again. He knows all the songs front to back and it took him no time to learn which “station” to turn it to and how many times he needed to push the music button to get to the song he wanted. We also live on a second floor apartment and going though his throwing phase he tossed it of the balcony several times and almost 3 years later it is still going strong. Music, structure and magnet rise. While he no longer plays with it constantly I can tell you that he, 3 years later, still turns it on at least one a day. Anything that costs 20 bucks and lasts more than 6 months (entertainment wise) is well worth the money. I have read comments about the sound quality and loudness of the radio so I thought I would comment on it. The sound quality could be a little sharper but my son was able to learn the sons fine so no complaints from me. As for the loudness, I can hear it from any room in the house, any louder and it might be annoying rather than enjoyable. It would be a top choice for a gift for a child between the aged of 1 and 3.

4 Stars my 2 year old loves it
Once I was able to get her to understand to not take it off of the fridge, which didn’t take long, this has been a fun toy. Even though she likes magnets that are smaller that she can put on and take off of the fridge, I, as a parent, love this toy because I am not having to pick it up of the floor constantly like some of the other magnetic alphabets.

4 Stars Nice toy.
My 18-month old grandson loved carrying it around, pushing the buttons, watching and listening. A good purchase.

5 Stars best radio for a toddler
This radio is easy enough for my one year old to handle…not all of the toddler radios out there are really easy for them to use. This one has multiple songs that were new to us, as well as some old favorites. They weren’t as annoying as some other musical toys that play the same two songs over and over. My daughter has had it for 5 months and still wants to play with it daily. Her 5 year old sister even enjoys it, as well. Definitely one I would recommend and buy as a gift.

5 Stars Great musical fun!
Our 15 month old daughter loves all types of music, and we wanted to get something portable for her to listen to. From the moment she got this “radio”, she was hooked. It’s one of the first toys that she grabs each morning, and plays with throughout the day.

Pros:

- Good mix of educational (Alphabet Song, Days of the Week, etc.) and classic music (Old MacDonald, Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc.).

- Easy for a toddler to carry.

- Nice LED display with letters and numbers.

Cons:

- The “classic” songs are music only, no singing.

- The music all sounds a bit computer-generated (ie. MIDI).

- Adults might get tired of hearing that kid’s voice saying “All Right!” after almost every song.

5 Stars Sturdy, Fun ABC Puzzle
This is a great puzzle for many reasons. First for parents this is a sturdy puzzle. We are in a puzzle phase right now and this puzzle is not showing any signs of wear. Second, the pictures are great. Some of the ABC animals are not ones that you normally find in the ABC books. Plus it is a train and with a boy, trains are always great.

5 Stars Wonderful Puzzle
I bought this for my son when he was about 26 months old. At the time, he could identify all of the upper case letters. With the help of this puzzle, he quickly learned all of the lower case letters. By the time he was 2 1/2, he could build this puzzle all by himself, as long as I made sure all of the pieces were turned over for him.

At first, I only gave him 3 or 4 pieces at a time so that he wasn’t too overwhelmed. Once he got those pieces in, I gave him 3 or 4 more, until it was finished.

This is a great first puzzle because all of the pieces go left to right (excellent prereading skill). It’s also easy to tell if the piece is upside down so it minimizes confusion.

I have bought this puzzle countless times for gifts because we love it so much. I continue to recommend it to family and friends. Soon, I will need to buy a new one for my son because after daily use, it is showing it’s wear. But, it’s held up very well over the last year and has been worth every penny.

4 Stars My 2 year old loves this puzzle!
My 2 year old loves this puzzle. The puzzle is big, but she loves to see the train grow across the room. It’s very durable, and she has learned both animals and her letters and can do the puzzle now by herself at 2.5.

5 Stars Excellent for letter recognition (the ABC song is not just a song)
This puzzle is a great beginning puzzle for a young pre-schooler. We bought this puzzle for our 3 year old. It is challenging for her as well as entertaining. I rated this puzzle 5 stars, but if 4.75 stars were an option, that would be a more accurate rating. It is not flawless – the main problem is that Melissa and Doug illustrated “X” with a fox, which obviously does not start with X. Admittedly, there aren’t many animals that start with X. In fact, I can only think of xenops, and this is thanks to an ABC book my daughter had when she was younger. Further, every piece except for U is an animal – U is illustrated with an umbrella. This seems inconsistent. Unicorn would have been a better option.

Aside from these relatively minor flaws, this puzzle is fantastic. There are 28 pieces. Two pieces form the locomotive and the other 26 pieces correspond to a train car illustrated with a letter in upper and lower case and an animal (except for the aforementioned umbrella) that starts with that letter (except for the fox for x). The puzzle is 10 feet long, so you need a big space to put it together. My daughter loves how long it is. And I love that it is one long puzzle because this forces my daughter to think about the alphabet song, identify the letter that comes next, search for and find the letter she identified and then fit that letter into the puzzle. Before she got this puzzle, I *thought* she knew her letters and the alphabet. However, I realized that she didn’t really think about each letter she sang in the song as corresponding to a with a letter in the written form. Similarly, while she could identify a letter as written when we showed it to her, she found it challenging to think about alphabetical order and hunt for the correct letter – she had to picture the letter in her mind in order to locate the letter. Thus, this puzzle was highly educational for her. When we first got the puzzle, each time we sat with her and sang the ABC song with her as we pointed to the letters. When we got to the last letter she had fitted into the puzzle, we would pause and ask what comes next. Once she identified that letter, she would search to it and we’d repeat our previous procedure, singing the alphabet song and identifying the next letter.

The pieces are very good quality and I can tell that they will last a long time. They fit well together but are not too loose. The peices are nice, chunky and thick. As I mentioned above, the puzzle is very long, so my daughter must sit on the floor and sift through the pieces to find the correct letter. This makes assembly of this puzzle particularly fun and interactive.

4 Stars puzzle
A great puzzle for my 4 year old who loves trains and is learning the alphabet.

5 Stars A must for your little princess!!!
I bought the Leapster 2 for my 3 year old granddaughter who truly thinks she is a princess. This game is the reason she loves her Leapster. I am going to buy another one of these games for her Leapster at my home. Do not hesitate!! A terrific princess learning game that she loves and actually plays with often!

5 Stars For the budding princess.
I have a 5 year old who loves this game. She’s had it for about a year and it’s one of her favorites. It never gets old.

The player must find books and win treasures in the various games to fill Belle’s library and Ariel’s Cave. The games teach spelling, letter recognition, sound recognition, number sequence, counting, number recognition, addition, subtraction. There are three levels to choose from in each game. The kids pick up on it right away that the lower levels are easier.

This game is fun and there are so many things to do. Oh, and did I mention educational? I highly recommend it for any young girl who wants to be a princess.

Below, I describe the games available.
