Holiday Gift Guide | Leap Frog Leappad2 Explorer Kids Learning Tablet
Last year I was able to tell you about Leap Frog’s first learning tablet for kids, the LeapPad. We loved it so much that I ended up purchasing a second so they kids would stop fighting over it. When Kmart offered to let us review the LeapPad2 we were eager to see what Leap Frog did to update and improve the original model.
Right out of the box I noticed they updated the looks. The coloring is the opposite of the original with white corners and the rest green. The buttons are in the same position and the screen size is the same… I was intrigued. All of the changes must be inside!
My kids love to video the family and sneak pictures when we aren’t expecting them. Adding a forward facing camera to the mix adds a whole new level of game play. Now they take pictures of themselves making funny faces and doing goofy things. For some reason they love manipulating photos of themselves in the art studio more and I love to hear the giggles coming from the two of them as they stretch and rotate their faces.
Having a larger internal memory is a huge plus as well. I’ve learned that downloading apps is what works best for our family. When I have purchased cartridges for the two of them they get lost. Another reason I prefer to download them is that I have two children each with a LeapPad. When you download an app the program allows you to put it on BOTH of the LeapPads making it a much more economical option than purchasing two cartridges.
Having a faster processor in the LeapPad2 means less frustration and irritability from the kids while waiting for their games to load or for the LeapPad to respond. Best yet (for me)… the battery life is better on the LeapPad2… by an hour! We use rechargeable batteries for the kids toys, but having to change them a little less often is a blessing for me.
BUY IT:
You can purchase the Leappad 2 at Kmart.com
Don’t forget that Kmart has layaway, too!
