LeapFrog Little Leaps Reviews

I received this as a gift last Christmas and it has yet to keep my toddler entertained for at least ten minutes. I keep trying it again every week or so and, at first, she is interested (I of course play with her and encourage her to press the right button for the corresponding color or shape or whatever) and I get REALLY excited when she does the right thing - but after a couple minutes she's like - NEXT! Maybe it's just toddlers in general because, honestly, I think this is really cool!

Any suggestions to make this more fun?

I READ SEVERAL NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON THIS PRODUCT AFTER I RECEIVED IT AS A GIFT.  I TRIED TO PROGRAM IT TO MY PLAYSTATION (LISTED AS A COMPATIBLE PRODUCT), BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK.

HOWEVER, I DID BUY A SONY DVD PLAYER TO TRY AND MAKE THIS WORK, AND ONCE IT DID - WE LOVE IT!!!  MY 2 YEAR OLD SON LOVES TO PLAY THIS, HE IS CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING IT IN TODDLER MODE ON HIS OWN.  I TRY TO TEACH HIM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, FROM NUMBERS TO LETTERS... I FORGOT ABOUT "FEELINGS ON YOUR FACE!"  THE THOMAS THE TRAIN GAME TAUGHT HIM "ANGRY FACE", "SAD FACE", "PROUD FACE", "HAPPY FACE", ETC... AND I WAS ABLE TO TEACH...

My daughter received this as a gift for her 1st birthday.  She was able to use it in baby mode right away.  Now that she is 18 months old, she is pretty much able to handle toddler mode as well.

 However, the drawback is that the system only comes with 3 demo games, and then you have to invest in the additional games.  They're almost as expensive as buying games for a Playstation, Wii, or Xbox!  Okay, not as much, and it's educational, so that's a plus, but with toddlers, it's hard to say whether they'll like it or not, so to invest in a game that's so expensive not knowing whether they like...

We bought this Leapfrog Baby, Little Leaps toy for my oldest daughter for Christmas one year and she absolutely loves it! Even our second daughter likes it! It is a very simple toy for children to use, you don't need to sit there and do it for them. It is fun and teaches the children many things according to which game you put on for them. The first one that comes with the toy teaches shapes, music, numbers and animals. We got them a princess one and it teaches about colors, grouping, dance and songs. We also got them the Thomas the train ABC and feelings game as well - they love it. The last game...

this is a great educational tool. My kids all love this toy. They love to watch TV and I love the fact that they're learning while they do so. I have 2 toddlers so toys at my house have to be durable, the little leaps system can take many beatings without stopping the program.  It does have a few drawbacks though, you have to be extremely patient during setup. Also helps to have a dvd player thats a few years old - it will not work with a HD dvd player. 

I am an aunt of 3 and have watched both my oldest nephews play this consel and games. They love it. It also grow with the kids having two controler sides. They get so involed with puppets on the screen and learn about numbers and colors. also aminals and the things about the world around them. They even learn songs. I give it an a-. why an a- well because you can't set it up to any tv. you have to have a dvd player.

My daughter has been using this for about a year.  SHe loves it and will play the same games over and over! It is a bit of a pain to do the initial start up, but after that its great! The original game that comes with it is more of a promo disk, my daughter didn't like it.  So we had to purchase a couple other games.
