LeapFrog Writer Review

Leap Frog has really improved the market of learning toys and activities for kids. They've recently come out with some wonderful toys and games for babies and kids including the Leap Frog Writer. The Writer, like other LeapPads, uses special books and cartridges to engage kids ages Preschool through the early Elementary years. It can read any LeapPad books; however the Writer includes a retractable pencil to use with its own specialty books. The Writer's books teach early literacy and handwritting skills to preschoolers, including numbers and letters, and has books for early elementary with "fill-in" answer blanks to improve its educational value.

I love the Writer for its ability to keep my 4-year-old son's attention for extended periods of time, teaching him valuable "sit skills" necessary for school. It is easy for him to exchange cartridges and books and follow the clearly voiced directions. The Writer also prepares him for older material in a fun way, keeping his focus with colorful pictures, simple games, and music.

If you've never tryed a LeapPad you should certainly go for a Writer and extend the amount of time your child will be able to use it!
