As much as toy manufacturers like to keep their toys as rigid as possible, that task was made extremely difficult on the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer, mostly due its thinness as well as the size of the screen. That is why they decided to create a special case that can be purchased as an add-on.

Just like the toy it was designed to carry, the case has a whole host of other features and things that it can do. It was made by LeapFrog and because of that it has fantastic quality in terms of its materials, allowing a very snug fit for the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer. You can also store 6 game cartidges in it, similar to how you can with the Nintendo DS cases.

On top of this it looks very cool and stylish, a nice smooth design which also makes it easy for your child to carry. Your child will be able to take the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer anywhere, you won’t have to fear them dropping and breaking the toy thanks to the case.

The LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer case has great reviews online and as I said before, it is a great quality case that does it’s job very well!

In other posts I’ve gone over what the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer is, as well as where and how to buy it, but in this post I’m going to focus solely on why you should buy the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer.

When I talk about the two main things that this toy offers your child, entertainment and education. Usually with kids toys if it is fun your child might class it as “boring”, where as if it is fun it is usually a distraction to their learning. However, the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer manages to successfully combine these two aspects.

Firstly, entertainment. The LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer is very unique and versatile in what it has to offer. It contains motion sensing technology, such as what Nintendo have implemented in their DS series. The screen itself is touch sensitive and has fantastic graphics, when you bare in mind the amount of different media you can play on it you really get an idea of just fun this is.

And now for education, which goes hand-in-hand with the entertainment. Many LeapFrog products do well to educate children and help them with basic skills like reading and writing, and the LeapPad Explorer is no exception. The most exciting aspect for me are the interactive ebooks that make reading more fun by adding in moving pictures, plus each story has its own special dictionary to help your child digest the terminology.

So as you can tell, the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer really is something! Hopefully I’ve done a great job of showing how great it is and why your child will love it, but also needs it due to the educational aspect. If you are interested in buying you should read my post on the best place to buy the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer.

Hello and welcome to my blog about the LeapPad Explorer Tablet, In this post I will be focusing on the apps that the Explorer has. Just like the iPad, apps are a very important part of what the LeapPad Explorer has to offer and are sure to be one of the favored features.

There are many different types of apps available on the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer that involve doing a range of different things. They are designed to encorporate as many of the key aspects of the Explorer as possible as you will find.

One of the most innovative app types are the interactive ebooks. They succeed in taking reading to a whole new level, one that goes very well with the digital era we live in today. Each story comes with its own sounds, character voices, story dictionary and, wait for it, moving animations! As cool as these features are, they are also practical and help improve your child’s reading skills.

You can also animate characters, colour in, play games, create music and much more with these apps. There are so many different ones to choose from, and the majority of them include popular children’s TV characters like Thomas The Tank Engine and Spongebob Squarepants.

Each of the apps you can get for the LeapPad Explorer Tablet has an educational aspect to it, like the ebooks that I mentioned before. Your child can also improve their abilities in areas such as counting and writing with these apps. They can let their creative side go wild with all of the art and music related apps and games as well.

So as you can see, these apps really have a lot to offer your child, I really think they will be of great benefit to your child. Plus your child is guranteed to love them as they can relate to the characters and have fun!

Welcome to part 2 of this series of two posts showing what advantages the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer has over the Leapster.

As I explained in the last post, the LeapPad Explorer is an advancement on the things that the Leapster has already achieved in its 8 years on the market.

Another cool feature for LeapPad is that it has its own Story Studio, where your child can create their own stories. The best bit about this is that they can use all of the facilities on the LeapPad to do this, their own pictures, sound recordings, artwork and writing can be pieced together to form the stories.

In terms of the learning support they offer your child, they are pretty much neck in neck, as the the Leapster really excelled at this. They both offer word by word assistance to help your child learn to read more efficiently, built-in tutorials learning levels that automatically adjust.

The LeapPad Explorer however does have a few new features in this field. It has a fantastic new animated visual dictionary as well as audiovisual cues to sound words, both of which will be crucial to your child’s reading, writing and word knowledge.

The specifications are pretty much the same, barring the increased screen resolution I mentioned in part 1.

So, here’s the lowdown on part 2:

  • The LeapPad Explorer contains its own unique Story Studio feature
  • It also offers a new animated visual dictionary and sounds out words to help your child’s grammar and more
  • The specifications are pretty much the same

The improved features on the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer means it might be more expensive, if you’re wanting to find out the best price for yourself then click here.

In this post I will be looking at the difference between the Leapster and the LeapPad, to give you a better idea of just how good the LeapPad Explorer is by comparing it to its predecessor.

The LeapFrog Leapster was released in 2003 and was a handheld console, similar to the Nintendo DS that was released around the same time. In 2008 LeapFrog released the Leapster 2, but around this time Apple had a new gadget of their own – the iPad.

The iPad was targeted more at adults than the Nintendo DS was, but children really caught onto it, and LeapFrog were one of the companies that took to this the most. This year they have released the LeapPad Explorer, and one of it’s key differences to the Leapster is that it is instead an electronic tablet similar to the iPad.

Both devices work with Leapster games and apps, but only the LeapPad Explorer can work with LeapPad games and apps. A cool add-on is that the LeapPad Explorer has its own built-in camera and video recorder, where as the Leapster had them as addons.

The screen is roughly 50% bigger and the memory is a wopping 400% bigger, meaning that the LeapPad is meaner machine than the Leapster. Because of this, the LeapPad Explorer offers a better experience, as well as better graphics thanks to its higher screen resolution.

Both the Leapster and the LeapPad Explorer contain an e-reader, but the LeapPad Explorer takes reading to a new level, with animated pages that bring the stories to life. Your child can also personalise their home page with a picture of them self, create their own virtual pet and have fun with the animation studio that it contains.

So then, the lowdown for this post:

  • LeapPad Explorer has bigger screen and increased memory.
  • LeapPad Explorer has its own built-in camera and voice recorder.
  • Both offer e-reader capabilities, but the LeapPad offers animation.
  • LeapPad Explorer offers a whole host of other fantastic features, such as its animation studio.

In this post I will give you more information about the brand new LeapPad Explorer from LeapFrog, a huge breakthrough in children’s toys and the first electronic tablet designed for kids.

If you are familiar with the Leapster, you will have a vague idea of how the LeapPad Explorer works. The difference is that it has far more to offer your child. It has a bigger screen, 4x more memory and new features such as motion-sensing technology and a built-in microphone.

The apps are quite remarkable on it, most of them are purely educational and feature top brands such as Mikey Mouse and Cars. The apps themselves work in many different ways due to the versatility of the toy, in keeping with the versatility that Apple have instilled with the iPad. You can touch the screen with your finger or use a provided stylus and the tablet also responds to twists and shakes, much like Nintendo’s DS series.

The reading experience is also very unique, making reading more fun for your child. The stories contain animated pictures and touching the individual words sounds them out, helping your child to read. You can also adjust the reading difficulties of the stories.

Personalisation and interactivity are two key aspects to the LeapPad Explorer. Your child can add their own name and picture to individualise the home menu and create their own virtual pet to look after. Your child can also share all of their achievements online and you can have emailed updates so you can personally keep tabs on their progress.

So as you can tell, the LeapPad Explorer is a very versatile toy that has a lot to offer. Click here if you want to find the best place to buy this tablet.
