GREAT for my 3yrs old and SAFE Toys 2012

The reason that most parents would buy this is for it's games educational value. Unfortunately I just don't see too much of it here. For example, there is a math dice game where the kids roll three dice and try to make the biggest number they can with it. This is a classic game that we use in the classroom. In the classroom game, the child is supposed to place each dice in the 1's, 10's, and 100's places in order to create the biggest number (while learning place value). In the Leappad version, there isn't even a mention of the place value (which is the whole point of the game). Instead the child just rolls the dice, places them from biggest to smallest AND THEN the computer turns that into a number i.e. 662 without explaining what's happening and the game continues. This may not sound like a big deal, but it is in essence teaching the child that 6 + 6 + 2 = 662, which of course is not true (and it reinforces a common mistake that children make).

Another example:

On the Alphabet Stew game, children are supposed to find words on a grid (Boggle-style). There is a list of words (i.e. 'can') that the kids must find, but strangely when the child taps the three letters on the grid to spell the word, it doesn't even say the word out loud. So they spell the word, but don't learn what word they're spelling. It's things like this that make me question who they hired to make these aps.

In conclusion:
I wouldn't recommend this product as a learning device unless you plan on only purchasing the books and videos. That being said, you could get books and videos without this device. BUT, If you want something to keep your kids busy in small intervals, this might do the trick.

* PetPad - an interactive app that allows your child to care for a pet;
* Story Studio: All About Me - an artistic app that allows your child to create their own book that can be shared via Facebook or email;
* Art Studio - an artistic app that puts all of the brushes, paints and art tools you'd expect to find in a well-stocked art class;
* Disney-Pixar Cars 2 - Referred to as an "UltraBook" it is an interactive e-book that allows your child to highlight the text and read along with the narration;
* Roly Poly Picnic - This game uses the tablet's motion sensors, so that your child has to tilt and steer the tablet to play;
* Letter Factory - An animated video that features LeapPad's own characters, Leap, Lily and Tad;
