LeapFrog Editorial Review
Everyone’s favorite toys are back in the Disney-Pixar Toy Story 3 Leapster learning game, offering kids fun “to infinity and beyond” while they learn math and letter skills. As they play games and earn point, they unlock all of the toys and return them safely to Andy’s bedroom.
Among the four games is “Kite Flight,” which gets kids working on their “ABCs” to keep Woody flying high on his hang glider. The game’s first two skill levels ask kids to touch correct letters. Level three is a great teaching tool for kids who are ready to learn simple three-letter words by playing a fill-in-the-blank spelling game. Leapster introduces the concept of distance for kids in a fun way by telling them how many feet they flew, inspiring them to do even better next time.
Another “toy-rific” game is “Hide and Go Sneak.” The toys are accidentally donated to Sunnyside Daycare and Woody sneaks away but has to keep an eye out for the patrol truck’s search light. Counting, number recognition and simple math equations are the focus here, and kids have to help Woody by answering questions in three progressive game levels.
Parents can keep the fun and learning going by logging onto LeapFrog Connect to access their child’s rewards, including dot-to-dots and instructions on how to build a kite out of standard paper.
