Preschool Toys (3-5 yrs.)
Play like a kid, feel like a grown-up with Text & Learn! Children can exchange text messages with their puppy pal Scout, check Scout's planner to see what his week entails and more in the pretend browser mode.
Other learning modes let children get practice with letter matching, shape identification and QWERTY keyboard navigation, through silly animations and sound effects. Children also explore letter names and sounds.
Parents can connect to the online LeapFrog® Learning Path for customized learning insights and ideas to expand the learning.
- Keypad Exploration
- Exploring a QWERTY keypad exposes young children to the notion that pressing the keys sends a message.
- Exploring the Alphabet
- Even very young children can begin to recognize some letters, especially the letters in their names.
- Early Pretend Play
- Pretend play gives children a chance to act out different experiences and roles they see in their world.
- Following Directions
- Young children begin to listen and follow oral directions.
