It is based on the ever popular Kindle, and tablet PCs, that are taking the whole world by storm. Let's face it, once the iPod became so popular, this is the way product creators have been going. They are all making small gadgets with a touch screen, and this is exactly what your child will get with the LeapPad Explorer, this will make them feel as though they really have got the same thing as their parents, or perhaps older siblings. The Explorer touch screen is 5", so is a good size, and has a high resolution, so it is very vibrant and makes the books and games that can be used on the Explorer even more fun, which is what education needs to be at a young age.

If you can teach children how to enjoy learning at a young age, it will hopefully go with them their whole lives.

Well the already mentioned touch screen is great for kids to use to view the books that can be purchased for the Explorer. These are available separately, and there is a huge range of them, so this will provide something of interest for most children. Some of them have themed characters from movies, and some of them are more educational, as LeapFrog products usually are. There is also a good selection of apps, again all made to encourage your child to have fun while learning. Because if kids can find the enjoyment in this, they will be much keener to do it, which, as a parent you really want.

But it is not all about reading and learning, so just as with an iPod, your children can also use it to take pictures, with the built-in camera. There is also a video recorder, and a microphone for them to get creative with. You can also connect to a PC, and upload these pictures and videos too. The 2GB memory also means that a lot of stuff can be stored too, so those precious pictures don't have to be deleted too soon. There is a stylus included that will make it easier for your child to draw, or write with, when little fingers will not be suitable.

All in all this is a great educational gift for kids, that will not be cast aside before Christmas is even over, you know how often that happens. It will be both educational, and fun, and should encourage most children to use it to indeed explore that world around them.
