NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ Today LeapFrog®
Enterprises, Inc., the leader in innovative learning toys for
children, debuted an exciting update to its award-winning
LeapStart® Interactive Learning System. The new LeapStart® 3D
activity book system features an interactive 3D-like display and
touch-and-talk games to deepen the learning through a combination
of video, audio and print. They uniquely work together to reinforce
and cement learning concepts while delivering a magical experience.
The innovative product for ages 2-7 is on display at the 2018 North
American International Toy Fair®.
"We're always looking for ways to improve our successful
products and thoughtfully integrate relevant technology," said
William To, President, VTech Electronics North America, LeapFrog's
parent company. "With the addition of 3D technology, LeapStart 3D
can really bring the LeapStart books to life in a magical way,
providing more ways for children to learn."
LeapStart 3D is a "whole-child" learning system, providing the
perfect balance of core and life skills to help prepare kids for
the future and build a strong foundation for life-long learning.
With LeapStart 3D, kids can learn to count, read, build
problem-solving skills and more through fun replayable activities
and 3D-like animations that reinforce the curriculum in an exciting
new way. The stylus reads invisible dots on every page, triggering
questions, challenges, songs, jokes and more with accompanying
3D-like animations.
"Reading is fundamental for children and anything that gets them
excited about reading is beneficial," said Dr. Carolyn James, Executive Learning Designer for
LeapFrog. "LeapStart 3D encourages various types of learners by
combining engaging animation with tangible print books to not only
deepen the learning but also help with school readiness."
In 2018, new licenses featuring popular children's characters
will grow the LeapStart library, including the new titles Mickey
and the Roadster Racers Pit Stop and Go, Disney Princesses and
Pixar Pals. The entire LeapStart library is audio compatible with
LeapStart 3D, with select titles upgraded to include 3D-like
activities. The library features games, stories, learn to read
activities, creative challenges, problem-solving puzzles, math
mazes and more for 2-7 year olds with more than 30 activities in
every activity book. Most activities feature two levels of
difficulty so that kids can play and learn at the right level and
move up when they're ready. With 25+ books (sold separately) and
more than 30 activities in every book, the LeapStart library covers
over 50 key skills for every age level encompassing a variety of
school subjects and life skills from preschool through first grade.
The library also includes two Learn to Read book sets dedicated to
guiding children on their reading journey one step at a time. A
total of 400+ activities help kids build tomorrow's skills
today.
