LeapPad Explorer and LeapFrop 2011

Since we are fans of the LeapFrog brand it's great to see LeapFrog's latest innovation to be launched later this year, a sturdy learning tablet especially designed for tiny fingers and hands. It's the iPad style toy that little kids can be trusted with not to break.

The LeapPad Explorer is for juniors aged four and above. Its features include educational games, ebooks, videos, maths and spelling lessons. We know kids will love this! We are greatly impressed to see that LeapFrog continues to make strides in making their products both educational and fun.

The device will be unveiled in New York at the New York Toy Fair this week. The technology also comes with a built-in camera, microphone, video recorder and a stylus to help perfect writing skills.

Games include a function that blows a leaf by sensing a breath. Another game flies an aeroplane by moving the device.

Analysts are describing this as one of the most exciting toys in a decade.
