Leapfrog Leapster Educational Electronics

LeapFrog Enterprises is a Emeryville, California based company which specializes

in creating and distributing educational electronic toys.Formed in 1995 by Mike Woods, who was dissatisfied with the options in educational toys for his own son, the company soon became a leading manufacturer of high quality educational toys to teach young, grade school children subjects like writing, reading, phonics, and math.

The first product introduced by the company in 1995 was the LeapFrog Phonics Desk.This was a hand held device with a colorful row of letters in alphabetical order taking up half the surface area.It came equipped with 6 games, and a magnetic writing pen attached for use with a special writing surface so that children could practice their letters.Special electronic pens would become a staple for future LeapFrog products.

The company soon came out with the LeapPad system in 1999, which would become its flagship product.LeapPad was a special device that would hold specially designed books, and the device would read along with the children as they moved the pen over the letters. It had a long product life, only being replaced in 2007 with the Tag, a pen shaped device that would read audio when scanned across the pages of specially selected books.The audio information for the books can be downloaded onto a Tag device from the Internet, which makes it a far more adaptable tool.

In 2003, LeapFrog released the Leapster, a hand held gaming device specially designed for educational electronic games.This was succeeded by the Leapster2 in 1998.The Leapster and Leapster2 are cartridge based systems, and over the years have had approximately 40 games created for their use.This makes the Leapster the handheld gaming device with the largest library of educational software in the world.In 2010, LeapFrog introduced the Leapster Explorer, which also uses gaming cartridges as well as "leaplets", which are games downloaded off the Internet.It features a touch screen and a pen for writing practice, and allows children to do many remarkable things like read e-books and learn on a wide variety of subjects.

Another product that children love is the ClickStart, marketed as being a child's first computer system.A ClickStart computer opens up like a laptop and allows children to receive messages from their parents, and play several electronic educational games.With such a wide selection of educational electronic toys available for sale, LeapFrog is an industry leader in providing wonderful educational toys to excite and educate young minds.
