And nothing sums up the strides taken in technology like the Leapfrog LeapPad 2 Explorer – green version, of course.

But like all good toys for boys, dads will find it irresistable, too. And their friends will be green with envy.

But the LeapPad2 will not just keep the little ones entertained and out of you hair – it will educate them as well.

The device has a faster processor than the previous version and has 4GB of memory with a five-inch touch screen.

With over 200 apps that can be downloaded the device is never stale and always of interest to the user.

Leapfrog Leappad 2 Review

The apps – little programmes, essentially – include creative inserts, music, videos and clever ebooks.

The LeapPad 2 also comes with five apps for free – a great idea because so often toys are opened and a lack of batteries or attachments make them unplayable.

These free apps include cartoon director, Pet Pad, LeapFrog learning songs, and art studio. And you get to choose the last one yourself!

But without the additional porgrammes, the gadget is full of features that will delight youngsters because it’s fully interactive.

The LeapPad 2 explorer has cameras and video recorders on each side

Kids are able to record their own astonishing reactions to the pad’s features.
And with the microphone able to record the squeals of delight, the gadget touches all the senses.

And these enable youngsters to learn while they think they’re having fun.
For example, the ebooks have the function so that children can press the word to find out how it’s correctly pronounced.

For the really creative children it’s possible for them to make their own cartoons – a concept that could only be dreamed about just a few years ago.

Old-school animators are stunned that children can do now in minutes what it used to take them weeks to do.

It is hard to disagree and a few minutes thought can provide numerous other areas of learning.

Another pleasing feature is the ability it gives to parents to see what their little ones have been doing – by connecting it to the internet.

This means you can keep track of what they’ve been learning and also share their pictures or cartoons with family and friends.

The LeapPad really does keep kids quiet while entertaining and educating them. Quite frankly, it could be the beginning of the end for parents.

The Leappad2 is available from £80 and is also available in Pink. You will find it available in amazon, Argos, John Lewis, Toys R Us and many others.

Vtech InnoTab 2 Learning App Tablet – Pink

Essentially this is a child’s version of a smart tablet and the pink version means girls can have gadgets, too.

Kids love the coolness of the InnoTab 2 Pink because it actually performs just like the real thing.
Just playing with the tab – or tab dancing – will not only keep children occupied, but will educate them and prepare them for the future.

As it is designed for children it is sturdy and created to survive the tantrums and tussles all parents recognise.

Vtech InnoTab 2 Review

One great aspect of the tab is that it is so varied and capable of so many different things – there really is something for everyone.

The Vtech pink InnoTab 2 has a five inch, LCD touch-screen that works in an identical fashion to the ones that grown-ups use.

kids can look at photos, watch videos, listen to music through its MP3 player, or read books on its e-reader.

The e-reader is particularly clever because children learn to read without realising they are doing so. The interaction and fun make learning to read much easier.

The e-books have great audio quality, vivid graphics and the stories themselves are wonderfully engaging.
Youngsters’ comprehension will improve and they will have fun with phonics and grow their vocabulary.
On the e-books, kids can press a word to hear just how it is supposed to sound, and this gives them more confidence. And the tab can tell them just what each word means as well.

In fact, the educational aspects are so good, it could have been marketed as the “teacher tab.”

Techno-loving youngsters can also use the device to record themselves through its microphone and they can even use it to paint pictures on.

Creativity is a prime concern on this box-of-tricks and it includes a digital camera that rotates – and a video recorder.

While most Christmas presents cease to be of interest by the end of January, the InnoTab 2 will continue to entertain.

It has over 200 apps that can be downloaded so there is sure to be something of interest.
In fact, the InnoTab 2 is so good, parents might become envious of their kids.

And if they are, they can register as users themselves – up to four people can personalise the tab.

Available to buy for around £85.

Leapfrog Leappad 2 Pink Download Apps

There are also 225 apps that can be downloaded and while these are purchased separately they mean that the LeadPad 2 is always new and interesting.

These apps include clever ebooks, music, videos and creative applications to name just a few.

It also comes with five apps – a great idea because so often toys are opened and a lack of batteries or attachments make them unplayable.

These free apps – or frapps as I call them – include Pet Pad, LeapFrog learning songs, cartoon director, art studio. And you get to choose the last one yourself.

But without the apps, the pad is full of features that will delight youngsters because it’s fully interactive.

For example, the LeapPad 2 explorer has cameras and video recorders on BOTH sides.

Kids are able to record their own astonishing reactions to the pad’s features.
And with the microphone able to record the squeals of delight, the gadget touches all the senses.

And these enable youngsters to learn while they think they’re having fun.
For example, the ebooks have the function so that children can press the word to find out how it’s said.

For the really creative children it’s possible for them to make their own cartoons – a concept that could only be dreamed about just a few years ago.

Old school animators are stunned that children can do now in minutes what it used to take them weeks to do.

The company makes the claim that the pad helps children in all the following areas: reading, art, music, language and culture, science, geography, mathematics and health.

It is hard to disagree and a few minutes thought can provide numerous other areas of learning.

Another pleasing feature is the ability it gives to parents to see what their little ones have been doing – by connecting it to the internet.

This means you can keep track of what they’ve been learning and also share their pictures or cartoons with family and friends.

The pink pad is pleasing to hold, robust and being so varied only a girl with the character of Veruca Salt could fail to love it.

An alternative is the Vtech Innotab 2.
