The Leapster Explorer works similarly to other gaming devices
for older kids and adults but plays age-appropriate educational
games. Kids will be prompted through gameplay to use certain
buttons, but the tethered stylus and touch screen are the main
modes of interaction. The Explorer comes with a free Leet
download that you'll chose from a collection of games and
activities on the LeapFrog site. You can access the free download
after connecting the Explorer to your computer with the included
USB cable and setting up an account. Other preloaded extras
include previews and trailers for current and upcoming Explorer
titles and Pet Pad, a digital pet that kids can design, play
with, and care for.
Grow Your Explorer Library and Your Child's Learning
rtunities
Though the Explorer device comes with a free Leet download
and a few entertaining extras, you'll want to purchase additional
cartridges and Leets. LeapFrog has created over 30 games and
activities and continues to expand its selection.
You'll appreciate the categories for Explorer games, which are
focused on specific skills and learning objectives. Games focused
on creativity incorporate art, music, and imaginative play, while
school basics games integrate activities for math, reading,
writing, and spelling. Some select titles will even help your
child learn geography, life skills, and science concepts.
Monitor Your Child's Progress
Be active in your child's learning by tracking her progress in
specific games and subjects. When you connect the Explorer to
your computer the first time, you'll set up a parent account that
shows your child's progress in different learning touchstones and
how much time she spends playing certain games. The Explorer's
tracking feature automatically updates your child's progress
whenever you connect the Explorer to your computer. This feature
shows your child's strongest and weakest subjects, and you'll get
to know your child's passions and preferences. This information
will aid you in helping them cultivate strengths and improve
weaknesses. And because the Explorer can hold up to three
profiles, it can be used by the whole family.
Other Expandables
The Leet Explorer provides access to Leap World, an online
virtual space where kids can create their own character, build
spaces, and expand their learning and entertainment
rtunities.
With the camera and video recorder attachment, the Explorer
transforms into a creative multi-media tool. Kids can take
pictures and video s, edit the material with fun
effects, then email the results to family and friends. These fun
projects can even be used in other Explorer applications.
