The Leapfrog Leapster 2 is the latest hand held educational video game system from Leapfrog, building on the success of the original Leapster hand held. The Leapster 2 is basically a hand held video game system (a bit like a Nintendo DS), except it focuses entirely on educational video games aimed at younger players (children who are too young, say, for a Nintendo DS, which would be the next logical gaming step for kids). The idea is that they learn as they play, and by making learning fun, they learn without any effort. At the same time, it keeps them occupied, and means they are busy playing stimulating educational video games instead of watching mindless TV programmes and DVDs. Playing games also helps to develop their hand-eye co-ordination and reflexes. This makes the Leapster 2 a great christmas present and a top toy for 2009 because it's fun, and it's educational and it can grow as your child grows simply by choosing suitable additional cartridges.
There is a huge range of compatible Leapster leapfrog cartridges as well, ranging from character titles like Star Wars, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Dora the Explorer, Batman, The Incredibles, Thomas and Friends, Finding Nemo, Spongebob Squarepants as well as loads of great non-licensed educational video games such as the Scholastic educational series which includes Maths Missions, Animal Genius, I spy and many many more.
All the reviews I have seen of this system have been really positive, so if you want to feed your child, or grandchild's imagination and keep them busy in a positive way, the Leapfrog Leapster 2 is a great choice as a christmas gift.
