LeapFrog Leapster L-Max Learning Game System

 

New in LeapFrog's line of educational toys is the Leapster L-Max, a handheld for kids 4 to 10 years old that connects to your television. Unlike the V.Smile, which transfers the same image on its screen to the TV, the L-Max puts one image on the TV and...

LeapFrog Leapster2

 

It's a good learning tool, but we wish the Leapster's games were as entertaining as its pure-fun counterparts.

Learning path software lets you track kids' progress; compatible with older Leapster games; good selection of learning games based on appealing licensed properties; inexpensive

Great learning toy

 

Great learning toy

This is the second Leapster 2 I purchased because the 3 year old just had to have her own. This toy keeps both girls occupied for hours and they learn on their own.

Great case for Leapster

We bought this case with a new Leapster 2 for our daughter due her first one breaking. So far she has been good about putting the game system back in this case when she is done with it.
