Leap Pad for 3 yr old

[UCM]

Could I have your opinions please. I have decided to leave the Thomas thingy for Christmas and was thinking leap pad for his birthday. I can't find any recent threads which are much help.

Are they any good????

Ta in advance.x

dd1 has a leapad, it's ok and she uses it fairly regularly but prefers to have a good book

I have a 'my first leappad' and a little touch. My ds likes them both. He likes books too and I dont think anyone would only have this and not books!!
I think the little touch is really good as it has 3 levels. must get more books for it!

didnt mean anyone would buy instead of a book just she gets bored quite quickly with the pad but not books, sorry hope this is clearer, best to get a collection of the pad books if also gets quickly bored

KJG, yes DS has the attention span of a gnat!! Maybe not then.
