My First leap Pad - any good

[popsycal]

Ds is 2 and loves books
Is it appropriate for his age range?

any advice or experiences appreciated

popsycal bought for dd and tbh she's never been that into it. TBH I think at that age they prefer a cuddle on your lap with lots of good books. Bad buy in my opinion.

that is what i thought.....just starting to think about xmas pressies....

Don't mention Christmas DD now 4 and TBH she's got everything she could possibly need already.

Things that have been well used: dressing up clothes, a wee trampoline (with handlebar) that's STILL in the living room and used every day, a musical globe and a wee piano and stool. Have you already got a ride on tractor?
DD was also well into jigsaws (but maybe that was nearer 2.5?)

Any ideas for a 4 yr old.

p.s. if you want to spend more, but Xmas maybe not the best time: Her most used pressie is TP climbing frame.

pops we looked at this for dd and it's basically a paper book stuck on hard plastic not to good at all.

You probably already know about the fabulous Tomy Aquadraw, but just in case you don't...........

elc

these are good dd loves these

ds got one for a present last Christmas and has 3 books although I think its only been used twice. I wouldn't buy it.

I would wait until DS is 3 and then buy the standard Leappad as you get more choice of books. My DD was bought one for her 3rd bday and she loves it - I was surprised how quickly she got to grips with it.

It does help if they have a favourite character (like Pooh) as then they enjoy the books more.
