She loved it and still loves it! It helped her learn her ABCs, how to spell her name, and all the sounds that the letters make! Haha. (I helped a little too, but I give credit to the leaptop!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lead-pad-for-toddlers#post-1161126 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 18:21:37 +0000 Andrea 1161126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Mrs. Jump Rope in that an iPad mini is probably a better option for that age range if you really want to get him something now. It's actually a lot easier to use than a Leap Frog. As @T-Mom said, the Leap Frog is probably better for a 5 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lead-pad-for-toddlers#post-1161054 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:27:31 +0000 MsMamaBear 1161054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get one for my 2 yr old, although it does say 3. BUT it says 3 to 9. That's a freaking HUGE age gap education wise, so I think I'll take my chances. I can always save it like PP. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lead-pad-for-toddlers#post-1160932 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 15:36:44 +0000 T-Mom 1160932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH insisted on buying my DD a leap pad when she was younger.. i can't remember the exact age she was but it was a year younger than the recommended age. I felt that she was too young for any of the games we got her. It didn't get much use, but I have been thinking of putting batteries back in it now that she's older (5) and see if she likes it because it was pricey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lead-pad-for-toddlers#post-1160742 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 13:04:38 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1160742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Chloe plays with our iPad all the time. We have lots of educational apps on it for her, and we watch Daniel tiger on it before naps/bedtime. I mentioned getting her a leap pad, but my husband would rather get her an iPad mini. We are considering getting one in the spring, or finding a used one to buy sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lead-pad-for-toddlers#post-1160716 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 12:54:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1160716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend suggested looking into a lead pad for my 20-month old because I mentioned how I use my computer for a lot of homework and J always wants to use it as well. Most of the leap pads say 3 year +. Is there one for toddlers? Or is it basic enough that a nearly 2yo could use it?</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
