Leapster 2 Learning Game System is a handheld toy that connects to the LeapFrog Learning Path and is designed to help preschoolers learn online. They'll be able to play games on the go or they can log on to get more options and some great rewards. There's a library of over thirty games, full of characters kids love.

They will learn things and have fun at the same time.

Basic setup is relatively easy. Just install the batteries and navigate through a few screens to create users profiles. Then, use the menu screen to play pre-loaded games, insert a cartridge, or go online. Unfortunately, online options for the Leapster 2 Learning Game System were initially delayed by a month, frustrating many parents. However, they're now functional, offering all the games and rewards that were promised. Just make sure you have a little time to deal with the website and network.

Called the "next generation" of learning, this system has the lessons built in and they will adjust automatically to the learning level of your child. A touch screen and stylus aid in teaching writing skills. Designed for carrying along wherever your child goes, this is a unique system for learning.

Here are a few of the skills they will learn when they use the Leapster 2.

1) The alphabet - Since most children learn the 'abc song' before they start to pre-school or kindergarten this helps them to recognize the letters about which they are singing.

2)Distinguishing Between Letters and Numbers - This is one of the first things taught in pre-school and kindergarten. The difference between letters and number so that they understand that numbers are for sums.

3) Art is Self-Expression - When children learn they can draw anything they want, many times this is a way of expressing feelings and drawing the things they see in the world around them. A creativity studio is available to allow children to upload art they have drawn. They can change it or leave it and also publish it for later viewing.

This system is ready to go when purchased with starter games which are built in to the system. The 'Dragons to the Rescue! Learning Game', for example, is a type of video game featuring four levels of action. This game helps children to learn to recognize letters and numbers. The more advanced level coaches them on spelling and multiplication. By maneuvering a dragon around huge storm clouds and collecting magic crystals they learn how to distinguish how many crystals they have accumulated.

The wide variety of games that are available for the Leapster 2 Learning Game System is another great benefit. Children are more willing to learn when they are playing games that contain their favorite characters. When purchasing a Leapster 2 the price is about the same at various stores. The price of $69.99 may vary by a few dollars at different locations but this is about the standard price you will find at the retail outlets either online or by going to one of the larger retail stores in your area.
