The LeapFrog Interactive Learning Easel: A Fun and Educational Tool for Kids
There’s no greater feat than when you trick your kids into eating their vegetables-except, perhaps, when you trick your kids into playing with educational toys. The Interactive Learning Easel gives kiddos a fun new way to combine learning the alphabet, shapes and drawing!
Introduction to LeapFrog Interactive Learning
With LeapStart, the interactive learning system from LeapFrog, kids will have so much fun as they pick up new skills and experience different challenges, that they will forget that minor detail that they are actually learning through play. Whether your child wants to build on an already sharp skill, or tackle areas where they usually struggle, there are tons of different books available in subjects including STEM, problem solving, reading comprehension, phonics, communication skills, and more.
LeapStart Learning System: A Detailed Look
The LeapStart system is designed to be engaging and adaptable to different learning levels. Each book has a specific learning level, with four distinct learning levels that span the entire collection. The system opens up with a spot to insert the book, which then enables the interaction once it is turned on. For example, ABC Adventures is a Level 1 one book that is a preschool level and geared towards kids ages 2 to 4. On the other hand, Space Scientist is a Level 4 book that is made for 1st graders.
Throughout each book, there are four miniature pictures-a green star, orange stars, a light bulb, and a hand-located at the bottom corner of the page that talk when kids press on it with the stylus. Although LeapStart does come with a sample book, it mainly acts as a tutorial and an intro into all the fun activities that the system does.
LeapStart Platform Styles
Additionally, the system is available in two different styles. The Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten platform, which is white and green, features a stylus made for smaller hands and comes with a handle for kids to easily carry from their bedrooms to the living room to Grandma’s house. The Kindergarten and 1st Grade platform is teal and silver and features a sleeker design and stylus to help kids develop finer motor skills.

Interactive Learning Easel: Features and Functionality
The Interactive Learning Easel gives kiddos a fun new way to combine learning the alphabet, shapes and drawing! Start with the double-sided whiteboard/chalkboard with magnetic letters and shapes. Use the 26 letter magnets and the letter reader to teach kids letter names, letter sounds and words. The touch-sensitive book includes inspirational images for every letter of the alphabet.
Creative and Educational Activities
Guided art activities include creating art with dots, lines and shapes as well as encouraging kids to draw dots and lines in time with rhythmic music. Add music to drawing with four songs about the alphabet, colors, shapes and creativity. Use the triangle and circle shapes to create a picture of the cat-and add some ears and tail with the included chalk or erasable marker. Then use the letter magnets to spell the word C-A-T. Meowza! That’s a fun way to learn! Includes three chalk pieces and one erasable marker. Additional art supplies not included.
