The Leapster Explorer is the latest and greatest handheld gaming system from LeapFrog, aimed at kids ages 4-9. It’s durable, easy to use, and my five year old daughter plays hers almost every day. Not only that, it’s educational, too. With over 40 games featuring Toy Story, Disney Princesses, Dora the Explorer, and more, Leapster games cover a wide variety of areas, like math, problem solving, English, geography, and language.
Games for the Leapster Explorer are available on cartridges as well as in Leaplets (game apps, videos and ebooks).The Leapster can detect the learning level of your child in each game, and adjust the difficulty accordingly. Once you connect your Leapster Explorer for the first time, an account is made on www.leapfrog.com, where you can track your child’s progress as they learn. I recommend purchasing a set of rechargeable AA batteries or the Recharging Station, as regular batteries will wear out quickly, at least if your child plays with their Leapster Explorer as much as my daughter plays with hers 
The Leapster Explorer has a suggested retail price of $69.99 and includes a free Leaplet download, a USB cable, previews and trailers for current and upcoming Explorer titles and Pet Pad, a digital pet that kids can design, play with, and care for.
I don’t think the part about “detecting your learning level” can be overstated. My 6 year old plays an Indiana Jones type game where he has to occasionally do a math problem to get through an obstacle. The leapster quickly learns that if you answered question 4 correctly, question 5 can be just as hard or a little harder. If you didn’t answer it correctly, question 5 is a little easier and it starts over again.
I absolutely love this feature as it keeps the kids on their toes. I will say I learned the hard way though. On a car ride he asked me the answer to a multiplication question, which I decided to answer not knowing about this “learning adaptation”. From that point on I was answering multiplication and then division and then algebra and fractions . . . argh!! The next time he played I told him it was OK if he didn’t know the answer. Now he knows every now and then he’ll be challenged with a harder question.
Great product.

My kids are college age now, but grew up on Leap Frog, and I am glad to see that they are still out there making learning games for kids.
I love leapster. When my mom went to the U.S. she bought this for my 3 boys and it’s just wonderful. I also have a huge leappad library of books. It has helped my oldest son learn to read and write in English.
All the best,
Eren
