LeapPad Epic - a Perfect Educational Gaming System for Kids

Every time we get new LeapFrog products I am always so amazed at the quality of new products that they come up with. I’ve said it before, but every time we see one of these new LeapPad devices I always think it will be the last because it is so amazing. Well LeapPad just did it again with the new LeapPad epic!

They chose the right name for it because my kids are already obsessed with the word “Epic”! Everything is Epic!! When we first got our LeapPad Epic we took it on vacation with us. Everyone was arguing over who got to play with it, so I told the kids I got to play with it first 🙂 I sat in the front seat and plugged it into our speakers of our car and we all played games with me holding it. One of our favorite games was the sentence game, but the kids love Octonauts, ninja math and the Preschool Games. The difference between the LeapPad epic and the regular LeapPads is that the LeapPad is an actual Android tablet. It has over 20 plus apps on it that are both LeapPad and Android. It does have the LeapPad internet on it which is a secure Internet for kids. We haven’t even set that up for our children because there are so many fun games already on the device itself that they don’t even know that games come on it. But I am sure there are going to be some excellent games that you can download on it.

The LeapPad Epic grows with your child. I love that about LeapFrog products. I love that in most of the games it also has auto-leveling. The other thing I love about the device is the green outer casing that comes with it. It is super heavy duty and will protect the LeapPad if it falls on the ground. The LeapPad Epic does not work with any cartridges from your other LeapPads. That might be the only downfall of this product but other than that it comes with tons of games already installed, and options to install more games.

We have an iPad, but it is only used for school time. I don’t have any games on it for the kids. I don’t like systems where my kids can get on the internet. We have a Kindle that my daughter got from her dentist. But the thing I don’t like about Kindles and iPads is if you download free games they always have ads popping up. With the LeapPad Epic those ads do not pop up which is wonderful. This would make the perfect Christmas present. I love the pre kindergarten and kindergarten games already installed on it. It gives me 30 minutes to hand it over to my 4 year old who is in preschool so that I can work with the other kids. All in all this is a great product and I would totally recommend it to any and all of my friends.
