This best learning toy is really well designed. It uses a D-pad, dials, spinner and slider remote to play one of 12 pre-loaded games. The games are educational in nature and explore simple math, reading and science concepts. Each game brings up the controls needed to play, making it very intuitive. Bonus points for the built-in MP3 player that allows kids of all ages to listen to their own songs.

In addition to the Leapfrog name, we’re impressed that this learning toy received the Toy of the Year Finalist 2020 award from the Toy Association, an organization that advocates for the business interests of toy companies. This is a very important award, as over 500 nominees from more than 200 companies are considered each year. This gives us great confidence that children will learn and grow after a few games of play.
