    Learning Skills

    Minnie’s Bow-tique uses beloved characters and an engaging story to introduce a core curriculum of Social Skills, Sorting & Classifying and Memory Skills. In a bow-making activity, young readers use memory skills to help Minnie “make bows” by listening to the bow description” and touching on bows and buckets of paint in the correct order. The story provides a perfect context for teaching a range of social skills—from learning what it means to be a good friend, listening, noticing when a friend has a problem, and lending a hand to help when you can. Children can also build important sorting and classifying skills by matching and grouping bows by color and size.

    Designed by Learning Experts

    LeapFrog has created a learning and play environment that is developmentally-appropriate for children ages 1 to 3 years. Minnie’s Bow-tique provides a curriculum rich in listening and observational opportunities in the context of a fun adventure. Your toddler is beginning to discover the wonder of books and how words and pictures on a page have purpose.

    The LeapFrog Difference

    At the preliminary reading stage, it’s essential for children to recognize that the letter marks on the page convey a particular message—the LeapReader Junior and Tag Junior reading systems (sold separately) have been carefully designed to foster this key understanding by allowing toddlers and preschoolers to touch on text and hear an instant audio response. Children can touch on illustrations to hear supplemental audio and amusing sound effects, too, which help associate books with fun.

    Innovative Learning Approach

    Designed by in-house educational experts, LeapFrog LeapReader Junior Reading System (sold separately) is grounded in the latest research for the richest possible learning experience. As a leader in educational entertainment, LeapFrog is trusted by parents to combine innovation with a breadth of play patterns to delight and expand learning horizons.

    Fun with their favorite characters

    Your child’s beloved LeapFrog animal friends are all here, and kids love learning with critters in a classroom! Build reading skills and have a forest full of fun with Sylvie Squirrel, Ozzie Otter, Olive Owl, Spot the Ladybug, Mack and Watson the Moth. Then, go from the classroom to the jungle on a light-hearted, laugh-along skill-building mission with everyone’s favorite member of the Stretchicus Apeilopicus genus, Stretchy Monkey! Finally, enter the Dragon Café where two funny dragon puppets impatiently await their dinner. These silly dragons demand more and more food…until the bill arrives!

    Personalized for every child

    Each game personalizes the learning to the child and automatically adjusts the level for just the right challenge. Ozzie and Mack ABCs starts at the appropriate age-based level, and children progress from writing simple letters to complex upper- and lowercase letters. Younger players get hints during gameplay and follow dots that guide letter-writing. At higher levels, they get more distractors and see only outlines of letters. In Counting at the Dragon Café and Stretchy Monkey’s Super Day, children start at level one and advance as they master new skills. They go from tracing curved lines to writing numbers and from matching colorful shapes to completing complex visual analogies.

    Curriculum that goes beyond core skills

    In Ozzie and Mack ABCs, young readers practice literacy skills and explore rhyming, critical thinking and book and print basics. They identify letters while collecting snowflakes and learn to recognize letter sounds while feeding a bug with an alphabetic appetite. In Stretchy Monkey’s Super Day, children help Stretchy make his bed and get ready for work and then unpack his bag and get ready for sleep. They also solve logic puzzles and navigate through the jungle to deliver bananas. In Counting at the Dragon Café, kids use number recognition, number writing and simple counting to serve tasty tidbits to demanding dragons.

    Learning experts create or approve every experience

    LeapFrog Get Ready for Kindergarten Game Pack was developed by educational experts to help children build confidence and core competencies for starting school. By helping Mack, Spot and Watson cross the water to reunite with their friends, children learn to differentiate between upper- and lowercase letters. As they swing through the jungle with Stretchy Monkey, children practice solving logic puzzles. When children prepare written receipts for their dragon customers, they level up from tracing shapes to writing one- and two-digit numbers.
