    Fisher-Price Smart Cycle
       
    Today I break from the usual of bringing you unusual and new toys to bring something that’s been around for a little while but continues to amaze me. The Fisher-Price Smart Cycle is an amazing video gaming unit for younger children consisting of a "smart cycle" that hooks up to your television and uses unique software and games to teach your children more about the world around them as well as to give your child more exercise. The reason I absolutely love this toy is because it gets kids active instead of sitting them down in front of a gaming unit. The smart cycle system allows you child to customize their own bike as well as explore

    different "themes". Different games for the Smart Cycle incorporate popular characters such as Sponge Bob and Dora the explorer to teach concepts such as letters, numbers, colors and shapes. The cycle comes with Learning Journey software; however, character based games are sold seperately for about $20 each. The Smart Cycle is recommended for children aged 3-6yrs and measures 9" x 16.9" x 35" and weighs 19.9lbs.

    Because the Smart Cycle is made by Fisher Price you will be able to find it just about anywhere you go looking for it, Amazon and Walmart carry the Smart Cycle for $86.88, Target tacks on an extra $13.

          Leapfrog Leapster L-Max Learning Game System

          February 20th, 2008 by admin
          Leapfrog L-max
             
          The Leapfrog Leapster L-Max learning game system comes in both pink and gray/blue to suit both sexes and has been raved about by parents since it’s release. The purpose of the Leapster L-Max is to replace those brain rotting games that children are currently playing on their handheld video game systems with games that stimulate their brains and increase their intelligence by teaching them things that they would otherwise be learning in school but disguising them as "fun". With this handheld gaming system kids are learning letters, numbers, reasoning and a number of other life skills in the guise of a fun game with

          popular characters such as Dora and the crew from Madagascar. The Leapster L-Max is recommended for kids aged 4-10 and has multiple skill levels. The Leapster also plugs in to the TV so kids can play the games and watch the results of their actions as they play out on the TV screen. The Leapster has many functions and is also shaped perfectly for little hands so kids don’t get uncomfortable holding it for long car trips. The Leapster L-Max also requires 4 AA batteries which are not included. The Leapster does, however, include an interactive touch screen and pen.

          The games for the Leapster L-Max are sold seperately and come in a variety of skill levels as well as a variety of skill niches so parents can pick games based on their individual child’s needs. Games for the L-Max run at approximately $20-30 a piece and can be purchased from most larger toy stores.
