In this technological day and age, it’s hard to find a child who isn’t intrigued by anything “electronic”, whether that means computers or video games. If you’re wary about letting your child use these devices, however, toys like the LeapFrog My Own Leaptop will help to keep your kids occupied in a completely safe environment.  They can “surf the net” just like Mommy and Daddy.

The LeapFrog My Own Leaptop lets your child have all the fun of a basic computer, but without the risks of running into something, or someone, they shouldn’t.

Should You Buy The LeapFrog My Own Leaptop For Your Child?

Children  love the idea of having their own personalized laptop.  The Leapfrog My Own Leaptop design is durable and colorful (it comes in either green or purple ( my favorite),  but it still looks believable as a fake laptop. It even has the addition of a number of feature specific buttons including blog, email and music. Just like a real laptop, it can be folded up,  and  it’s  easy for kids to carry around as it comes with a built in travel handle.

And there’s plenty of features to keep them entertained as they explore new options.  Many parents have reported that the Leapfrog My Own Leaptop has kept their children happy and focused for hours at a time. But  the best thing  about the Leapfrog My Own Leaptop is the fact that as your child is entertained he is also learning  at the same time. This toy  teaches them about letters, animals, music, phonics, and the basics of using a computer. Although it’s recommended for kids aged two and above, it’ll take your child up to around the age of four (and a little older) thanks to the various levels.

The only real con about this educational toy that I can find is the fact that you will need an internet connection and computer if you want to download extras or connect to the parents’ area. But maybe this really isn’t a con as most of us  are already  connected to the internet, sometimes 24/7.

In a nutshell, the LeapFrog My Own Leaptop would be  an excellent choice for your child. Besides  being fun for your child it is also educational. This is a twofer and a no brainer in buying this toy. Plus it’s nothing near the price of a normal laptop. This is an affordable fun and education toy that your kids will get a lot of use out of while learning new things.
