Why It’s Fun
The Quantum Pad Learning System comes with an interactive
sampler book with images and sounds that are colorful and
vibrant. The voice that walks you through each section of
the book is pleasant and entertaining. For example, in a section
on the Solar System, the book opens to a full-page graphic
of our Solar System and delivers information about each planet
when the pen is touched to the planet. In another section,
kids are quizzed on state capitals in a fun game format.
Who’s Going To Love It
Although many products claim to make learning fun for kids,
not all of them actually deliver on that promise. Quantum
Pad Learning System is one of the few that definitely lives
up to that challenge by making the process interactive. Whereas
many learning toys specialize in rote memorization of facts,
the Quantum Pad helps develop a context for the information
kids are acquiring, which helps reinforce learning . This
is a great item for kids who want to get ahead in school as
well as those who need a little extra help with their studies.
What To Be Aware Of
The Quantum Pad Learning System comes with one interactive
sampler book—additional books are sold separately. This
system also works with all LeapPad books and cartridges. The
system requires 4 “AA” batteries, not included.
Though the Quantum Pad looks a lot cooler than LeapFrog’s
LeapPad, the books and cartridges for older children will
work with the original item.
While LeapFrog has invested heavily in curriculum development,
and the product is excellent in this regard, no learning toy
takes the place of a child’s assigned schoolwork, and
parents and caregivers are encouraged to be involved with
the kids as they experience any educational toy.
