I browsed all the best toy stores to find a great present for my little nephew who was them 3 years old. I wanted something that would be educational and at the same time fun. I came across this great leappad that seemed like a good learning toy. This was available in both pink and blue colors. I picked the blue one for my nephew. I went through the entire manual and it's features. I also used it a littel to get a hang fo it before I gifted it.

The touch pad has an in built pen to allow the motor skill and writing habit to be enhanced. The electronic story book reads stories and the pad comes with a catridge and a book. Additional books and cartridges can be bought later. My bephew had loads of fun with it and the funniest part was that his parents (my sister and her husband ) enyoyed it too!!! recommended for ages between 2 and 5 years. A great toy.
