Video: LeapFrog’s Zippity

Published by Chris under News, Videos

From inventorspot.com:

The creative folks at Disney and LeapFrog have joined forces and developed a brand new wireless interactive exercise and learning system just for kids called Zippity.

The system includes the console, a foldable interactive mat, eight fun preloaded activities, and a bopper, which is similar to a ginormous joystick. The educational learning activities include basic word recognition, problem solving, art and music skills.  The activities include the well-loved Disney characters Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh  and Tigger, Little Einsteins, Handy Manny, Disney Princess and Pixar’s Cars. Each game includes two different difficulty levels of play.

Although some adults may discourage running and jumping in the home, Zippity encourages children to jump around to their heart’s content.  Running, jumping, hoping and dancing on the mat and using the bopper actually controls the activities and characters you see on the screen. The wireless mat and the bopper interact with the Zippity console, which connects to your television set.

New LeapFrog games (Text and Learn and Zippity)

Published by Chris under News

Engadget has a few hands on with two new LeapFrog games for kids:

leapfrog-tl-007 LeapFrog has filled that void in a delightfully hefty, hard-to-swallow form factor, with the new Text and Learn. It’s meant for little chilluns too young to spot a crappy UI and bad ergonomics, so the primary function is pushing the letters and getting it spoken back to you.

zippity-small-1 LeapFrog’s just announced a new educational toy that’s designed to get your wee one moving in front of the television. The Zippity (not to be confused with the Grippity) is for pre-school-aged (three to five years old) kiddies, with an interactive mat that incorporates running, jumping and dancing, plus a huge joystick for leaning (and learning left, right, back and front).
