For kids: the LeapPad Ultra

Posted on 20 November 2013

An educational tablet for kids with built in wi-fi and parental control; a very cool and handy gadget for kids aged 4 – 9 that will keep them occupied in the car or on a plane – and a lekker Christmas gift.

The new LeapPad Ultra has a kid-safe web browser and works with LeapFrog’s unique library of high-quality, relevant, educational and fun content approved by learning experts – basically computer games for tablets except they won’t have to steal your iPad to play. 

LeapPad Ultra offers extra parental settings to easily control exactly what experiences a child can access with a learning library of hundreds of educator-approved games, apps and more.

This kiddie tablet also offers kid-safe peer-to-peer play across devices, when two or more LeapPad Ultra tablets connect locally. In the new Pet Pad Party app for example, children can communicate and play with their friends and siblings in a kid-safe environment with their own personalised pet avatars.

Costs R1999 from most toy stores
