It’s designed to be visually engaging & simple to navigate for a younger audience: for example, items in the game highlight so children know to click on them. Lastly, the game automatically adjusts the curriculum and gameplay, so children get just the right level of challenge. Hear from our Learning Expert “Alphabet knowledge and phonological awareness--the ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds or spoken language--are two key skills linked to future reading success. Disney’s Minnie’s Bow-tique Super Surprise Party includes games that prompt children blend sounds into words and match uppercase and lowercase letters to help build a strong foundation for early reading.” Carolyn J., LeapFrog Learning Expert. Teaches word sounds, letter recognition, memory skills, logic and reasoning and colors.

Innovative Learning Approach LeapFrog learning games, apps, eBooks and Ultra eBooks are designed, reviewed or approved by our team of Learning Experts and grounded in the latest research for the richest possible learning experience. Promoting learning through play taps into children’s natural curiosity and inspires them to explore. While reading, children may touch on individual words or a character; the corresponding text will light up, and children can hear them pronounced and sounded out. In addition, they can build vocabulary knowledge by touching on illustrations or tapping on a word to access an audio-visual definition in the interactive visual dictionary. What"s In The Box?
