Letter Factory Adventures: The Rainforest teaches and reinforces life science concepts for children ages 4-7 years old. Through action-packed gameplay, children develop their knowledge of life science, animals and ecosystems. Letter Factory Adventures: The Rainforest also helps little explorers build fundamental scientific inquiry and critical thinking skills as they learn about the exotic animals and plants that call the four layers of the rainforest their home. Children join Leap, Tad and Lily on a colorful journey through the rainforest, where they encounter diverse ecosystems and an array of amazing life forms. Using their styluses, children move Tad"s magnifying glass or Lily"s light for a closer look at the many unique plants and animals. There"s no shortage of fun in the abundant Amazon! Players climb up vines, bounce off mushrooms and trek through the canopy in pursuit of fascinating creatures to feature in Leap"s journal. Letter Factory Adventures: The Rainforest contains more than 200 fascinating facts! Young adventurers will meet the world"s loudest monkey, the largest freshwater turtle and a bird that mimics human speech. They"ll discover that coffee, chocolate and bananas all grow in the rainforest and explore plants used in important medicines and chewing gum! After completing in-game missions assigned by The Chief, kids may find themselves still in observation mode and thinking like a scientist in the real world!
