Chicago – LeapFrog® Enterprises, Inc., a leader in innovative educational toys for children, today announced the availability of new additions to its growing collection of learning toys. With a focus on curriculum-based content and important foundational skills, LeapFrog specializes in getting kids excited about learning with new products, including the Magic Adventures Microscope™ and LeapPods Max™.
“Innovation in learning toys has been a hallmark of the LeapFrog brand, and our new Magic Adventures Microscope represents that with an immersive experience,” said Andy Keimach, President, VTech Electronics North America, LeapFrog’s parent company. “We love taking traditional educational tools and adapting them for kids to make learning fun.”
With a large LCD screen and smart slides, the Magic Adventures Microscope lets kids explore flowers, insects, the human body and more through amazing BBC videos and images.
