For children who possess the fantastic and educational Leapster Explorer, they (and parents) know how great it actually is! With a whole lot of fun, and at the same time being able to learn valuable skills, it is a game system that I always recommend to my friends! There are so many games to choose from, and here are some of my (well, my son’s) favourites….
Disney Pixar Toy Story 3 - Woody, Buzz and friends are more than well known by all kids – what child doesn’t love them?

Rise to the challenge and sharpen your mathematics skills while Private hones his elite commando skills. From HQ choose a mission, play games and solve puzzles to overcome obstacles and outsmart Zookeeper Alice. Once you’ve restored order in the zoo, learn about endangered animals in Animal Fact Finder and unlock new animal fact cards for more learning fun. This game teaches:

Battle your way through four action-packed levels with the help of R2-D2 and R4-P17.
