Popular Children's Characters Liven Curriculum
*Join Anna, Elsa, and Olaf in a Frozen mathematics foray. Arendelle's Winter Festival puts mathematics skills in motion for children ages four to seven years with 'Frozen'. Playing solo or with a friend, the curriculum grows with each child at her level. Children join Queen Elsa, Anna and Olaf in a magical festival with five fun-filled games such as making ice sculptures, using shapes, and creating snowflake jewelry using counting, addition, subtraction and number comparison. Toss snowballs at sun-loving Olaf in the dunking booth using place value knowledge. Twist, turn and spin in the correct number sequence to form an ice skating path for Elsa and Anna.

*Team up with Blaze and AJ to save the Monster Dome. Blaze and the Monster Machines put science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills in motion for children ages three to five years. Children use number recognition, physical science, problem solving and simple machines knowledge to help Blaze and his friends build a super-duper stunt track and leave the competition in the dust. The controller becomes a virtual steering wheel to put technology and engineering in motion to outmaneuver obstacles. Children get up and moving to become part of the experience with monster truck-size adventures and a chance to race against a friend. For more information, visit: http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/app-center/p/leaptv-blaze-and-the-monster-machines/_/A-prod39202.
*Build a customized world with DoodleCraft. Children craft, explore and customize a world with the Mr. Pencil Presents DoodleCraft game. Designed for ages four to seven to develop creativity and life skills, children get up and get creative to design the ultimate island destination as they build and paint buildings using sorting, memory, observation and matching skills to complete quests and unlock new areas to explore. Earn blueprints to construct exciting buildings, and customize each one to bring the island to life. Unlock new art tools along the way to add paint, patterns, doors, windows, glitter, stickers and more—for never-ending creative fun. The DoodleCraft game is designed so that two players can collaborate and create an island to share, or make their own separate islands and drop in for a visit. For more information, visit: http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/app-center/p/leaptv-mr-pencil-presents-doodlecraft/_/A-prod39206.
*Jump inside the Letter Factory Adventures game. Bringing the popular Letter Factory to life, children ages three to five join LeapFrog's Tad and Lily for a train ride from A to Z and ride more than 50 roller coaster-like rides. Children play mini-games at every stop to learn the name, shape and sound of every letter, build words, customize an alphabet book and more. In one mini-game, children use their bodies to bend and twist into the shape of a letter. The LeapTV system will snap a photo that children can put in their very own Alphabet Book. In another mini-game, children can bop around the screen to pop bubbles, find letters, complete words or race the clock in frenzy mode. Multiplayer mode lets children team up with a friend—the learning adapts to each child's level for just the right challenge. For more information, visit: http://www.leapfrog.com/en-us/app-center/p/leaptv-letter-factory-adventures/_/A-prod39201.
The LeapTV system enhances the way children learn by combining activity and movement with a best-in-class educational curriculum. Children learn through motion as they jump, dance and move to develop core skills across reading, mathematics, science and problem solving. Select games adapt to each child's level—starting with age, and then automatically adjust the learning for just the right challenge. The collaborative multi-player feature allows players of different ages to play together with curriculum that adjusts independently for each player.
Availability
Disney's Frozen, Nickelodeon's Blaze and the Monster Machines, Mr. Pencil Presents DoodleCraft and LeapFrog's Letter Factory (MSRP $29.99 per game) will be available online and at major retail locations in early August 2015.
