The "Pocono Santa" brought Alissa a Leapster 2!
She absolutely loves it! When she first opened it, I was afraid she was going to become addicted to it because she would not put it down. Although, she still loves it, she is thankfully not "addicted"! We have only tried out 2 games so far Pet Pals and one of the shape game downloads. I have been meaning to download a different game onto it for her, but just haven't done it yet. Plus my husband set it up for her the first time around and I am not exactly sure how he did that! It came with one FREE game download and Santa brought Pet Pals too. She is still learning how to use it (as am I) and some of the activities are a bit difficult for her still. The Leapster is meant for ages 4-8 so that makes sense. But I love that she enjoys the games, challenges herself with it, and spends time figuring out how to play it on her own. She actually amazes me with how she can use technology all by herself. I usually take it with us when we go shopping and it keeps her entertained (at least until she sees a toy on the shelf that she wants to look at instead). The cartridge games are a little expensive, but I have heard you can use them on the Leap Pad also when they get a little older.
