LeapFrog Epic 7" Android-based Kids Tablet 16GB

We are huge Leap Frog fans. The toys are innovative, awesome learning tools, and durable. The Leap Frog Epic takes the cake. My three year old and 14 month old have Leap Pads and it is wonderful. We upgraded our four year old to the Leap Fron Epic tablet and he LOVES it!!! He learned to navigate it very quickly and loves the apps that is included. There are MANY apps that can be bought for the Leap Frog. We connected it to our wifi and he can watch learning videos and Disney channel videos. I downloaded the "Getting Ready for Kindergarten" app which he loves. There are parental controls that you set so your child can't go nuts with buying apps or connecting to non approved websites. Leap Frog is so safe, you don't have to worry about third party ads and everything is age appropriate. My son is special needs (mild autism) and he really connects to this device and loves it. My other son (3) was diagnosed with more severe autism and he loves his Leap Pad. I say that to say the Leap Frog brand is a sure thing! The Leap Frog Epic is an adroid tablet with a nice big 7" screen. It has 16Gb memory, camera, a stylus which is connected to it, and over 20 apps. You can set up your child's profile plus 2 more profiles for sharing siblings. My only rant would be the speaker is in the back so if your child lays it down to play with it, the sound gets muffled. But if you set it up then the sound is crystal clear. Also Leap Frog cartridges are not compatible with the Leap Frog Epic; but there are tons of apps so it's ok. I highly reccommend this!! Neuro-typical kids and special needs kids alike will benefit from this! Mine have greatly. Oh yeah, also it has a green rubber bumper to protect it making it even more durable!

Judge me if you want, but I got this tablet for my youngest son for his 4th birthday. He LOVES it! I am very glad I got it for him. It is a real tablet with LeapFrog flair (LeapFrog apps & parental controls). We love that it came with the green rubber bumper case and 20 apps. The value of those alone makes this a great buy. The interactive home screen is a nice addition to this tablet; my son loves adding and removing stickers to his little town and checking the mailbox for the word of the day. I love that in addition to the apps my son can click on Leap Search to browse the websites that I have allowed such as PBS Kids. The leapfrog apps that come with the Epic are very fun, educational, and entertaining. You can add more apps from the LeapFrog App Center and you can download the Amazon Play Store to the Epic and download those apps as well. My son loves that I was able to download the Netflix app for him that way. In addition to the app games I have installed, my son loves to check the clock app and tell me what time it is, checking the weather app for our areas' real-time forecast, and listening to his music. He also enjoys taking videos and pictures of everything with his front and back cameras and recording himself singing and saying silly things with his voice recorder. It takes really good pictures and you can edit them just like you could on a cell phone. Speaking of cell phones, this Epic tablet has a built in rechargeable battery and takes the same charger as my cell phone. It says that this tablet is for ages 3-9 years old, but as the child gets older, you can give them more and more access to the internet. They could surf the web with no restrictions if you so allowed. Therefore, it can be used well beyond 9 years old. If you are in the market for a tablet for your young child, I highly recommend buying this LeapFrog Epic Tablet.
