Hi All,

Need an educational toy for my daughters 2nd birthday. Someone has suggested these leappad toys .. but what a maze of confustion im finding!!
I want to get her the one up to 3 years as anything higher will be above her head.

Do i get the one with or without the pen?

IE Touchpad or with the pen...

hiya, I have a 2year old who loves her older sisters leappad with the pen, so i can recommend them even for that age. they are obviously only suitable if they have supervision as the pages can get torn but she loves the sounds & the music from it even if she doesnt understand everything else on it yet.
I havent tried the power touch ones so can't help you out on that decision, sorry.
hugs
Helen

Our DD got the one with the pen for her 2nd birthday and loved it, DS got the touchpad one for his 1st birthday and they both like playing with it but at 2 I think I would go for the one with the pen for her to grow into

Or get her some real books.
Cheaper, better range of choice, better learning. :j

Have been looking for one for my son and this is the cheapest I have seen the 3yrs+ one.
