"Children learn best when they are having fun, and they love
being able to play with their favorite characters while working
together with friends or siblings to meet a common goal," said Dr.
Jody Sherman LeVos, director of
LeapFrog's Learning Team. "Whether embarking on a new ice skating
adventure with Elsa and Anna in Frozen, racing to the finish with
Blaze and the Monster Machines, building and creating worlds with
Mr. Pencil's Doodlecraft or bringing the famous LeapFrog Letter
Factory to life, many of our LeapTV learning games adjust to each
child so the curriculum is at just the right level—allowing
children to progress at their own pace."
With the addition of these four new titles, there are now more

fun and interactive TV gaming experience that will get their
children's minds and bodies moving, and at a great value early in
the shopping season. With so many games to choose from
featuring Paw Patrol, Disney Princess, some of LeapFrog's most
loved characters and now the all new Disney Frozen and Blaze and
the Monster Machines, the LeapTV system is perfect for children of
all ages and learning levels."
Popular Children's Characters Liven Curriculum

Children join Queen Elsa, Anna and
Olaf in a magical festival with five fun-filled games such as

- 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:

- 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

- 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.
