We loved it so much that I ended up purchasing a second so they kids would stop fighting over it. When Kmart offered to let us review the LeapPad2 we were eager to see what Leap Frog did to update and improve the original model. Right out of the box I noticed they updated the … [Read more...]

The camera flips/rotates to the front or back making it fun for self portraits, taking pictures … [Read more...]
