Each book in the library is packed with over 30 activities. Games, jokes and songs come to life, inviting kids to trace numbers, hunt for letters, compose their own music and more.

The LeapStart Library

There are four books in each learning level and together they teach over 50 key skills including ABCs, 123s, and beyond. From life skills and daily routines, to space science and coding, the LeapStart library supports core skills integrated with life skills, such as problem solving and critical thinking to help children prepare for the future.

Jody Sherman LeVos: Director of Learning at LeapFrog says, “Today’s parents realise that learning is more than just ABCs and 123s – it is also about life skills. That's why LeapFrog's focus is on 21st Century learning, a framework that includes the foundational classroom skills kids have always and will always need, as well as life skills they'll need in the future, such as the ability to adapt to changing technology, collaboration skills, and perseverance.

Through fun-filled activities and engaging adventures that progress one step at a time, the LeapStart interactive activity book system brings learning to life to provide children with the tools they'll need to thrive in tomorrow's world, concludes LeVos.
