Every morning when my 28 month old daughter wakes up she says «I want to watch the green frogs». She has learned all her beginning phonics and she sings the «sounds» song from «The Letter Factory» DVD everywhere. We even sing it in the grocery store to keep her «engaged» in something constructive. She also has learned how to read simple words («The Talking Words Factor» and «Code Word Caper») and now she is very interested in learning to read. She asks me to spell different words all the time. She even knows how to spell her first name «Melody» and even her last name. The «Math Circus» DVD is fabulous too. I only wish that it focused on counting past ten, too. Now we count as we do errands in the car and we sing «The Numbers Song». These DVDs really have jump-started her interest in learning to read and to count.
I recommended these DVDs to my nephew who did not have as much interest in learning his numbers or letters and now he is on his way to reading, too.
These are fabulous.
Update: January 2008. My daughter is now three. She just had her third birthday and she requested a «green frog» birthday. She enjoys watching the Leapfrog DVDs so much. She is continuing to learn both math and reading. She now sounds out almost every word she sees, including words on cereal boxes and road signs, not to mention words in her books. She tells her 16 month old brother to «sound it out» when they are playing and they are looking at books or anything with words. Amazingly, my son only knows how to speak a little over a handful of words, but at 16 months, he knows over 50% of his phonics as I quiz him on the alphabet. So,I continue to highly recommend this set of learning DVDs.

I bought this after reading several positive reviews here, and off of the recommendation of a friend. My kids are enjoying them, and are really grasping the information quickly. They especially like the Math Circus, Letter Factory, and Storybook Factory(no longer available?); though they watch all 5. The tunes are pretty catchy, and the information is clear. I only gave it 4 stars because I do not subscribe to the «rules» taught for reading the «harder» words. These are such as: the first vowel says it’s name, silent E, consonant blends. The English language has very few words that actually follow those «rules»; so I am countering the Leap Frog information with the knowlege that those vowel combinations can stand for many sounds in different words, that the E works together with the middle vowel to stand for a sound, and that the majority of words should not be memorized, but sounded out. It’s working okay. If you DO subscribe to the «rules» they present, you will LOVE this series. Overall it is another good quality Leap Frog production, well thought out and attractively done to keep the attention of children. I would buy it again even though not agreeing with them 100%.

The Letter Factory video was particulary good. This was the tool that I needed to get my 3 year old son interested in learning the alphabet. Before this video he was only interested in the letters in his first name. Now, in less than one month he knows all of the letters A-Z and the sounds that they make. He can tell me the letters in signs that he sees on stores, etc. Before the video we had tried reading, alphabet blocks, puzzles, songs, and many other techniques to no avail. He is very verbal, so I knew he had the capability…this video created the interest and now I am thrilled!
The Math Circus is ok. It does seem a bit short, but it is a good review for my 5 year old.
The Word Factory and Story Factory are also great. They are more of an introductory level, and it is hard for me to judge them since my daughter reads at almost a second grade level, so they are just a fun review for her, but great exposure for my 3 year old.

I got this in the mail after a reco from another mom about the Letter Factory and ordered the entire 5 dvd set. Our 23 month old son loves, loves, loves it. He asks for «letters» to be played about once a day and we’ve also tried out the words and storybook dvd and all of them are engaging and have fun songs and pictures that seem to work for him. He’s able to more easily pronounce different letters and I’ve complemented the video set with a place mat with the alphabet and doodlepro type writing toy to help him further work on identifying letters and he «sings» the sounds like the video which is cute.
I’ve heard great things about the other two videos that we haven’t started yet as they are for older age group such as the math circus — but who knows maybe he’ll learn to do math at age 3 with this set at this rate. Seriously though, we’ve looked at and tried the other ones like elmo and seasame street and brands like baby einstein and this series is the one that really has helped with language and pronounciation in a way that the others have not. The Baby einstein are great for younger age groups but this is perfect for toddlers and up for learning.

As an elementary school educator and a mother of two under the age of three, I am a huge advocate of anything that helps children with learning. My son received a magnetic letter learner made by LeapFrog that he just LOVES and is truly enabling him to learn all of his letters and sounds. I especially liked the fact that all of the vowels had both the short and long vowel sounds. When a friend told me about these videos, I did not hesitate to order them.
I was quite disappointed when the only vowel sounds given on the Talking Letter Factory and Talking Words Factory DVDs were the short vowels. LeapFrog loses one star from me for that.
I still give this DVD set 4 stars for its high ability to keep a 27 month old’s attention while helping him to learn at the same time. It even teaches children about capital letters versus lower case letters. Way to go Leapfrog! Just hoping that Leapfrog makes another addition to this adding the neglected long vowel sounds, making it the perfect letter learning DVD.

If they made DVD’s appropriate for older kids, I’d have bought them! My son was totally captivated by these DVD’s and learned so much so fast! We actually had to buy a replacement for the first set (he liked swapping them out himself) which we did happily! Very well done videos… they will kind of stick in your head but not in an obnoxious way. Can’t recommend highly enough. If I had to come up with a shower gift or something, I would not hesitate to buy another set! I would rate these far above the «L.E.» series!

I’ve never been a big Leapfrog fan but when these were recommended to me by a co-worker I thought I’d give it a chance.
After watching The Letter Factory with my 3 year old daughter three times she knew the sounds of all the alphabet letters; amazing!
Educational and fun, what more could a parent ask for?
Because my daughter so enjoyed The Letter Factory she was excited to watch the other DVDs; learning made easy!
I’m also going to be ordering them for my home day-care provider since it will make a great gift.

History
Founding: 1990–1997
The history of LeapFrog traces back to the late 1980s when LeapFrog co-founder Michael Wood, an attorney at Cooley LLP,[2] had difficulties teaching his son how to read.[3] He began researching phonics and marketing while continuing as a partner at Cooley.[3] By 1994, Wood had developed the first prototype of what would become Phonics Desk, LeapFrog’s first product.[4] The prototype utilized a Texas Instruments chip that was previously used by one of Wood’s clients to develop talking greeting cards.[4] Wood solicited feedback on his prototype from Robert Calfee, an expert on children’s reading development and a professor of education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education.[4]
Wood began manufacturing the Phonics Desk in 1995.[5] That year, Wood resigned as a partner at Cooley LLP and founded LeapFrog Enterprises with Robert Lally.[2] The company received $800,000 in seed funding from friends, family, and former clients of Wood.[2][3] Toys «R» Us became the first major retailer to carry the Phonics Desk shortly before Christmas 1995.[6] Other retailers such as FAO Schwarz, Walmart and Target later began carrying the toy.[6]
Expansion and acquisition by Knowledge Universe: 1998–2002
LeapFrog had distribution in over 10 countries and a number of major clients in the US by early 1997.[2] In March of that year, the company hired Brad Crawford, who formerly worked for Little Tikes, to oversee sales and manufacturing.[7] Knowledge Universe acquired a majority stake in LeapFrog in October 1997.[8] Knowledge Universe is an education company founded by brothers Lowell Milken and Michael Milken, Larry Ellison, and Tom Kalinske.[6] LeapFrog subsequently merged with Knowledge Universe’s Knowledge Kids division.[8] Kalinske, a former executive at Mattel, became LeapFrog chief executive officer as a result of the merger.[9]
LeapFrog acquired Explore Technologies in August 1998.[10] Explore Technologies produced the Odyssey Globe, an interactive globe that could call out the names of countries when users touched the globe with a specially designed stylus.[8] Explore Technologies’ stylus technology was later used in LeapFrog’s LeapPad, a learning tablet that sounds out words when users drag a stylus across a word in LeapPad books.[11] The LeapPad launched in 1999 and became Leapfrog’s flagship product.[11] It was the top-selling toy in the US for the years 2001-2002 and books and accessories for the device were the best selling toy in the US in 2003.[11] LeapFrog opened its LeapFrog Schoolhouse division, which markets LeapFrog products directly to schools, in 1999.[2][11]
Going public and acquisition by VTech: 2003–present
LeapFrog co-founder Michael Wood became the company’s chief executive officer in early 2002.[9] In July, LeapFrog went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LF.[12] Knowledge Universe retained majority control of the company following the initial public offering.[12] Sega Toys and Benesse also began producing LeapFrog toys localized for the Japanese market in 2002.[13] LeapFrog products were sold in more than 25 countries by 2003.[2] Tom Kalinske was appointed LeapFrog chief executive officer following Michael Wood’s retirement in February 2004.[9] Kalinske had previously served as LeapFrog’s chief executive officer from the company’s acquisition by Knowledge Universe in 1997 until early 2002.[9] Wood was retained as the company’s chief creative officer.[2] Jeffrey G. Katz replaced Kalinske as LeapFrog chief executive officer in 2006.[2] Katz was previously the founding chairman and chief executive officer of Orbitz and had served on the LeapFrog board for a year prior to becoming the chief executive officer of LeapFrog.[14] Kalinske remained vice chairman of LeapFrog.[14]
LeapFrog discontinued the LeapPad and released its Tag Reading System in June 2008.[15] Tag became LeapFrog’s flagship product and was a successor to the 10-year-old LeapPad.[16] The company released its Leapster2 portable learning system and its Didj educational handheld game console in August 2008.[16]
William «Bill» Chiasson replaced Jeffrey Katz as LeapFrog president and chief executive officer in March 2010.[17] Chiasson had most recently served as LeapFrog chief financial officer.[17] Katz was appointed to the newly created position of executive chairman of the board.[17] LeapFrog also released the Leapster Explorer educational handheld game console in 2010.[18] The Leapster Explorer was the successor to the Leapster2 and was targeted toward older children.[18] The console supports online gameplay as well as learning apps, e-books, and videos.[18] John Barbour was named the chief executive officer of LeapFrog in March 2011.[19] Barbour previously served as an executive for Toys «R» Us and RealNetworks.[19]
LeapFrog released the LeapPad Explorer educational tablet computer in 2011.[20] The LeapPad Explorer was designed for children aged four to nine and contained a five-inch touchscreen, camera, microphone, and both downloadable apps and cartridge-based games.[21] In 2012, LeapFrog released its updated LeapPad2 and LeapsterGS.[22][23] The LeapPad Ultra tablet computer and LeapReader were launched in 2013.[24] The LeapReader is an electronic reading and writing system that succeeded the Tag Reading System which only taught reading skills.[24]
The company released LeapBand, its first wearable activity tracker for children, in 2014.[25] LeapFrog also released its LeapPad3 and LeapPad Ultra XDi tablet devices in 2014.[26] In July 2014, the company announced the release of LeapTV.[27] They also got net loss for $124 million and had net sales of $145 million.[28] In August 2015, the company announced LeapFrog Epic,[29] its new Android-based tablet for children, which was released in September 2015.[30]
On April 4, 2016, VTech completed its $72 million acquisition of LeapFrog.[31][32]
Products
LeapFrog’s product portfolio focuses on three main families of products: reading solutions, educational gaming, and grade school products and learning toys. Notable products include:
- LeapFrog Epic[28] — An Android-based tablet for children ages 3–9. The tablet runs on the Android KitKat operating system, with a quad-core MediaTek MT8127 processor, 7″ multi-touch capacitive screen, front and back camera, video recorder, 16GB of memory and a battery that lasts for 6 hours. The product was released in September 2015 and its MSRP is US$139.99. An updated variant of the Epic called Academy Edition was released in 2017, with a redesigned silicone protective bumper and access to the LeapFrog Academy program.[33][34] Another updated variant called the LeapPad Academy was released in 2019, which, like the Epic Academy Edition before it, came with access to the LeapFrog Academy program and a silicone bumper with a built-in kickstand.
- LeapTV — A TV connected video game console that uses motion control. The console has a TV connected camera that tracks motion control of both the controller and the player’s body. Like any other current video game console, it has games available in cartridge or download form. The console’s release was announced in July 2014 and ended up launching just four months later in September. LeapTV is aimed at ages 3–8.[35][36]
- LeapBand — A wearable activity tracker for children aged 4–7.[37] LeapBand is a wristband that gives commands like «wiggle like a worm» or «pop like popcorn.»[25] Children earn joules energy gems by completing challenges, playing the built-in games, moving around in Move Mode, and using the stopwatch.[25] Once they earn enough Joules, they will get rewards, such as new toys & favorite foods for their pet, getting a new pet, and leveling up their pets.[37]
- LeapReader — A specially designed stylus that reads audio books aloud and teaches basic writing skills.[24] The device is similar to LeapFrog’s Tag Reading System, although the Tag system did not teach writing skills as does LeapReader.[38] LeapReader was released in July 2013.[24]
- LeapStart — A newer family of products including the LeapStart announced in 2016,[39] the LeapStart 3D released in 2018,[40] and the LeapStart Go released in 2019.[41] These also include a stylus for reading content on specially patterned books but this system is not compatible with the earlier Tag and LeapReader books.
- LeapPad Explorer/LeapPad2/Ultra/LeapPad3/Ultra XDi Tablets — The second line of LeapPad products are personalized learning tablets designed for children ages 4–9.[42] When children set up the LeapPad, they enter their grade level and LeapPad automatically adjusts its games and applications to that grade level.[42] The existing library of Leapster Explorer game cartridges and apps is cross-compatible with LeapPad.[22] LeapPad Explorer was released in August 2011.[43] The LeapPad2 was released in August 2012.[22] The LeapPad3 and LeapPad Ultra XDi were released in 2014.[26]
- Leapster/Leapster2/Leapster Explorer/LeapsterGS Explorer — Portable learning systems for children ages 4–10 with a large library of cartridge games and downloadable learning apps, including e-books, videos, games, and flashcards. The original Leapster was released in 2003.[44] The company subsequently released the Leapster2 in 2008 and Leapster Explorer in 2010. The LeapsterGS Explorer was released in 2012.[23]
- Tag Reading System — A specially designed stylus that has a small infrared camera at the tip that «reads» letters, words and symbols printed on the special dot-patterned pages of books in the Tag library.[15] The system is designed to help children ages 4–8 learn to read.[15] The company released Tag Junior, a system designed for children ages 1–4, in 2009.[45]
- My Pal Scout — A customizable plush toy that can be programmed with various songs and the owner’s name and preferences.[46] Additionally, LeapFrog produced various other toys, including toy vehicles, interactive plushes, and toys for the infant market. LeapFrog later released Read with Me Scout, a plush toy that can read aloud books from its product line.[47][48]
- The original LeapPad – A series of now-discontinued educational devices. The products in this family varied in design, but all accepted an insertion cartridge to be used with a book that was placed in the device. The cartridge was activated when a child used a specially designed stylus to touch pictures, words, and shapes in the book.[49] The device would then sound out-touched word, name the shape, or relay information about the picture.[50] The LeapPad was LeapFrog’s flagship product from 1999 until it was discontinued in late 2007 (early-mid 2008 outside the US).[15] It was replaced as LeapFrog’s flagship product by the Tag reading system.[15]
- Tad’s Subtraction Sheet — A discontinued subtraction sheet released in 2013. Used with dry-erase markers.
Smartphone applications
Leapfrog also develops educational applications for smartphones. These apps include:
- ‘Scout’s ABC Garden’ App — An iOS application that was released in April 2011.[51] The app encourages children to explore letter names and sounds step-by-step, and each child’s experience can be customized based on his or her name, favorite food, favorite color and favorite animal.[51]
- Creativity Camera — An iOS application that allows children to take and edit pictures.[52] The application also contains an augmented reality game where users can take pictures of imaginary fairies.[52] Creativity Camera comes with a child-friendly phone case that is shaped like a camera.[53] The app and phone case were launched in 2013.[53]
- Mr. Pencil: Learn to Write — An iOS application that works with a stylus accessory to teach users basic writing skills. It requires iOS 5.0 or later.[54][55] The app was released in 2013.[55]

- Kiddieland Limited produces ride-on toys, tricycles, and scooters

LeapFrog also has partnerships with various companies:
- Sega Toys and Benesse produce localized versions of the toys for the Japanese market.[13]

About This Game
Word Factori is a word-building game where your only resource is the letter «i». Build a chain of factories to bend, rotate, reflect, and merge «i» into more complex letters. Discover secret letter recipes, unlock hidden word art, and optimize your factory chains for high scores.
CHAIN FACTORIES
Connect factories to bend, merge, rotate, and reflect the letter «i». Bend «i» into a «C». Reflect the «C», and merge it with another «C» to make an «O». Use your intuition to build the full alphabet.
COMPLETE YOUR RECIPE BOOK
Many letters have multiple recipes. Experiment with different factory chains to build letters (and more?) in new ways. Discover all of them to fill your recipe book!
COLLECT STICKERS
Building certain words will unlock stickers to fill your scrapbook. Play the word of the day and try typing your own words to discover letter art, built entirely from the game’s font.
OPTIMIZE
Optimize your factory chains for high scores, competing on 3 metrics. Or, ignore optimization and focus on the visual aesthetic of your builds.
FEATURES
- Build entire words with nothing but the letter «i» and a chain of factories
- Conquer unique challenge levels that restrict your resources
- Play player-shared words, build the word of the day, or type your own words
- Fill your recipe journal by discovering new ways to make each letter
- Collect stickers in your scrapbook by building special words
