LeapFrog's Leapster gets a high-tech upgrade this year with the new Leapster Explorer. Leapster Explorer ($69.99) is more than a traditional handheld gaming platform —it's also a portable hub for dozens of downloadable Leaplet Learning Apps, including e-books, videos, game apps, and flash cards that cover areas from reading and math to science, health, and social responsibility. There is also a Pet Pad App that lets kids create and customize a pet and earn tokens to feed, bathe, and entertain the pet. Each experience offers multiple levels of play, and games auto-adjust so a child can learn at just the right pace. Leapster Explorer remembers a child's progress from game to game, to keep the content challenging and engaging. http://www.timetoplaymag.com/toys/2103/leapfrog/leapster-explorer/
