LeapFrog, ever one of the most innovative of today’s tech-toy companies, announced today the release of a new, toddler-sized “book explorer.” Following the success of the Tag Reading System, designed for children ages 4 to 8 years old, the new Tag Junior was created especially for children ages 2 to 4 years old.
Toddlers can use the character-based handheld device to interact with specially-printed board books. The toddler simply touches the base of the Tag Junior anywhere on the page, and can then hear each page read aloud, hear sound effects embedded in the pictures, and listen to music.
Like the Tag Reading System, Tag Junior “reads” with a small infrared camera that recognizes what’s on each page, like letters, words, and symbols. Parents can download audio for each of the nine books in the Tag Junior library using the PC-and-Mac-compatible LeapFrog Connect Application. It’s as easy as managing your MP3s or photo files. Although there are nine available books, the Tag Junior only holds five at a time.
