Leading Educational Brand Brings Loveable Disney Characters to Life On the LeapPad(R) Learning System
LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc., a leading designer, developer and marketer of innovative technology-based educational products, brings the magic of Disney to life this holiday season on the LeapPad ® Learning System. Now parents and grandparents shopping for stocking stuffers or last-minute gifts can give children the gift that keeps on giving. Whether it is Disney's The Lion King, Finding Nemo or Disney Princess, each engaging book introduces readers to a world of interactive adventures.
By combining Disney's classic characters with LeapFrog's leading educational products, parents who grew up with Winnie the Pooh can help their children learn with Pooh in an entirely new and interactive way.
"We brought Disney favorites to the LeapPad Library because we know that children learn with characters they know and love," said Jeff Cronk, director of marketing. "The LeapPad learning system brings Disney characters to life and adds a layer of learning that is both fun and engaging."
