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:
- 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. The LeapPad was LeapFrog's flagship product from 1999 up until it was discontinued in late 2007 (early-mid 2008 outside the US), and replaced by the Tag reading system.
- LeapPad Explorer/LeapPad2 - The second line of LeapPad products are personalized learning tablets designed for children ages 4 to 9. The existing library of Leapster Explorer™ game cartridges and apps is cross-compatible with LeapPad. LeapPad Explorer was released on August 15, 2011. The LeapPad2 was announced in June 2012.
- Leapster - A portable learning system for children ages 4 to 9 with a large library of cartridge games and downloadable learning apps, including e-books, videos, games and flashcards. There have been multiple incarnations of the Leapster including the initial release, Leapster2, Leapster Explorer and the upcoming LeapsterGS, which was announced in June 2012.
- Tag Reading System- The Tag Reader has a small, infrared camera at the tip that “reads” letters, words and symbols printed on the special dot-patterned pages of products in the Tag library. The system is designed to help children ages 4 to 8 learn to read. Tag Jr. is also available for ages 1 to 4.
- My Own Story Time Pad- A pretend e-reader designed for children with real stories and songs parents can personalize with a child’s name and more. It offers more than 10 stories and songs and holds up to five stories, ten songs, and three emails at a time.
- Peek-a-Shoe Talking Octopus - Designed to help young children build motor skills, this ocean friend combines standard ball-drop play with counting, color and sea animal responses.
- Leapfrog Didj - A handheld educational gaming device was phased out in LeapFrog’s pursuit to meet high-tech expectations and to support the launch of the mobile learning platform Leapster Explorer.
- ‘Scout’s ABC Garden’ App for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad was released on April 7, 2011. The app encourages children to explore letter names and sounds step-by-step, and each child's experience is customized based on his or her name, favorite food, favorite color and favorite animal.
- My Pal Scout - A customizable plush toy that can be programmed with various songs and the owner's name and preferences. A Violet version is also available. Additionally, LeapFrog produced various other toys, including toy vehicles, interactive plushes and toys for the infant market.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“... white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
“We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.”
—George Wald (b. 1906)
