“The interactive experience in our new microscope is truly a wonderful example of innovation in learning toys,” said Andy Keimach, President, VTech Electronics North America, LeapFrog’s parent company. “We love taking traditional educational tools, like a microscope or map, and adapting them for preschoolers so they can get excited about school skills such as science and geography.”

With a large LCD screen and smart slides, the Magic Adventures Microscope lets kids explore flowers, insects, the human body and more through 220+ custom BBC videos and images. They can even create their own samples using reusable slides and examine objects around the house with this real microscope. Over-the-ear LeapPods Max learning headphones keep kids entertained with hours of audio activities that let them dance to party songs, listen to relaxing music, hear immersive stories, play active challenges and more. And just like adult headphones, LeapPods Max have Bluetooth® wireless technology so kids can connect to other devices and hear their favorite music, videos and games. For kids who want to discover the world’s countries, oceans, natural wonders, animals and more, the Touch & Learn World Map features interactive touch points with fun facts for little ones to explore and engaging games to test their knowledge.

Highlights of the LeapFrog learning line, available later this year, include:

Magic Adventures Microscope™: Examine the microscopic world around you with the Magic Adventures Microscope™. Make big discoveries using the 2.4″ LCD screen and eight double-sided smart slides.

Create your own samples using the two reusable slides or sample tray to see things at 50x-200x magnification. See something amazing? Capture slide images and share your discoveries using a microSD card (not included).
