From the Manufacturer
When Tad and his family go to the fair, rides and amusements such as the Ferris wheel, bumper cars and fishing for prizes encourage children to use the My First LeapPad pen to trace lines, circles, curves and other important strokes. This helps your child build the fine motor skills necessary to write letters in kindergarten. Preschoolers just place the flip book on the My First LeapPad System, pop in the cartridge, and touch any page with the Magic Pen to bring learning to life. What it Teaches: * Tracing letters * Shape Tracing * Letter names * Counting * Sounds

Customer Reviews

Perfect for teaching our daughter writing...
We own over a dozen books for My First LeapPad. This particular book is my daughter's second favorite. In fact, we own two versions of it, one in English and the other in French.

My wife and I purchased this book because our daughter needed help with her fine motor skills, especially when it came to writing letters and numbers. She wasn't lagging or anything, but she made the mistakes all three-year-olds make when trying to write.

Through fun activities, this book taught her to write in strait lines as well as proper curved lines. She learned to correctly print both capital and small letters. She also learned to correctly write her numbers. We were pleasantly surprised by how much this book improved our daughter's fine motor skills and control over a pen.

Additionally, since her French lagged her English, the French version of this book taught her the alphabet in French and well as all her numbers in this language. Had she not already known these things in English, I imagine it would have taught her these as well.

This book is definitely one of My First LeapPad's best.

Great book for the slightly older My First Leappad kids
My four year old son really enjoys this one (we have about a dozen My First Leappad books so far). A couple of the games really intrigued him; the "theme" is a carnival/fair, and he likes tracing the lines from the ball to the milk cans, for example. He's not as enthralled with the alphabet tracing part but I think he'll grow into that. This is definitely one of the most-requested books (he and his younger sister also really like Leap to the Moon and Disney Princesses).

My Daughter Loves It!
I ordered this for my 3 1/2 year old daughter. She has been trying to write her name before, but some letters give her trouble. I gave her this "book" and she loves it! We own about 10 First Leap Pad books and she plays with this one more than any (she even put down the Disney Princess one to play with this). She likes practicing tracing the dotted lines on the letters. She doesn't do most of the other games, but she enjoys tracing the letters. The music makes it more exciting than the preschool handwriting books I had purchased for her. She won't spend two minutes with those. It does seem that her "free" handwriting is getting better. She just received the L-Max for Christmas (we haven't opened it yet)and the Letters on the Loose game which I read was good for writing. I'm sure that with both of these, she will have writing down pat very soon.
