The Recipe Behind the Learning of LeapFrog Letter Factory Adventures: Counting on Lemonade

With an updated look, the second of four animated releases in the new Letter Factory Adventures franchise brings back beloved frogs Tad, Lily and Leap plus their fun new friends to entertain with music, laughter and adventures as they help preschoolers improve early math skills including counting to 20, as well as addition, subtraction and problem solving. The LeapFrog Letter Factory Adventures: Counting on Lemonade animated video also features three all-new original learning songs plus bonus sing-a-long videos and curriculum commentary for parents.

"Not only do children learn best when they are having fun but also with characters and environments they can relate to such as a lemonade stand, a familiar and relevant setting for teaching foundational concepts of mathematics," said Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos, director of LeapFrog's Learning Team. "Children can learn these important skills in a fun and creative way from watching their frog friends experiment with the right number of scoops of sugar and glasses of water that make the best tasting lemonade."

More Frogs, More Learning Fun

In addition to the four learning programs, LeapFrog's new frogs will star in future products including the new LeapFrog Learning Library game, Letter Factory Rainforest Adventures, and games in the Learning Library of the highly-anticipated LeapTV educational active video game system.
