Leapfrog: Math Adventures To The Moon

As my kindergartener is learning math this show has been a go to

This is a good one. At first I wasn't impressed - I only heard them counting to ten in the video. But, a little deeper in, they introduced skip-counting; first by twos (up to twenty), then by fives (up to fifty) and then by tens (up to one hundred). That was pretty cool. The other thing I appreciated was that they showed a few different ways to add two numbers to get to ten. Tad and Lily did this by adding same-colored space rocks (the rocks look suspiciously like brightly colored jello cubes!) to get enough rocket fuel to return to Earth. Pretty good concept. Patterns were also introduced (I think it was "star, space rock, star", "star, space rock, star"). The pattern was used while Tad & Lily and Edison (a lightning bug) are journeying into outer space and flying by these objects. What I liked about this is that, on their return trip they get lost, and find their way back when they see the pattern and follow it back to Earth. Nice that they also snuck this piece in - pay attention when you are traveling somewhere, and it will help you to find your way home.This movie keeps the kids engaged, and they can easily watch it twice in a row, happily. It's definitely been on our frequently viewed list.One thing to note if you are a Leapfrog fan and have other Leapfrog products that your kids love - Tad and Lily look the same age/same height in this video. Some of the earlier Leapfrog videos (Talking Words Factory, Letter Factory, Code Word Caper - all GREAT by the way) have Tad being the young one, with two older, taller siblings (Lily and Leap). The change didn't bother us, but it might be frustrating for some viewer who have had a stronger attachment to Lily in other Leapfrog videos. You might need to say that this is Tad's twin sister, Lily, who was off visiting Grandma & Grandpa during the other videos, and, yes, isn't it funny that both of Tad's sisters have the same name?!All in all, we rate this one an A+!

I like this LeapFrog Video

My 2 year old loves these Leap Frog videos and is learning to count beyond 10! It’s not long, I just keep replaying it and he loves it. I sort the 7 or 8 dvds we have and let him pick which he would like to watch and it seems to be working.

This company has not disappointed me yet. There are so many new videos... "your baby can read" etc. that try and teach "party tricks" but this really teaches kids to learn and keeps them interested. Aside from parents who are convinced their 3 year olds should be enrolling in medical school. This is fantastic. We all think our children are very smart and I am no different. You won't be dissapointed. I would get them early. My 5 year old loves them and my 2 year old is captivated. Wish I had found these earlier for my 5 year old. Get them early for your children, like I said my 2 year old really likes them, if she is learning anything is yet to be seen but she enjoys the songs and dances. I have the whole series, from the letter factory to the storybook video...they are cheap $9.99 each. Hope this helps. Don't waste your money on the other junk. They need a "sight word" series though.

Another great vid for young people! Another big hit in the house! The video has definitely helped me teach 3 children at the same time. Lol, so this vid has been a great teacher's aid to me! Instead of watching cartoons/movies, I pop educational material in the box. And, the kids settle right down ready to watch lol!

This film has really helped my first grader understand counting by 1's, 2's, 5's and 10's. The catchy pleasant tune helps him remember as he is working on his papers in school and at home. It shows how to make groups of 10 i.e. 2 + 8 = 10, 4 + 6 = 10 and so on which my first grader was struggling with. It also covers sorting by color, shape and size. My kindergartener is ahead of his class and his 1st grade brother from watching this film. Math is about patterns and catching the number patterns is critical to success in math. Both my boys have a diagnosis of Autism so visuals are an essential part of their education. In addition to this film, we also use printed number charts, "counters" available from scholastic and an abacus.

We do enjoy the Leap Frog movie series. However, I feel that the shows are too addictive for my child. The next day after viewing one he will throw a tantrum if I suggest doing something else besides watching the Leap Frog movies. I find this extremely frustrating. Also, he has watched the series repeatedly and they don't seem to really be helping him to learn his letters, numbers, shapes, etc. So I've decided to cut him off and just go back to a more hands on approach for learning. Also, the sound of the characters voices is a little abrasive to me. They are overly squeaky and it is grating.

Great price and it showed up quick love these dvds to help with homeschooling.

Good

Great! My daughter loves this :) Delivered quickly & good quality.

This is my children favorite leap frog movie.

I have just observed how the kids will react to it. Kids just learned a lot of new things and it was great fun too. Highly recommend all their CDs.
