Great BladesUSA KS 5918 Rapier 44 Inch Overall
My 6 year-old has about 15 games and apps for her LeapPad, and this one is a favorite of both of ours. The Fairy Tales eBook contains two stories, Leapfrog versions of The Three Little Pigs and Jack and the Beanstalk, and has the same basic format as the other Ultra eBooks we own... full-color, interactive, narrated story pages, interspersed with educational mini-games. Leapfrog's versions of the fairy tales are fairly far-removed from the originals, very inoffensive and mild. Though they definitely aren't my favorite retellings, they're not bad stories, and I think my 6 year-old - who knows the original Grimm versions inside and out - actually enjoys spotting and telling me about the differences between the "real" stories and the Leapfrog ones.
Anyway, the thing that sets this eBook above the others we own are the learning games... they are much more interesting and far more educational than the others we've tried, as well as being perfectly targeted for the true beginning reader. My favorite activity is one where your child is given an incomplete sentence and asked to drag and drop the missing word into the appropriate spot... it is perfect for learning Kindergart en sight words! Overall, this is one of the better LeapPad learning tools out there and very definitely recommended for Kindergart en-level readers.

ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I wanted something like in the vein of a sword from the Princess Bride and this sword was perfect! Really nice design, well made and at a great price. I saw similar swords at a convention going for twice the price which did not look half as good. Great buy!
ReplyDeleteI picked this up for my Renaissance Wedding and found the rapier to be nicely weighted and a perfect addition to my formal dress attire. Also, excellent for ren festivals and perhaps the theater. I bought from Blade USA to support American manufacturing only to scroll down after the purchase to see it was made in China. Overall nicely constructed - beware of the sharp point.
