The Safari Learning Station™ features an engaging activity panel that can be positioned in different interactive modes depending on whether a child is sitting, crawling or standing. Additional new LeapFrog innovations include the Learning Friends 100 Words Book™, which lets toddlers explore new vocabulary words and fun facts in English and Spanish, and the Go-with-Me ABC Backpack™, a one-of-a-kind toy that is a backpack, puzzle and writing and drawing board all in one with an essential step by step learn to write feature.
LeapStart® 3D
The newest addition to LeapFrog’s LeapStart Learning System line is LeapStart 3D, featuring an interactive 3D-like holographic display and touch-and-talk games to deepen the learning through a combination of video, audio and print.

The LeapStart library is also expanding this year, with new titles Mickey and the Roadster Racers Pit Stop and Go, Disney Princesses and Pixar Pals.
