Love at first byte

It’s never too early to start.

With My Own Leaptop from Leap Frog, your little one can play on a personalized — albeit toy — computer.

Choose and download songs — internet connection required — to create your child’s customized playlist. On their Leaptop, kids can explore the alphabet, pretend play, music, animals and computer literacy with six learning activity stations. And you can connect to the online LeapFrog Learning Path for learning ideas and insights.

The devices come in two colors — green or purple — and are geared towards children 2- to 4-years-old. It’s a nice introduction to computers — and safer than letting them use yours.

My Own Leaptop by Leap Frog, $24.99. For info, visit www.leapfrog.com.
