Leapfrog: Math Adventures To The Moon

Bought for my homeschool kiddos. They love leap and this film.

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+!

Our 3 year old grandson loves this

I teacher Kindergarten and my students loved this movie! Educational, fun, and not over stimulating. When my students earn a movie for a reward, I always feel good putting Leap Frog on since it will be benefiting my students.

I purchased 4 Leap Frog videos containing math & phonics. School is never over at Nana's house for the summer. Watching a few a day & practicing writing, will keep the soon-to-be Kindergartener prepared.

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.

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.

I like this one for number recognition (visual and verbal), counting by five and ten, and for the very brief section it has introducing addition. I'm sure it could be better and I really like the Letter Factory series much better, but this is a great place to start for numbers. So I definitely recommend it for kids 3 and up.
