Number Busters is the exciting new collectible card and figure game from Little Tikes. Kids develop their counting and math skills as they battle imaginary creatures from the worlds of space, land, water, and fire. Here’s the idea, each character has a random number on its foot and players use the numbers to face off and try to knock each other’s characters out. There are 62 fierce and fun pre-historic creatures in all. The game play helps kids learn number recognition, counting, and simple addition and there are three different levels of game play for every stage of a child’s development. The Number Busters Deluxe Starter Set has an added degree of excitement and skill to the game, as players add the number on the character’s foot to the corresponding card and to the number of lights which are randomly generated when they face duel. Number Busters is a great avenue for parents to sit down with their children to help them learn their numbers and for more advanced children to play on their own with friends. www.littletikes.com Leapfrog revolutionized the way children learn to read with the LeapPad and last year's Tag reader, and now they have something to help even younger children explore and develop a love for books. The Tag Junior Book Pal, based on the proven Tag technology, brings stories to life in a way that is just right for children ages 2-4. The toddler-sized book explorer is powered by a small infrared camera that reads the words and pictures printed in the sturdy board books in the Tag Junior collection. Kids can hear a block of text read aloud or hear funny sound effects and learning songs embedded in the pictures. Parents can use their computers to download each book’s audio then drag and drop content onto the device -- just like managing digital camera or MP3 files. Parents can even choose to have the Tag Junior Pal greet their child by name. The Tag Junior handheld can hold audio for up to five books at a time. On shelves this summer, comes with one included title, nine additional sold separately. www.leapfrog.com If you like High School Musical – you’re going to like this game.
