Keeping kids occupied on the go can be a tricky situation. You face side-eye from Judgy McJudgersons if your kid gets bored and acts out, but those same judgmental folks (non-parents, obviously) will also scorn you for handing your child anything with a screen. It can feel like a no-win situation sometimes!
Geared toward kids 3-8 years old, the LeapFrog On-the-Go Story Pal helps encourage listening comprehension, stimulates imagination, and builds critical vocabulary skills while keeping them busy, and we’d say that’s a definite win.
This adorable bunny-shaped story player clips conveniently to a backpack or bag with the included carrying strap, and features large easy-to-use controls (read: they’re kid-friendly for independent use, so you don’t have to mess with it every two minutes). You can create a playlist of five of your child’s favorite stories or songs, so they can always find the ones they like best. You can also customize it with up to 10 minutes of your own audio – whether that’s your voice reading a favorite story, singing a song, or just leaving a sweet and comforting message for your child. There’s also a bedtime feature, wherein you can choose the number of things the On-the-Go Story Pal plays before shutting itself off.
