Spend a Day with Olivia Olivia invites preschoolers into the life and daily routines of an imaginative, creative little girl. Routines are important for young children since they help them feel safe, guide their expectations and provide a sense of control. Olivia takes you along on her adventures, and incorporates daily activities such as getting dressed, brushing her teeth or painting a picture. Children also practice counting and comparing sets of objects, identifying numbers, adding and subtracting and measuring ingredients. Olivia also includes a fun dress-up game, where children get to dress Olivia in different outfits, take a picture of Olivia and then see the picture appear in Olivia’s room. This type of gameplay teaches cause and effect, where kids get to see the results of their actions, and provides a sense of ownership and empowerment to children. Get a Leap on Math Olivia incorporates math into playful games designed for young learners. Create artistic masterpieces by matching sets of objects, adding and subtracting numbers in classic color-by-number play. Trace shapes and numbers to help Olivia ice skate. Learn how to draw straight and intersecting lines, and then skate with numbers (from 1-9) and shapes (triangles, ovals, hexagons and more). When you’re done skating, count Olivia’s animal friends, and go surfing. Finally, cook up some fun by counting and measuring ingredients to make kid-favoritre recipes like smoothies, pizza and fruit salad! LeapFrog’s Innovative Approach to Learning Younger preschoolers (age 3+) engage differently than their older counterparts, so LeapFrog develops content experiences to meet their specific learning needs. Olivia features simple gameplay designed to promote engagement with young audiences, including one-step directions, highlighting icons to click on, and free-play. Four math mini-games are presented with easy-to-follow graphics. The games are auto-leveled based on each individual child’s performance, and children can level down if they need more support. In addition, tutorials help teach children underlying concepts. For example, in Olivia’s paint-by-number game, younger children paint works of art by finding the right number of dots. As children grow to recognize numbers, they paint works of art by finding the right numerals. At even more advanced levels, they paint by doing addition and subtraction. What's In The Box? Box includes an Explorer game cartridge (compatible with LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Learning s, Leapster ExplorerGS and Explorer gaming systems, sold separately) and a Parent Guide Instruction Book. Take advantage of hundreds of game cartridges and downloads that keep kids challenged and inspired. LeapFrog’s library of educational entertainment content includes videos, music, learning games, Ultra eBooks and creative activities.
