Your Mama Loves LeapFrog Math Adventure to the Moon

My son is currently obsessed with space.  Like, hugely big time.  It’s difficult to find space-themed entertainment for his age group (he’s about to turn four.)  He doesn’t like over simplified concepts and I don’t like anything violent.  (So no Star Wars yet, just the version his dad tells him every night before bed.)  Anyway, when the LeapFrog team offered us a preview screener of the new release Math Adventure to the Moon, I figured that would be a great way to satisfy my son’s space and counting obsessions.

I had no idea how MUCH he would like it.  I’m talking demanding to watch the damn thing three times the day we got it.  He loves it.  If we’re talking entertainment for parents, the LeapFrog DVDs are not at the top of my list.  They music and voices don’t exactly leave me dancing and singing along.  But when it comes to speaking to their key audience, the actual kids, they seem to have a winning formula.  My son was all over the songs, counting, and mission to the moon theme.

The DVD helps introduce:

• Sorting/Grouping
• Addition
• Subtraction

Here’s what my son thought:
