Has anyone seen the Leap Frog movies?  I have seen them at the store, and they look interesting.  I am cautious though.  Any feedback would be great.

We loved them and my girls still like to watch especially Gabi who is an auditory learner and then I hear here chanting to herself when she is sounding words out!

We have the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD, and it was just what my 4-year-old son needed. I was teaching him the sounds of the alphabet (through workbooks and discussion), and while he appeared to enjoy it, not much of it seemed to "stick".

After watching Leap Frog a few times, he really caught on! He recognized all the letters and knew their sounds. He also enjoyed watching it, although he did get tired of it after a month.

I feel like it was money well spent, and I plan to get the next DVD in the series, Word Factory.

Amazon has ratings for the Leap Frog DVDs--Letter Factory and Word Factory got very high reviews, while the math DVD (I can't remember the name of it) got only mediocre reviews.

At one point we had Math Circus, Letter Factory and Code Word Caper.  We loved all three of these...I especially liked the Math Circus and Letter Factory.  Ethan got them when he turned 3 and just had so much fun with them.  Totally worth the money in my opinion.  

We no longer have Letter Factory (got stolen) and Ethan never watches the other two anymore, because he's already gotten what he could out of them.  But I would recommend them without hesitation.

We love these, too!  They're a good investment.  Reminds me of the Alvin and the Chipmunks 80's-style animation.  Not to mention . . . GREAT content presented in a MEMORABLE way for kids.  This was very effective for our son.
