This coming holiday season, parents and other adult members of the family are striving to come up with the best gifts to give for the kids in their lives. Each year, a shopping list for the best buys are made and this year is no exception. Several leading childrens' publications have already named the Zippity Learning System by Leap Frog as one of the hottest toys of the holiday season.

The Zippity Learning System is geared towards toddlers three to five years old and will get them jumping, learning, and dancing while playing the game. As they play, kids are exposed to core preschool skills like math, language and music. The system leads them through various learning games that use an interactive mat for lower-body movement like running, dancing, jumping and marching. There's a waist-high joystick, (called a bopper) for upper-body action like moving left, right, forward and back.

The Zippity Learning System is easy to use and comes with eight pre-loaded games, a foldable mat and wireless bopper that communicates with the main console. Leap Frog has partnered with Disney and all of the games feature one or more Disney characters that children play along with. Parents are able to follow their children's progress with the Learning Path feature, a proprietary feature that has set Leap Frog apart from its competitors.

The Zippity Learning System almost "tricks" children into learning. They think they are simply playing, but all the while they are learning important skill sets and building strong foundations for the journey they are soon to embark upon called "school"!
