LeapFrog Learning Difference
True to the LeapFrog philosophy, there’s more than just writing practice that goes into the Scribble & Write tablet. Activities go beyond handwriting to introduce letter sounds, counting and hand-eye coordination. Research is behind our thoughtfully redesigned stylus, which accommodates the development of grip, strength, and dexterity. What’s more, the new design offers two ways to hold the stylus depending on development and experience, as well as both left- and right-hand functionality. A level switch allows you to control the level of challenge, whether in just-learning-to-scribble phase or advancing on to tracing and letter strokes.
Innovative Learning Approach
LeapFrog Scribble & Write encourages young children to learn handwriting through reinforced guidance and experimentation. The innovative tablet also teaches letter sounds, counting and the development of hand-eye coordination. “Scribble & Write offers multiple levels of learning fun, from early exploration of letter shapes to stroke-by-stroke instant accuracy feedback. Kids are guided to write letters in an engaging and interactive experience at their own pace.”—LeapFrog Learning Team

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As I said, we found no issues with quality - with normal writing pressure and room lighting, the lines appear just fine, and disappear with the easy-to-use eraser slider. I'm wondering if another reviewer is referring to the small adjustment period where the kid learns that holding the stylus is not quite the same as holding a pen or crayon, and during those few minutes the kid may have a hard time writing with appropriate pressure?
Yes, fingerprints smudge it, but I haven't seen that intruding on the experience for the kid. I mean, if the screen gets cluttered with stray marks, it's easy to use the eraser and start the exercise over - which sort of surprised me, because I was expecting it to be like other toys and require a complex sequence of programming selections after the kid makes a mistake. Which brings me to one thing I really like about the toy - it's simple. It's not trying to be a computer. It's a writing tablet with limited playing options. Yes, that's a bonus from our perspective. The kid doesn't have to learn a complex set of options and selections before using it.
Another great thing is that each exercise moves at a pace that is just right for the kid to follow - not so quickly he can't follow the instructions, and not so slowly he's sitting there yawning.
But the best, absolutely best thing about this toy is how CLEAR the speaking voice is. Most kids' electronic toys have fuzzy recordings that can only be "best-guessed" by a kid who's already familiar with the order of the words - like the letter "f" sounding like "s" and "m", and only being identifiable as "f" because it comes after "e". Not this toy. Every word is well articulated. It's so great to see my kid understanding everything and NOT just listing to the toy's music because the sounds are nonsense.
I was kind of afraid the toy would replace writing on paper for the kid, but I don't think that's going to happen. The toy provides some positive feedback (the fireworks are a particular favorite), which offers incentive. But it's not a replacement for paper, since there's not room enough on the screen for whole words with little-kid-sized letters. But there IS enough room for the kid to do small doodles and exercise his creativity.
This toy is not totally the ideal dream toy, yes. I agree it would be nice if it had numbers practice, although that might take away from the "simplicity" aspect I like about it. And I'm embarrassed to admit it took me forever to figure out how the toy can be used just for doodling creatively, with no lights and sounds (the answer, of course, is to turn the toy off - duh! - so maybe this is something that should be included in the instructions for not-quite-gadget-literate parents like me).
But for the price, and judging by what a hit this thing is with our kid, it's really great, and I'd not hesitate to get it for other young kids as a gift.
It is so easy to use. My son took to it at once.
He's 3 years old and it is one of his favorite gifts from Christmas.
Best Christmas gift I've ever bought.
It is basically teaching you to write by tracing the lights.
It teaches you Upper cases and Lower cases of the alphabets and the numbers 1 till 10.
It has 2 levels which you can find on the left.
The right one is the power button and the sounds. Low and high.
It engages your child. If you didn't trace the letters right it will tell you and advised you to try again.
The screen at the bottom can be used for just drawing as well, if you don't power it up.
My son has a great time playing with it. And then just slides and erase.
We are still working on how to hold the pen or stylus though.
This is very interactive. I have provided a video below on how it works.
It uses 3 double A batteries which are included but it was advised that you changed it since it's only for a try me.
The stylus is very easy to grip and it is attached and you can store it the back so you won't worry that it will be lost.
My son has dropped this a few times and it still works great.
It is very sturdy and durable.

This toy is obviously not going to appeal to every child. Our 4 year old son is much more mechanically minded, and completely enamored with legos and anything requiring building, etc. He enjoys the Scribble and Write for a short while, but it's not a complete attention grabber for him. I'm not sure he would've been more excited about it even when he was younger and possibly more into these types of toys. It does, however, seem to spark his interest in trying to write letters far more than crayons and paper. For that, I call it a home run.
The only cons to the Scribble and Write, and thus the reason for 4 stars rather than 5, are:
1. The slider gets jammed on one side easily. It's annoying and makes me think this particular one may not last long., However it's not worth it to send it back and wait for a new one--we'd have a revolt on our hands, as it's such a loved toy. Just be aware that the slider may feel flimsy.
2. Volume control. Although it offers two levels, they are both quite loud and it would never be appropriate to take on an airplane, for instance, unless you were perfectly willing to incite violence. I REALLY wish that a silent option was available, as the verbal cues are meaningless in any case ("Good job! Way to Go!", etc.)
Speaking of the verbal cues...other reviews have been very critical of the canned positive responses. They can be annoying, yes, but they're not something that really bothers me. That's where we parents come in...A product that could actually track if the child was forming letters correctly, and then offer any sort of corrective advice, would likely be fairly expensive.
Top reviews from other countries
Bought this for Rs.1277/- from seller Cloudtail.
It has two levels
LEVEL1- English alphabets- Uppercase and Lowercase
LEVEL2- Numeracy- Numbers from 1-10
The stylus provided is attached to the main body of the unit hence guranteed you do not lose sleep over your child losing it.
There are blinking lights and voice guidance to assist the child to trace the alphabets/numbers in the correct manner and there is immediate audio feedback about whether you did a good job or need to practice again.
There is a catch-the-butterfly/lights game after each learning exercise to break the monotony of learning.
