-- LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:LF), the leader in
innovative learning solutions for children, today announced that
the LeapPad Platinum tablet and Number Lovin' Oven preschool toy
have been named as winners of the 2015 Scholastic Parent &
Child Gold Star Toy Awards.
Scholastic Parent & Child's expert editors as well as a team
of family testers and readers helped to decide what toys kids would
like to receive this holiday season and what products parents will
enjoy giving. After reviewing hundreds of submissions, Scholastic
Parent & Child sent their top selections to a panel of parents
and children to test at home. The winning toys and games were
selected based on innovation and educational value for the child.
Based on this criteria, LeapFrog's most durable and advanced
LeapPad tablet yet, LeapPad Platinum, was named a gold star award
winner in this year's competition. In addition, Number Lovin' Oven,
LeapFrog's pretend play preschool math toy, was LeapFrog's second
gold level winner based on its innovative combination of play and
developmental skills. The winning products are being featured as an
