Learn with a wide variety of characters such as dinosaurs, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and the characters of Dr. Seuss's stories. Learning is exploration, and it will be for your kids with these interactive Launchpads.

Several tablets in our collection are part of the Launchpad Pre-K Academy which gives preschool-aged children 5 different paths to explore on their way to kindergarten. With a combination of apps, storybooks, and videos – learning will happen right before your eyes.  No downloads. No Wifi.
