LeapFrog Pencil Stylus Writing iPhone

LeapFrog Learn to Write with Mr. Pencil Stylus & Writing App (works with iPhone 4/4s/5, iPod touch 4G & iPad) (Toy) Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this?) The Mr. Pencil Stylus works with a free (iOS-only) app that promotes writing practice through games and puzzles. The stylus is large but lightweight. I'd say that kids as young as four would be able to use it - any younger than that, and hand/finger size may hamper its use. The stylus requires no batteries or charging of any kind (yay!).

The writing practice app is really the backbone of the system. Note that it's extremely large - I thought that our download had frozen until I realized that it was actually just crawling along very slowly while dealing with the bulk. Once you launch it, you create a profile for your child - this is nice because you can independently track mulitple kids' progress and the registration process is quick and light (i.e. you don't need to provide any personal information or email address). In use, we noticed that the app provides a good mix of instruction, encouragement, reward and correction. Our son enjoys using it and never complains about it being frustrating.

LeapFrog has always made great learning tools/toys for kids in the pre-school/early grade level and this one is no exception. It's nice that it leverages your own existing tech (iPad, iPhone, etc.) so that you don't have another item that needs to be charged, configured, etc. Our son enjoyed using the stylus and the app provided him with frustration-free practice with his penmanship that he always looks forward to using.
