Spend a Day with Olivia
Olivia invites preschoolers into the life and daily routines of
an imaginative, creative little girl. Routines are important for
young children since they help them feel safe, guide their
expectations and provide a sense of control. Olivia takes you
along on her adventures, and incorporates daily activities such
as getting dressed, brushing her teeth or painting a picture.
Children also practice counting and comparing sets of objects,
identifying numbers, adding and subtracting and measuring
ingredients. Olivia also includes a fun dress-up game, where
children get to dress Olivia in different outfits, take a picture
of Olivia and then see the picture appear in Olivia’s room. This
type of gameplay teaches cause and effect, where kids get to see
the results of their actions, and provides a sense of ownership
and empowerment to children.
Get a Leap on Math
Olivia incorporates math into playful games designed for young
learners. Create artistic masterpieces by matching sets of
objects, adding and subtracting numbers in classic
color-by-number play. Trace shapes and numbers to help Olivia ice
skate. Learn how to draw straight and intersecting lines, and
then skate with numbers (from 1-9) and shapes (triangles, ovals,
hexagons and more). When you’re done skating, count Olivia’s
animal friends, and go surfing. Finally, cook up some fun by
counting and measuring ingredients to make kid-favoritre recipes
like smoothies, pizza and fruit salad!
LeapFrog’s Innovative Approach to Learning
Younger preschoolers (age 3+) engage differently than their older
counterparts, so LeapFrog develops content experiences to meet
their specific learning needs. Olivia features simple gameplay
designed to promote engagement with young audiences, including
one-step directions, highlighting icons to click on, and
free-play. Four math mini-games are presented with easy-to-follow
graphics. The games are auto-leveled based on each individual
child’s performance, and children can level down if they need
more support. In addition, tutorials help teach children
underlying concepts. For example, in Olivia’s paint-by-number
game, younger children paint works of art by finding the right
number of dots. As children grow to recognize numbers, they paint
works of art by finding the right numerals. At even more advanced
levels, they paint by doing addition and subtraction.
What's In The Box?
Box includes an Explorer game cartridge (compatible with LeapFrog
LeapPad Explorer Learning s, Leapster ExplorerGS and
Explorer gaming systems, sold separately) and a Parent Guide
Instruction Book.
Take advantage of hundreds of game cartridges and downloads that

educational entertainment content includes videos, music,
learning games, Ultra eBooks and creative activities.
