The app rates you on how well you built the requested item within the time used. When you are done building, you place your creation on the special playmat and use the camera on your iDevice to scan your creation. The concept is that the app challenges you to build a specific design (like a car or a pineapple) as quickly as you can. This box of 144 Lego bricks comes with a special playmat and a guide on how to play this game using an app downloaded onto an iPhone or an iPod Touch. $29.99, requires iPhone or iPod Touch and free app. From The Lego Group, best for ages 7 and up. That said, this is still a nifty choice for kids. Also, the initial quality of software is better on the LeapPad than on the InnoTab. This kiddie tablet is good, but we like the LeapPad's built-in camera functions. The InnoTab also plays separate cartridge game ($25 each). The device comes loaded with apps, games and books, and can connect online to the Vtech store to download additional content. Similar in size and functionality to the LeapPad, the InnoTab is $20 less because it doesn't include the camera and video recorder functionality of the LeapPad. Parents will welcome the connection to the Leapfrog Learning Path, a service that tracks what kids are learning and then offers suggestions about new apps and games to play next. While it comes loaded with lots of apps to explore, the best thing about this system is that it plays the new LeapPad Ultra eBooks, robust interactive books that feature cinematics, learning games, the defining and highlighting of words as read and the adjustment of reading level based on the child's ability. The LeapPad houses a camera and video recorder, and has a microphone that supports voice commands and recordings.
