We are so excited to offer something new- two preloaded learning tablets called Playaway Launchpads. They're filled with interactive games and books selected with kids in mind- it's the tablet experience without internet access. One is called "Where. Here. There! Lifeskills for grades K-2" and is full of interactive books, games and activities. There's a dog rescue game, a Chutes And Ladders game, and Highlights Hidden Pictures that even the adults will find challenging. "STEM Is Code For Fun" is a Launchpad structured to build math skills and learn some coding basics- for kids age 5 and up. This tablet includes a map of the night sky, information about mummies, and a bio of George Washington Carver. Both of these sturdy tablets come with a charge cord, a power adapter and a carrying case. They're perfect for those times when you're waiting in the car- the devices are completely mobile. You can check one out for two weeks, but they can not be renewed because we want everyone to have the opportunity to play!
