Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        The Leap Frog brand at Vtech has come up with a new twist on handheld gaming for kids.   The upcoming RockIt Twist is designed for four to eight year olds and will come with a dozen pre-loaded games…that are designed to be fun and educational.   The company’s Tiffany Lavery…

“There are going to be games that cover math and literacy, science and problem solving, a bunch of creativity games.   And then all of them have three levels.  So it’s not just the twelve games, you have levels within them that you can grow into.”

Additional game packs are also on the horizon.  The design, with twists, sliders, spinners and more is designed to improve dexterity …and of course it is rugged enough for four year old handling. Leap Frog knows how to do that well.   The RockIt Twist will arrive this summer…for under sixty dollars.
