EasyLink™ Launch Pad

Product#: L6367

Released: 2007

Discontinued: 2008

Ages: 3+

The Easy-Link Internet Launchpad makes it easy for kids to visit preschool-appropriate websites to play online games! It connects easily to your computer via USB and when kids plug a character figure into the Easy-Link Internet Launchpad they are taken directly to that character’s website. (i e. Plug in the Elmo figure and kids are taken directly to the games section of sesamestreet.com) Once a character is plugged in, kids are ONLY allowed to visit pages on that website until they plug in a different character, keeping them away from unsafe websites and from getting into your computer’s files. Kids play the online games on the different websites by using your computer’s current mouse and the arrow keys on the Easy-Link Internet Launchpad. 3 easy-link figures included: Elmo, DragonTales, and Fisher-Price. (8 additional Easy-Link figures sold separately) When parents want to go back to normal computer use, they can enter a passcode to turn the Easy-Link off.

FAQ

Easy Link
- What are the best kind of batteries to use in Fisher-Price® and Mattel® products?
  A. We recommend using alkaline batteries with our products, as they are great for long-term use and help optimize performance. We don't recommend using Carbon-Zinc batteries. While Carbon-Zinc batteries may work well with low-power devices, they can drain after a short period of time and cause certain products to not function properly.
