JumpStart Toddlers is a 1996 educational video game and the fourth within the JumpStart franchise. An enhanced version was released in 2000. While the game itself received generally positive reviews, much of the commentary surrounding this title was as a key example of a burgeoning controversial lap-ware video gaming market, targeting children aged 5 and under.
