When you think of toys for kids that are both educational and super fun, one of the first names that comes to just about everyone’s mind is LeapFrog, right? LeapFrog makes some of the highest quality electronic toys for kids, is always innovative with new games, app’s, and products, and always finds that perfect combination of learning and entertainment. Love LeapFrog products.
Learn, Create, and Share Party!
As a member of MomSelect, I got the super-duper amazing opportunity to try out a bunch of great new products from LeapFrog – and share them with some of my other favorite families! Abby has the LeapFrog My Pal Violet, the super cute plush dog that sings songs and plays games, and it’s one of her favorites. The boys have played with the LeapFrog Leapster Explorer before, but had never gotten to use a LeapPad – and myohmy, were they over-the-top excited to check it out!! It was definitely the most popular toy with the older boys, and they had a blast recording videos on it – and of course the videos were all just ridiculous little boy stuff, like weird dancing, wrestling matches, and gross faces. Sheesh.
Our Party
We were so, so, SO excited to open up the big box of LeapFrog products when they arrived on our front porch. And we were NOT disappointed! Check out all of the amazingly fun – and incredibly educational! – products that were in the huge package we received from LeapFrog for our party, and learn more about them. I had a really wide range of ages of kids for this party – the youngest was 15 months, and the oldest was 9, and every single one of them had fun with these toys! They all seem super durable, they are all the kind of toy that you feel good about kids playing with, and they all brought out a ton of smiles from the kids. What more can you ask for in a toy, right??
What we loved:
LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet – This is recommended for ages 4-9, but even Abby loves it. We like to use it at bedtime, so we can turn out the lights, snuggle up in some blankets, and check out her favorite ebooks. She just adores it. And like I mentioned, this bad boy has a built-in digital camera, video camera, and touchscreen. This post isn’t even long enough to explain to you how cool this thing is – I was seriously blown away.
LeapFrog TAG Reading System – I’ve been wanting to get one of these for the kids since last Christmas – and I was delighted to see that it totally exceeded my expectations! This is also recommended for ages 4-8. All of the kids thought that this was really cool – our little Kindergartner guy gets totally involved with it. He’s learning to read, and this gives him a ton of confidence! You can change the settings to either sound out the letters, or read the words – he loves trying to read it himself, and using the reader to see if he got it right. My older little guy is 8, and is a pretty advanced reader, so this didn’t hold his attention as much. But for any kiddo who’s in the beginning to mid stages of learning to read, this is amazing.
LeapFrog Tag World Map – This is my favorite! I think that this is just so cool… The kids use the Tag reader to discover the world and bring it to life. There are SO many different levels of play and learning with this – Abby love, love, LOVES looking for the animals to touch with the reader, so she can hear the sounds they make. She giggles and claps at the tiger and jaguar – so great to watch. The kids can learn the names of the countries, find kids in the other lands to tell them info like how to say Hello, learn about foods, music, and so much more. All of the kids were completely intrigued by this. It doesn’t come with a reader – you have to get that separately. But it is an amazing addition if you have the Tag reader already!

Love the LeapFrog line of toys. We just purchased a LeapPad for my daughter’s 4th b-day coming in April. Can’t wait to give it to her!!
