Thanks to LeapFrog and #MommyParties we were sent a #LeapTV to review. Opinions are 100% my own.
We are a big fan of Leap Frog products. We have all their reading systems, and both my kids love them. So I was really excited to get the chance to review the new LeapTV system. It is on all the hot holiday toy lists, and I can understand why.
Basically, LeapTV is a gaming system that gets kids into the action while teaching core skills across a variety of subjects including: reading, mathematics, science and problem solving.
We hosted a Leap Into Gaming party and invited some friends over to play. We started out with the game: Sports! This game has 9 different sports for the kids to play, and all of them help build math skills! The curriculum auto-adjusts, to make it challenging for all age levels. This game was a HUGE hit. Favorites were snowboarding, super goalie, swimming, and karate. All the parents could see how the game was teaching math skills, but the kids had no idea!
The Dance & Learn game was next. Freeze dance was the crowd favorite here. There is also a drumming game where you complete the rhyme that was a lot of fun. This game focuses on reading skills: vocabulary, phonics, and compound words.
I think this is a great system, since it is really easy for the kids to figure out and use. Each game has a voice guided explanation, which is perfect for children who can’t quite read yet. For the motion games, it has a shadow person set up each time, to show the kids exactly where they should be standing to allow the game to work best. Considering I had a bunch of kids over who had NEVER seen the system before, they all figured out how to use it right away. Both of these games had a lot of different play options, which make you feel like you have way more than two games. Also, when you register your child during set-up, you get a bonus free game automatically!
You can buy LeapTV at a number of retailers or through the Leap Frog website. Be sure to check out Leap Frog and Mommy Parties on Facebook. Also, Leap Frog is on Twitter!

O my this looks like SO MUCH fun!!! Think this might have just been added to the Christmas List!!
We were pretty impressed with it, and it was SO nice that it was easy for the kids to work it. They didnt have any questions on how to play. 🙂 Have a wonderful week!
Sounds fun! And if they can figure it out on their own, maybe mom can get a short break?! Yes.
YES! It's the best part of it (for me at least) 😉 Thanks for stopping over and have a great week!
This is way too cool <3
The kids had a great time! 🙂
That looks like an awesome game system. My 3-year-old would love it. Maybe I should add it to his Christmas list. He's up for anything that encourages him to get up and move, especially to dance!
I think he would like it, it is easy for kids to use, and since he is on the younger side you would get lots of use out of it!
haha that's awesome!! My aunt wanted to get her 5 year old a gaming system… I think this might be just what she's looking for!
Its perfect for 5 year olds! 🙂 Have a great week and thank you for taking the time to comment!
Super fun and it looks like they had a blast! Theresa @DearCreatives

Yes I am trying to use more videos, but I am so lazy when it comes to editing it! (so I found an app that does it right on my phone!) 😉 Hope you are having a great week!
