Mega LeapFrog Giveaway
So. I’ve talked about the LeapFrog LeapBand, which encourages kids to be active. And I’ve talked about LeapFrog LeapTV, which also pairs activity with education via a console gaming system. I have not yet shared with you the LeapFrog LeapPad 3, but it is the latest iteration of LeapFrog’s handheld gaming units. It’s a bit smaller and lighter than the LeapPad Ultra, making it more friendly for smaller gamers to hold. It’s also faster and less expensive, so there’s a lot going for this device as long as you’re willing to sacrifice some screen real estate. But, other than sharing the LeapFrog colors, quality, and educational gaming experience, what do these three items have in common?
They are all part of my Mega LeapFrog Giveaway bundle! If you’ve got young kids in your life, you want to win this. It’s amazing. The winner will receive:
- A LeapPad 3
- 5 Cartridges for the LeapPad
- LeapTV
- 3 Titles for the LeapTV
- 2 LeapBands
The whole thing is worth more than $500 and whether it goes to a classroom, or to some really lucky kids at home, someone is going to be very, very happy.

The leapband works by encouraging kids to earn jewels for activities.
I learned that the LeapTV helps kids to associate gaming with activity. I like that!
I actually didn’t know about the LeapBand. I have a Fitbit and my daughter is always asking if she can get one. Glad to learn about the LeapBand!
I would love this for my Granddaughter.
Got the zzz Leapband for Great Nephew. His Grandmother brought the Leap TV.
Faster. Less Expensive. Win Win!
Tyler doesn’t need encouraging to get excercise…he doesn’t stop! I DO think he would LOVE to see how all his energy is healthy for him! ( and me too!). Would like to win this bundle for Tyler for Christmas!
teh activities on the leapband can be locked while kids are in school.
I found this interesting: The LeapBand comes with set of challenges installed, but parents can add more when they connect to their LeapFrog Connect accounts. They can also connect with a special free Petathalon app on their LeapPad, iPad, or Android device.
The games are developed by educators and adapt as the kids learn.
I learned that the The LeapTV system retails at $149.99 but the controllers and games for it retails at about $29.99
I am impressed that the leapband makes suggestions for how the kids could move rather than just saying, “hey there get moving.” I agree that the size of the band is a bit large especially for all day wear at school. Curious, you mentioned it is intended to wear at bedtime, does it track sleep patterns similar to the fitbit?
I really had no idea there was a “fitbit” like device for kids. I learned that they can earn virtual rewards for being active. My daughter would adore this. She thrives on that sort of thing. I also think the LeapTV would be good for her, as we struggle with other game consoles. She gets frustrated easily. Maybe this one is a little more basic and she might handle it better.
they are great educational products.
I learned that each player on the Leap Tv can set up a profile to keep the level and content appropriate for their own learning. I love this concept!
I learned that the Leapband will help keep children active. This is a cool idea.
I learned that the LeapBand is like a pedometer for Kids! Which would definitely make being active fun for them. I agree with you that they don’t really need to be reminded to be active (my 3 & 5 year old have SO much energy!) but it’s great that it gives them positive feedback letting them know it’s healthy to be active and for it to hopefully be a habit when they are older!
The LeapTV comes with a camera and controller that acts a lot like the Playstation Move for little kids.
that it has parental timers to help with play time
I learned that the leaptv is an educational, active video gaming system built just for kids ages 3-8 years.
It Teaches reading, mathematics, science and problem solving skills. This sounds amazing! I have a 7,4 and almost 3 year old that would have so much fun with these toys. Thanks for the chance!

The LeapTV is a game console, much like it sounds, that also encourages physical activity
I learned that the Leapband will help keep children active which is a big plus for me :)
Some games use only the camera as an input device, which is more familiar to Kinect users.
Parents can set lockout times on the leapband and it will still function as a watch.
I learned that the The LeapTV system is not as expensive as I thought.

I learned the Leaptv controller converts quickly and easily to a wand (see below) with an LED color tip that helps the camera recognize where you are pointing.
