Our friends really enjoyed the products, see for yourself!

Not just as a parent but as a homeschool mom I love these products. They offer a something for all 3 of my oldest children from learning ABC's, learning how to write them, being creative using the camera with the LeapPad, learning letter sounds and reading to just having fun! My only dilema was that we only have one LearingPad and they all wanted to play withit at the sametime!  My children really love electronic toys and when I see them sit and play these LeapFrog products and learn while having fun it's a bonus even more so because they do not even realize they are learning! The Tag Reader is perfect for little hands to play and learn - from games, pre-reading and sounding out words. The World Map fits perfectly into our geography lessons, it's a fun alternative way to learn about the world around is in a fun way! All of these products are awesome and any child would love to have them for Christmas, birthday or just because!

See my dilema - all 3 of my older children want to play and when it's not their turn they enjoy watching their sibling play!
