I'm a big proponent of educational videogames and I love how Leapfrog incorporates spelling, reading and math exercises into their games.

At $25 per cartridge (they do sometimes go on sale for $15-$20), it adds up, and it's nice to know that all the money you spent on Leapster games won't go to waste! * The backward compatibility with Leapster Explorer game cartridges. They also love Pixar Pals, where kids can play games and explore the world with Nemo, Woody and Buzz lightyear, as well as Pet Pals 2, where kids can adopt and care for cute dogs while learning about reading graphs, counting, spending and saving money. So far, my kids' favorites are the built-in Camera, where they can take photos and add fun effects like stretching and swirling (included with LeapPad), Art Studio, where you can create drawings and embellish photos (included with the LeapPad), Roly Poly, a cute motion-based app (separate purchase). * The tons of apps and games! There are sooo many more to choose from - over 100+ games and apps by year's end. I have 3 kids so each can have an account and play at their level, and even their friends can play without messing up anyone's scores.

* The ability to have up to 3 accounts plus a guest account. Here are some other things I love about the LeapPad:

They've gotten rid of the chunky console look and gone all sleek and stylish - but it's still very sturdy and kid-friendly, with a magnetic clip-on stylus (plus an extra one in the box in case your little one does manage to lose or break it a bigger screen, audio instructions and graphical clues so kids who don't know how to read can still find their way around. This is definitely Leapfrog's best so far. By the end of the year, LeapPad will have a library of more than 100 cartridge games and apps that include best-in-class educational curriculum. With a library of cartridge games that is cross-compatible with Leapster Explorer and innovative apps, this new tablet is revolutionizing the way children learn by offering the next generation in learning fun, digital reading and personal creativity. LeapPad, a personalized learning tablet designed for kids ages four and up, mirrors popular adult tablets, and includes an on-board camera and video recorder. Keep reading to find out why (and enter to win one of your own!). The buzz over the LeapPad Explorer has been strong since early 2011, and let me tell you, all the hype is NOT misplaced.

As a LeapFrog blogger mom, we were one of the first to get our hands on the product, and we've been playing around with it since mid-August. LeapFrog stopped making the original LeapPads a couple of years back, but now they've come up with a totally new LeapPad: the LeapPad Explorer. Each of my 3 kids had one of those LeapPads since then we've owned at least half a dozen LeapFrog products! We've been LeapFrog fans ever since The Pea received her first LeapPad Learning System for Christmas in 2002. It's funny how just as I think my kids are going to outgrow LeapFrog products, they come up with another cool gadget that has my kids fighting to be the first one to play with it. The holidays are coming up - and I'm giving away a LeapPad! Keep reading to find out how to enter.
