Tablets For Kids: LeapFrog Introduces the LeapPad Ultra Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for stopping by. The winner is Faye MC. Congrats!

No compensation was received for this post. Products for review and giveaway were supplied as part of a satellite media tour.

With the holidays right around the corner, each of my children have been making lists of items they hope Santa will bring them. Tech gifts are at the top of my son’s wish list, however as a parent, it’s difficult to sift through all of the electronic games, devices, and tablets for kids.

Recently, child development and learning expert Dr. Jody Sherman LeVos, shared her recommendations for helping families choose the best educational apps for kids. Personalization was an important attribute highlighted by LeVos as she discussed the integration of technology into learning environments.. Games that level up and down with a child as they progress can help prevent frustration or boredom, thus facilitating a more valuable learning experience. All three of LeapFrog’s learning tablets offer personalization and feature a kid-tough design, front and back cameras, video recorders, 4 GB of memory and access to over 800 games, apps, music, and videos.

I personally love the idea of a tablet specifically designed for children because it offers safety features not easily replicated on a conventional tablet, a kid-tough design (how many people do you know with shattered iPad screens?), and easily accessible apps that engage children as active participants in the learning experience. Children love to imitate their parents and very often my son or daughter will want to replicate what they see me doing on my own tablet. A tablet like those offered by LeapFrog is affordable (the base model starts at just $79.99) and allows parents the opportunity to introduce technology in a meaningful way.

The LeapPad Ultra Learning Tablet is LeapFrog’s latest innovation and features WiFi, a rechargeable battery, 11 pre-loaded apps (including art and photo apps), an MP3 player, Pet Chat (a safer way to text), LeapSearch and more. This tablet resembles a conventional tablet in most aspects so children looking to imitate their parents (like my children do) will find the experience fun and engaging.
