(ENDED) Leap Frog Text & Learn Review and Giveaway

What do children see – their parents texting and talking on their cell phones. So it is to be expected that you kids would want what you had. Leap Frog has come up with and awesome alternative to giving your child your phone. The Text & Learn is a great toy for your little ones to feel like they are a grown up. It was designed to resemble the Blackberry. What is even cuter is if your child has Scout they can exchange text messages with him and even check Scout’s planner. Read below for more info.

From Leap Frog’s Website: Little learners play in a grown-up way with Text and Learn! The pretend browser and play text messages with Scout lead to real-life skills as children explore letters and QWERTY keyboarding in fun on-the-go games.

Ages: 3+ Years Old

Text and Learn is designed to let little learners play in a grown-up way! Children can exchange text messages with their puppy pal Scout, check Scout’s planner to see what his week entails and more in the pretend browser mode. Other learning modes offer practice with letter matching, shape identification and QWERTY keyboard navigation through silly animations and sound effects. Children also explore letter names and sounds. Parents can connect to the online LeapFrog Learning Path for customized learning insights and ideas to expand the learning.

Learning Skills:
- QWERTY keyboarding
- The alphabet
- Shapes
- Following directions

My children love this toy. They choose to keep it in the car because we are often on the go and this gives them something to do as well as learn at the same time. Even my 15mo tries to play with it. I love this toy for not only what it teaches but also for the price. It is only $21.99. Who can beat that? I know of toys that cost alot more and do alot less.

I did have a video of my kids playing but somehow it disappeared off my computer. I can’t find it anywhere. I was going to do another but my kids have had enough and won’t cooperate, lol. So below is a video courtesy of Test Freaks.

Stayed tuned for my review and giveaway Scout.
