LeapFrog Kids Lab


Despite the busted lip incident this morning. I managed to juggle two grouchy kids and haul them over to Emeryville in the afternoon for a LeapFrog Kids Lab I signed up for. Today they were looking Ni-Hao Kai-Lan fans, and we fit the bill! She tested out a Tag Jr. (ages 2-4) - a young toddler version of the Tag system (ages 4+) with a Kai-Lan book. Baby C did very well and liked exploring the book with the reader thingy. It's like a fatter version of the Tag pen. She's played with a prototype verison before 6+ months ago, when we last did this.

Baby C also got to play with a new toy debuting in May called the Text & Learn. It's like a Crackberry for kids! (minus the wireless connection). When Daddy J first saw it on their website, he thought it was a bit over the top, but seeing Baby C play with it today, it is right up her alley! She followed the directions pretty well and was actually operating it! It is for kids 3+. They took a couple pictures for possible use on their website. Good timing with her busted lip, right? LOL! Before this, I was not considering this as a possible birthday gift for Baby C, but now, I am rethinking it after this test-drive...but not sure how much it retails for...?

I think it is awesome that LeapFrog puts so much effort into R&D of their products.
