Holiday Recommendation and Giveaway: Zippity by LeapFrog

My three year old son has loved all things electronic nearly from the moment of his birth. In fact, I'm pretty sure he faked needing to be in the NICU just so he could be surrounded by monitors.

This love of buttons and screen time has put me in a tough position as his mom because I carefully limit the amount of screen time he is allowed each day. Because of this I am very picky about what video games and computer programs I allow in my home. It is important that I choose only the highest quality products for my kids. Many of those products have come from LeapFrog. My children love LeapFrog fridge magnets, the LeapPad learning system, the Tag reader and more. And now they love Zippity!

Zippity works with your television much in same way as a traditional video game, only instead of children sitting and holding a joystick or remote, they are up and moving, using their entire bodies to participate with the characters on the screen. Also, unlike many simple games, Zippity games promote learning, and it is learning that you can track on the LeapFrog Learning Path. Those who use the Tag reading system are experienced with the learning path. By registering for free online you can monitor progress in your child's learning through Zippity and also find ideas that match your child's current learning level.

What I love most about Zippity is how LeapFrog has partnered with Disney to combine the LeapFrog educational electronics I trust with the Disney characters that my children love. As my regular readers know, we love Disney, and my son in particular loves Playhouse Disney. In fact, last spring he named his favorite toy dinosaur Playhouse Disney. This is a picture of Noah meeting Annie from Little Einstein's during our December 2008 trip to Walt Disney World. Noah's Christmas wish list this year is filled with Handy Manny this and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that, which of course would have moved Zippity to the top of his list. It combines so many things that he loves...and receives my seal of approval for how to best use his carefully allotted TV time.
