Nanny to Mommy

I partnered with The Hopping Bloggers for this sponsored Holiday Gift Guide.

It's that time of year again! We have so many little ones in our lives that I have decided to not just create a list of items my children would like, but also my nieces and even their friends. So this year's gift guide for kids is for just about everyone! I have joined up with The Hopping Bloggers to bring you some of this year's hot items that kids are sure to enjoy!

Today starts our first day back to school. She started Kindergarten this year and although she went to preschool the past two years, it finally dawned on me that this is big kid school. I like to expand my daughter's education through out the summer to make sure her mind keeps moving. I have been a HUGE fan of homeschooling with LeapFrog products for many years now and the new LeapStart interactive early learning system is perfect for the budding student.

We LOVE our LeapFrog LeapTV! LeapTV is an educational gaming system that combines body-motion, traditional gaming, and educational content for a good-for-them gaming experience that gets kids up and active while they learn core skills across reading, mathematics, science, and problem solving. My daughter has learned SO MUCH since we first received it to review.

The LeapTV makes an awesome holiday gift for kids, especially at the new low price point of only $59.99! PLUS there are TONS of new games this year that you will want to check out:

Keep little builders learning with the LeapFrog Build & Discover Tool Set, designed just for toddlers ages 2 years and up. My son is loving this because he is at a very hands on stage right now and he loves to bang and "fix".

We are HUGE fans of the LeapFrog learning toys. We have been buying LeapFrog products since my daughter was a baby, but I have loved them well before that. LeapFrog has helped my daughter learn letters and numbers in fun and exciting ways. As part of the LeapFrog Mom Squad, I get to test out products, share my thoughts, and gain valuable information about the brand that I get to share with all of you! I recently shared my post about the new LeapFrog Epic and now I'm excited to share the new Number Lovin' Oven and have even included it in my Holiday Gift Guide.


With the LeapFrog Number Lovin' Oven , little chefs can enjoy hours of pretend-play fun with learning secretly baked in.

As a LeapFrog Mom, we get to try out so many exciting products, including the new Andriod™ based tablet...the LeapFrog Epic™! The full-featured LeapFrog Epic™ tablet captivates kids with a world they create in the first-of-its-kind playable home screen. Children can bring a town to life, using various art styles that reflect their age and mod. They can watch their world turn from day to night, change the weather, add animated characters and discover a new surprise every day.

I know that I have mentioned how I am now a LeapFrog Mom Ambassador. I am so excited to be an ambassador for this brand because I have been a HUGE fan for YEARS. As part of the LeapFrog Mom Squad, we received a ton of awesome goodies, including the LeapPad Platinum and Imagicards. But the first thing my daughter went for was the Word Whammer. You can check out my unboxing video on YouTube.


The LeapFrog Word Whammer is a great way to bump an up and coming kindergartener's letter skills up. With 3 action-packed games and 5 learning levels that adapt as children play, the Word Whammer toy gets kids jamming on phonics skills as they spin, push and twist the handles to identify and build words.

We are HUGE fans of the LeapFrog learning toys. From our LeapTV to our LeapReader, LeapFrog has helped my daughter learn letters and numbers in fun and exciting ways. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, then you already know that I am super excited about becoming a LeapFrog Mom Ambassador!

As part of our September kit, we received the LeapPad Platinum, Imagicards games, and Word Whammer. The Imagicard games we received were: LeapFrog Letter Factory Adventures (ages 4-7), PAW Patrol (ages 3-5), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (ages 5-8). My daughter loved the Word Whammer, which I will share about in another post. But today I wanted to share about the LeapPad Platinum and Imagicards.

This interview opportunity was sponsored by LeapFrog.

It’s no secret that the earlier kids start reading, the better their chances for success in school and in life. However, according to the US Department of Education, only about half of all young children who are three to five-years old are read to on a daily basis by a family member. Getting kids to start reading earlier sets them up for better chances of success in school and life. So, what can be done to boost those numbers and have a positive impact on kids?

I have always been a huge fan of the Leapfrog since I was sent my very first product to review through Mommy Parties. Leapfrog products are not just educational, but very entertaining as well. Their newest and hottest product is the LeapFrog LeapTV which is an educational active gaming system. This product is so innovative it is on Amazon's Hot Holiday Toy List of 2014!
