Giveaway: LeapFrog Tag Reading System Bundle!

I love educational toys. So I’m very pleased to announce a new contest (drum roll, please!), the LeapFrog Tag Reading System Giveway.

Thanks to my friend Sarah Ludwig at Parenting by Trial and Error, I’ve been selected as one of ten bloggers to host a LeapFrog giveaway. The prize is amazing: a LeapFrog Tag Reading System, including The Cat in the Hat and two extra books. Retail value: $77.97

In case you’re not familiar with the Tag, it’s the one with the magic pen — you know, the pen that your child can drag over the words to read the words outloud. It also interacts with the book in dozen other ways (check out the demo), offering kids multiple ways to enter into the story. The Tag Reading System has won 28 awards in 6 countries and was recently named the Best Educational Toy of 2009.

So how do you enter? Leave a comment here, telling me why you want to win. (Limit one comment per person. For extra entries, you can:

  25. Why do I want to win? Because my 4 1/2 year old son informed me the other day that he’s tired of having me read to him: “I want to read by myself right NOW, Mama!” This gizmo will help! Plus, he loves gadgets…

  35. I would love to have one of these for my four year old, just starting preschool. She wanted me to teach her how to read one night. “No mama, ALL the words”. YIKES!

  39. It’s never to early to instill a love of reading and books in a child and the Leapfrog system is wonderful for that.

  49. We have one Tag Reader & 3 of my kids fight over it. We really need at least one more, plus I’m totally excited about this new version that holds 10 books, I’m getting really tired of taking off books to add a different one.

  55. We love reading to our daughter and have been reading to her since she was less than a year old (she is now six). She loves to be read to and she likes reading when someone is watching over her shoulders but she does not like independent reading. It would be great to have the LeapFrog reader to help her gain a love for independent reading. I can envision her getting stuck on some words and using the pen to help her get through the tough parts. While I would still love to continue read to her, I hope this can also inspire to read on her own.

    I also have boy/girl twins who are just shy of two, I would love to try to use this system with them too and hopefully create a foundation for a love of reading.

  59. I would love to have this for my grandson. He is just at the stage of recognizing some words, very early reading and has a great love of books. His parents and siblings read to him and get books from the library but this would be something of his own that would help him learn to read and would be FUN!

  98. I’d love to win this for my daughter! She is a very bright 2yo who is already starting to put letters together to make words, such as “baby” – I think this would be perfect to take her the next step!

  187. I’d love to win for my nephew who is the middle of three kids. He’s too young to be helpful around the house yet too old to be cutesy like baby brother. I’d love for him to have something that is just his alone. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com

  195. I would love to win this for my granddaughter because of her love for books. This is a wonderful learning tool and the magic pen is so awesome. I can see it now, she’d be dragging that pen over those words constantly just so she could hear them spoken outloud. What a marvelous interaction toy.

    Please enter me in this fabulous giveaway. Thank you.

  198. I would love to win since my daughter wants to read so badly. This would definitely help–I’ve even seen their phonics books at Target. I think we’d have fun picking those up and some of her favorite books as well!
