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:
- Tweet the contest (including a link to my blog). You can do this daily, so each day can equal another extra entry.
- Post about the contest on your blog.
- Join the Blogging ‘Bout Boys community. Sign on as a follower (and be sure to let me know!)
Contest ends at 11:59 pm Central Time on Monday, September 28 2009 and the winner will be announced on Tuesday, September 29. Contest open to residents of the United States and Canada only. The winner be chosen by random.org and will have 48 hours to respond to notification with shipping info. If no response is received, another winner will be chosen at random.
Now for the really good news: You can enter 9 more times! Visit each of these blogs and sign up for extra chances to win. (Not all of the contests are up and running yet, so check back frequently)
Good luck!

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.

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!
