| LeapBand |
Little Miss is already 7 years old, but I can see that she is going to use it for at least two more years.
She is enjoying the watch feature while at school, and because we have set the time features, the virtual pet only comes alive after school and over weekends!
Little Miss has been wearing it for over a week now.
This is what we love about the LeapBand
- It is both a watch and a wristband tracker!
- Kids run, jump and play to earn rewards and power a customizable pet pal that lives on the band. (The pet pal makes me think of a the Tamagotchi's of the 80's and 90's, although it looks much cuter!)
- For parents, the controls on LeapFrog Connect make it easy to set play times, challenges and more.
- This is a very cool birthday or Christmas present which won't break the bank!
How it works:
- The more kids run, jump and play, the more they earn rewards to power a pet pal that lives on the band.
- Parents can pre-load 50 active challenges on the LeapBand to get kids moving, such as “pounce like a lion”, “march like an elephant” and “wriggle like a worm”.
- There are 8 virtual pets for children to choose from. The more they unlock joules, the more pet pals they can choose from.
- Parents can set up the LeapBand by connecting it to their computer, cellphone or laptop using a USB cable and downloading the LeapFrog Connect application.
- Once the child has unlocked all the pets, the app allows parents to see their child’s activity level for an entire week.
- The LeapBand can be charged via the USB cable, either through a computer or a USB wall charger.
Smart Features:
- The onscreen pet changes colour to reflect your child’s activity level. The feature allows kids to instantly view their progress.
- Kids can also see how many joules (jewels) they've earned and this encourages them to complete activity challenges to unlock new pets.

I think it's a fantastic way to teach kids responsibility with the virtual pets and also a great way to get Kilsyth be more active.
ReplyDeleteLove that it encourages movement in this digital age!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to keep kids active and fit and rewarding them in the process
ReplyDeleteIt gives the kids access to technology, but doesn't take away from their need to be active. It's a really awesome concept and great toy.

ReplyDeleteLove that you can preload activities and it keeps them active.
ReplyDeleteI really think and love that LeapBand has a designed a product to facilitate physical activities in a fun, imaginative, and engaging way, supplemented by LeapBand’s virtual pets and an accompanying app that offer age-appropriate lessons about health and nutrition. I feel it is a great tool to support a child’s healthy development.
ReplyDeleteThis encourages kids to stay active, which is so important to start from an early age.

ReplyDeleteWhat a better way to keep kids active and occupied at the same time
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that it gets kids active and moving just to earn those rewards
ReplyDeleteI would love to monitor how active my daughter really is knowing she's home with 2 couch potatos
ReplyDeleteI love how it encourages the kids to be active!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good idea as it will help kids leave an active, healthy lifestyle. It will also give them something to take care of and look after thus creating responsibility :)
ReplyDeleteMost kids love all things tech, but most of these gadgets turn us into couch potatoes. But the Leapband is totally different! It looks so cool and I'm sure my girl will think so too ;)
ReplyDeletelove how interactive it is and not just another "game toy" for kids but teaching and "rewarding" kids for being active throughout the day
ReplyDeletemaking exercise fun for the kids, a great way to get them off the couch whilst they enjoy and interactive rewarding game
ReplyDeleteThe LeapFrog LeapBand is so cool~
ReplyDeleteAt the same time, I also recommend Cheertone's kid smart watch and mini arcade game player if you are interested.
DeleteWhat a nice and useful kid smart watch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for you share,Karen du
