This Lil Piglet

Give the Gift of Learning with @LeapFrog

I love the holidays almost as much as the kids. Of course their reasons might be a little different than mine but I can honestly say that I enjoy seeing what my little ones come up with on their Christmas wish lists; there’s always at least one item listed that makes me giggle.  This year my 11 year old, Miss Priss, wrote “blinds” on her list which for anyone that doesn’t know, we haven’t quite got around to purchasing window coverings for our home; I suppose this was her way of telling us that she would like us to get on with it already.

 

My youngest LO, Baby Girl, is a little less modest; at the age of 2.5 years she LOVES technology and often plays game apps on one of our iPhones, clothing optional. *cough* Such is the life of a toddler.  I find it interesting to watch how easily she can maneuver between games, screens and controls; it’s obvious she has her own app preferences.  For a little guidance this year, check out LeapFrog’s Gift Guide, follow on Twitter and Facebook.

This Christmas we decided the LeapsterGS would be the perfect gift for Baby Girl.  With her love for technology and her clear understanding of learning apps she will choose her list of favourite apps in no time.  Based on my experience with her app choices on my iPhone, these are the top 5 age appropriate apps I feel would be a great fit with her new LeapsterGS:
