Computer Game Giveaway: Itza Bitza

2009
9 Comments

The computer is in high demand around here. C. wants to check out the latest Garfield comic; Chad’s hoping to read the progress of the Tour of Flanders or whatever the latest bicycle race happens to be; and L. would like to complete an activity over at the Word World site.  The kids are learning to take turns, while still making sure Dad gets his time at the cycling websites computer.

(Oh, and what about me, you ask? I’ve been known to sneak away with my laptop. I’m also guilty of not teaching L. how to do fun stuff on my laptop. Self-preservation, I claim. It’s best for everyone if Mommy can check her email at will.)

The bottom line is, we’re all fans of the computer, so I was quick to say yes when the creator of the computer game ItzaBitza asked me to give it a try and share my thoughts.  Though my kids are both outside the recommended age range (C.’s too old and L.’s too young), we were all happy to try it out anyway.

Giveaway: LeapFrog Tag Reader Bundle

2009

The other day, I was looking at LeapFrog’s Tag Reading System at the store and I thought it would make a great gift for my book-obsessed 2.5-year-old either next Christmas or for his 4th birthday. If you’re not familiar with Tag, it’s basically a cool “pen” that pre-readers and early readers can use to help them read and experience special storybooks and activity books that are part of the Tag system. Check out this review of the Tag system or the demo at the LeapFrog site — they do a much better job explaining things!

Here’s the great news: As part of National Reading Month, LeapFrog is giving away several of their Tag Reader Bundles, and I have the privilege of giving one of those bundles away, here on Callapidder Days.

Tag ReaderThe Tag Reader Bundle includes:

  • A Tag Reader
  • The Ozzie & Mack book that comes standard with a reader
  • 2 additional Tag books: Dr. Seuss’ Cat in the Hat and Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham
