12 DAYS of GIVEAWAYS - Touch Magic Rockin' Guitar

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. CONGRATULATIONS MELISSA! And thanks to everyone who entered! Plenty more opportunity during this Christmas Extravaganza so check it out!

We have been so lucky to try out the Touch Magic Rockin' Guitar by Leapfrog. After the success we have had with Scout the LapPup (he comes with us everywhere!) and the Alphabet Learning Bus, Tom was more than happy to get rockin' with this guitar!

I love the technology that LeapFrog are taking on board here. The guitar is a smooth surface, and every touch, or swipe brings the toy to life in one way or another.

The guitar has 10 built in songs, including popular ones like "If you're happy and you know it" and the "ABC" song. If you 'strum' the guitar really fast it increases the speed of the singing. So cute! Tom was rocking back and forth to the music and having a blast.

It encourages roleplay and who wouldn't love a bit of rockin' and rollin? Even the hubby couldn't resist whipping out his Ramones t-shirt and getting a bit rock n' roll...

And it gives you some applause too so total satisfaction there!

The Touch Magic Guitar is geared to ages 3 years + and that's definitely where it would be most beneficial. However, at 12 months old, Tom is still enjoying it by learning that different buttons do different things and of course, rocking to the music! He will grow into being able to understand the prompts given to him like "Touch the song button to play a song, then start strumming the guitar"

Let's face it...the kid looks like a budding rockstar already!

I am seriously getting addicted to LeapFrog’s products. When they come to the door I’m like the giddy kid who is just about to open a Christmas present – EVERY TIME.

The first toys we had come to us were the LapPup and the Musical Counting Pal. The LapPup is growing to be Mr.T’s favourite toy and I continue to discover new things that are so great about it. He pushes the buttons and rocks back and forth to the music. It is so light and compact, Scout the Pup now comes with us everywhere!

The new Touch Magic range by LeapFrog is so darn clever. I couldn’t wait to see Mr.T have a play as well as do some of my own investigating as to the educational benefits of the range.

And so came the Touch Magic Learning Bus! I loved seeing Mr.T’s face as he had his first play with it...

What I love most

** I love how beautifully flat it is – no chunky buttons that are hard to press or push down on. The entire toy is slim too, which makes it so easy to take anywhere.

** The touch technology is fantastic! It incorporates the latest technology at such a great price (RRP $39.95). Perfect if you want your little ones to get engaged without the use of your precious and expensive Ipad or Iphone. The size of it makes it perfect for little fingers to touch the right spots too.

**It has two types of volume control and the switch is on the back away from the child’s reach.

**It does so much – With more than 40 touch spots that respond in different ways depending on which of the 3 learning modes is selected. This is not a toy that a child will get bored with!

** I love the way it scaffolds the child’s learning by asking the question in a different way if the answer is incorrect and it doesn’t use words like “That’s not right” or “try again” but rather, it asks in a different way and then when the child does get it right, it repeats the correct answer, reinforcing it in the child’s mind. Too clever!

The Touch Magic Learning Bus is aimed at 2 years+. My little man still loved touching the interface and rocking to the music (his latest trick) and he is listening to it when it plays the alphabet song and repeats letters and sounds. All which will help his learning! But I think it would be more perfectly suited for the age it is aimed for. It won’t be long before Mr.T is gaining so much from the magic that is the Touch Magic Learning Bus.
