Leapfrog’s Leappad is a learning tablet just for kids. With a built-in camera, and a library of 100+ cartridge games and activities*, the durable LeapPad features innovative apps that inspire creativity and turn reading into fun and games. It’s a new way to learn, a new way to play – a new way to unlock your child’s potential!

It is the #1 selling kids electronic this Christmas season selling out nationwide.

When I first received this, I immediately fell in love with it. If I didn’t have to fight my son for it I would keep it myself. I don’t own a iPad so this was totally new to me. One of my favorite games I played with my son was the train game. You have to fix the tracks the right way to make sure the train goes the right way.

The camera is a fun feature, but my kids have been using it way to much. They walk around just snapping pictures of everything and making them their own with features. I took a picture of my son and then we started having fun with it. We moved to his nose to make it a long point.

Now the only problem I have is I have one Leappad and 3 kids, even though we do have 2 Leapster Explorers. The Leappad is so much more cooler than a Leapster according to my daughter.

Monster High Dead Tired Doll Collection: Frankie Stein is the daughter of the infamous Frankenstein. After a long week at school, the girls are “dead tired” and in need of a little rest and relaxation. Meet the coolest children of some of history’s most infamously famous Monsters. These are the trendiest ghouls at Monster High in their stylish sleepover fashions. They get together for a sleepover and some scary fun “ghoul” time. Collection includes doll with eye mask, Dead Tired outfit and accessory for the sleepover. Doll is fully articulated so they can be posed in many different ways.

**** I have never heard of Monster High until a few months ago. LOL! So this is our first official Monster High doll in the house. When I first opened the doll her arm came off and I started panicking, I thought I broke it. Soon after I realized it was meant to do that.  I did notice that a few parts were missing, the bottom of the stand for the doll was missing. Of course to my kids that did not really matter because they will be playing with her all day long. My girls love this doll!

Bring Mario Kart Wii to life! Build Mario and Luigi from the Starting Line of the Bowser’s Castle Track. The set includes the parts to build Mario and Luigi, 2 Sprinter Karts with super-fast battery-powered motors, a sound module with the starting sounds from the game and 2 collectible items from the game: a Mushroom and a Stal! Also includes 16 pieces of buildable, interconnectable track that creates a closed loop- combine this set with other sets from the Mario Kart Wii Series to build even bigger tracks!

***** We received this set and my kids were just thrilled, so I put it together for them. I have to admit that it took 4 hrs to put this playlet together, well I had kids running around that was the main reason. I finally got it put together, and the kids just had so much fun. The race cars are motorized and run on batteries, and you can smash them with big rocks just like on Mario Kart. The one problem we had was the track fell apart very easily, the track and K’Nex pieces. The other problem was the batteries die really fast in the cars.

Retail:$59.99 but you can find on Amazon for $44.99
