Another post to update you on... this one.
We were trying to decide between the Tag and the Leapster.
Decided to go with the Leapster and could not be happier! I found a great deal on the Leap Frog Website. Got a Star Wars themed game system, with a game, for less than the price of the game system in the store, plus free shipping. Santa did good!
And Alex loves it! He's fascinated by video games, so he thinks it's very cool that he has his own video game. He has two Star Wars games (Jedi Reading and Jedi Math) and he also got a Wall-E game and a game called "My Amusement Park." He really likes all of them! The challenge is getting him to understand that just because the games at level 3 or 4 are fun, he doesn't know how to play them. But he's definitely learning stuff!

Alright, Fellow Moms... help me decide...
Even if you're not a mom, if you're a teacher or an aunt or daycare worker or grandma, I can't figure this one out.
Alex (age 4) is darn close to reading. He loves to spell words, he recognizes words by sight, and has even started to be able to distinguish upper and lower case letters. I'm beyond thrilled, because I was an early reader as well. We want to encourage this as much as possible and have two Christmas present ideas, but can't decide which will be better/more enjoyable.
We are torn between the Leapfrog Tag and the Leapster. This will be his "big gift" for this Christmas.
Both seem like great toys that are also educational. My nephews loved their Leapster and the middle one who is 7 going on 8 still plays with his. So I see it as a good investment.
But I'm intrigued by the Tag as well. It's won the Toy of the Year award, and claims to be the #1 reading system available, but I know no one personally who has one. Do you have the Tag? If so, what do you think? What does your child think?
