This morning I went to a friends house and we introduced the kids to the LeapBand and a the idea of staying fit and having fun. There were so many neat things the LeapBand could do – they were an instant hit with the kids, as well as all of the adults! As we start going into hibernation mode here in the north, the bands are a great way to keep kids moving, and having fun while they’re doing it!
Before we even got together the Clif bars were broken into – and I will admit, it wasn’t just by the kids. The chocolate and peanut butter ones are delicious and have been traveling to work with me as a great filler if I need something in between meals whiles I’m on the go!
There are some basic set up commands you can do with out your computer including choosing the pet for your child, setting the time and even playing some games. This is great if you get it for a gift and you’re not near your computer, because trust me the kids are going to want to play with it as soon as they can! But in order to do the full set up, and the parental controls you will need to log onto your computer.
One of the best features (at least according to the adults) is the customization of the LeapBand. Not only can you set it up with your child’s name and their age/school level, but you can also set the times that are “quiet times”. Quiet times are when they are in school, or when they’re suppose to be sleeping. That way they wont set it off while they’re in class, and disrupt other activities when they’re not suppose to.
The LeapBand is designed for ages 4-7 and is water resistant so if it gets splashed while they wash their hands it will be ok. But since it’s for younger kids, the arm band is only made to fit small wrists.
The LeapBand makes it so much fun for them to get up, get moving and stay healthy and fit! Add in those delicious Clif Z bars and they’re set for a day of fun. But get ready to have Frogs, Turtles, Monkeys and Birds running around your house! It’ll keep them busy and having fun and healthy along the way!
