MomSelect and Leap Frog sponsored a Leap Frog Touch Magic party in my home this past weekend. We had a blast playing games and using the brand new Touch Magic Rockin’ Guitars and Touch Magic Learning Bus! We had about 15 kids over with their ages ranging from three to ten-years-old. As you can probably imagine it was quite a hectic scene, but once everyone got settled we were able to play some exciting new games.

The festivities started with traditional games such as “duck duck goose”, “hot potato”, and “leaping chairs” . The games were followed by pizza and a delicious cookie cake!  After everyone was stuffed we finally brought out the brand new toys. The kids could hardly contain themselves! The older children (aged from 4-7) seemed more interested in the Touch Magic Learning Guitars. With virtually no instruction, they were able to quickly teach themselves how to use the guitar. The guitar allowed the kids to be creative because it offers a wide variety of songs for you to play along with! Some of these songs on this instrument include: Itsy Bitsy Spider, The Alphabet Song, If your Happy and You Know It and Pop Goes the Weasel. You can also play solo and choose between acoustic and electric sounds. Various buttons make other fun noises such as drum sounds and applause.

The little ones (aged 3-4) were much more engaged with the Touch Magic Learning Bus. The bus allows kids to learn their ABCs by playing along to songs. They can use six piano keys and two drum keys to play along with songs such as The Wheels on the Bus and much more. The Touch Magic Learning Bus is a great product that teaches kids fundamental learning skills. More importantly, both the Touch Magic Rockin’ Guitar and Touch Magic Learning Bus held up great against a full frontal assault. Neither product broke nor malfunctioned during this party where several children were attempting to play with them at once.  Not only did this product excite the children, but it was able to keep their attention for more then two minutes, which is always a huge plus! It taught the children simple problem solving skills and core concepts such as trial and error.

Each and every child had a chance to play with both products throughout the duration of the party. Overall, the Touch Magic Learning Guitars were the party favorite. We came up with new games such as Karaoke sing along with the Touch Magic Learning Bus and our own version of Simon Says. When playing Simon Says a child would play a short version of a guitar solo and another child would then have to replicate it (the kids were too young for this game because apparently there is no such thing as a “short guitar solo” when you’re a rock star).  Both products were deemed very educational and seemed extremely durable. The kids couldn’t keep their hands off the products from the moment that we brought them into the living room. Moms also gave the nod of approval due to the products’ inexpensive price range and educational value.
