My lucky little boy is getting a Kindle fire for Christmas and my 3yr old daughter is going to be sooo jealous but I didn’t think it would be fair to dissuade her from her “baby” stuff (clothes, high chair etc). I just know when Santa brings her big brother his present there will be many tears and tantrums so this would be perfect for her.

Would love to win as my daughter loves to practice writing, playing games and always pinching my phone to take pictures.

I think it is important that our children learn to be tech savvy as early as possible. The LeapPad 2 looks like it would be great for both Roo and Tigger to use, enjoy and learn from

I would love this for my 5 year old daughter. She loves learning and really enjoys school. The first thing she does when she gets home is her homework. This would be ideal for her as they have a lot of educational games that would keep her entertained for hours.

I would love to win this as a gift for my (step) grandson, I love the fact that they can feel grown up, but it also has so many educational pluses! Then when he grows out of it in a couple of years he can pass it on to his uncle- my baby son!!

We would love to win simply as we have a first generaton Leap Pad (Kayleigh received it from santa) however Ethan would love his own one as he plays his sisters all the time when she lets him!

I would love to win this for my oldest daughter. We’ve had a tough year financially and she’s had a tough year emotionally with two brand new baby sisters on the horizon. She’s been such a good big sister, learning to share mummys time and love. I’d love to reward her with an awesome Christmas present like this and it would take the worry out of how we will afford to get her big present this year.
She loves reading, writing and learning… all the time! She also loves taking photos, because she sees me taking pics of EVERYTHING! xx

I’d love to win this as my little boy keeps stealing my iPad, which I need for work. If he could have his own tablet I may actually get to use my own once in a while

I would love to give my 2 year old son his own computer so daddy could have his iPad back!
