And the update is……I have no updates! Lol. Sort of. The other day, I posted about a free app from Leap Pad, if you registered and set up your Leap Pad by 12/22. This was something I got in an email from Leap. I did actually register ours and get it set up on that date, but was unable to find the free app on the website–and this was after clicking through the email they sent me.

 
Anyway, I have now emailed them twice and have not heard back. I did let them know I was a blogger–not in an obnoxious “Hey, I’m a blogger so give me what I want or I’ll bash you on my blog” sort of way. More of a “Hey, I know that I have lots of readers who also were unable to locate this free app and are interested” sort of way. So hopefully we’ll hear something soon and they’ll honor it, even though it is now past the date.
 
In the meantime, I’ve been shopping around, and it appears that there are very few places to get these apps–Leap, of course, and Amazon and Toys R Us. Right now Toys R Us has the games at Buy one, get one 50% off. These things don’t seem to be discounted that much, so 25% off is a good price. I think we’re going to get the Cars one, not sure what else.
 
And here are some games and accessories to check out from Amazon. ETA: Please read the comment that a reader left, as to where she found the app. It’s still not showing up for me :( but I’ll keep trying!

Leap Pad: code for apps & games

My boys are really enjoying the Leap Pad. I did have a small case of buyer’s remorse, but it’s gone. They really like it and are playing with it, so I’m glad we got one. However, I am a bit disappointed with the um, lack of stuff it came with. Even with the bundle I got, it’s pretty bare bones–just a few games and stuff.  My younger son was very happy to find Cars on it, but it’s not really a game or anything–it’s just a preview of what Cars stuff you can buy for it (insert huge eye roll here). After I pay $150 for something, it kinda irks me that it comes with commercials installed on it.

 
Anyway, we’ve registered it on the Leap site and are taking a look around. That link, which is from savings.com, (same as the one if you click the photo) should give you 5%-20% off Leap games & apps, depending on which one. Then, try using the code SOLSTICE to get another 15% off. I haven’t tried to stack the codes yet, so not sure if it will work. Hopefully!

Leap Pad: FREE app today only + set up before Christmas morning!

I’m battling a terrible sinus infection, and yesterday finally went to the doctor. Actually, not the doctor, the CVS Minute Clinic, but I digress. When I got home, there was a plain, brown box sitting by my garage door. The return address was Leap. After all I went through to get the darn thing, this was very anti-climatic. Just a lonely brown box, sitting there. I felt like there should have been a marching band in my driveway to present it to me or something. But it was raining yesterday, maybe that’s why there was no marching band.

 
Anyway, I purchased mine directly from the Leap website, so those of you that didn’t you may not know this–it requires set up! Gah, yes it does! If you just wrap it as is, and put it under the tree–when they open it, they won’t be able to play with it right away. You have to register it, charge it and so on. And, think about it–if lots of families don’t find this out until Christmas morning, their website may be overwhelmed too. Do yours asap!
 
Today only–if you set yours up, you’ll get a free app called Alphabet Stew. I guess it’s an incentive to get people to load them up early. I plan on doing ours today, will update this if I find anything cool. Now that I actually have it, it looks fun and I’m excited for my boys to try it out. My buyer’s remorse has dissipated.
