On the second day of Christmas, Bonggamom gives to thee...a Didj

Today I'm giving away a Leapfrog Didj to one lucky reader. And I do mean lucky, because my kids really love them some Didj. It's Leapster's latest and greatest toy, fusing learning and gaming. Just like the Leapster2, (I like to think of the Leapster2 as the Didj's younger sibling) , kids can play games featuring popular characters. The games incorporate math, reading and spelling, and parents can check on their kids' learning progress via the Leapfrog Learning Path.

Get $10 off the Didj for a limited time at the Leapfrog store. Or get one free by joing the giveaway below.

The coolest feature of the Didj? It allows kids to personalize their gaming experience -- they can customize the display color scheme and even the appearance of the characters playing the games. Playing with the Didj earns them points that they can redeem online for even more ways to personalize their gaming experience (like new boxing gloves for Spongebob or a special victory dance for Obi Wan Kenobi). We actually got our Didj in September, but I've waited ages to review it because the online points feature (Micromods, they call it) was not up and running at that point. I knew it would be strong selling point for my kids: it keeps them going back again and again to the Didj -- because the personalized features keep it interesting, and the points earning system gives them an incentive to play.
