Introducing Scout's ABC Garden app from Leapfrog (and a giveaway)

Great news! Today Leapfrog is debuting their first-ever app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch! It's called Scout’s ABC Garden, and it's a fun way to help kids learn their letters when they're on the go.

Here's more information about the app (you can also go to leapfrog.com/apps):
Swipe. Tap. Fun!
With the 'Scout's ABC Garden' app kids can explore Scout’s garden by touching and triggering fun and delightful sounds and animations like interactive clouds, bubbles, ticklish gophers, and Scout and Violet’s virtual radio that plays traditional kid-favorite songs. Kids can even rub Scout’s or Violet’s belly to hear a song with their name, or grow their own letter garden.



Other key aspects of the app include:

· A is for Achievement. The app is customized to each child's level of learning, helping every child learn about letters and sounds at his or her own pace.

· B is for Bragging. Alerted when learning happens, proud parents can also share in their child’s learning achievements. With each accomplished goal, not only does the child receive a badge or trophy, but parents are alerted to their child’s achievement which they can then celebrate and share via social channels, including Facebook.

· C is for Customization. A main ingredient of the app’s appeal is its deep level of personalization. With the capacity to hold up to three profiles, a parent can customize the app for different children, including their favorite foods, colors and animals, so each can experience unique gameplay.

The 'Scout's ABC Garden' app is available for $3.99 from the App Store on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, or at www.itunes.com/appstore.



Unfortunately I don't own an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch -- pleeeeze Leapfrog, hurry up with the Android version -- but my loss is your gain! Instead of testing the app, I'm giving it away! Leapfrog has generously provided three downloads of Scout's ABC Garden to give away here.
