Last weekend as most of the local children were winding down their summer vacations and getting ready for school, which started yesterday, we were gearing up to host a LeapFrog Touch Magic "Rock 'n Learn" Parties, thanks in part to Mom Select, to help both kids and parents squeeze in one last summer hooray. What a blast we had, as we partied into the wee hours of the evening -- well, from 1PM-6PM :-)
As a LeapFrog Touch Magic Party Host, I was sent two Touch Magic Rockin' Guitars, as well as the Touch Magic Learning Bus to share with the party goers. To help make the party a breeze to host, I was also sent branded invites, LeapFrog activity sheets, Touch Magic Master Awards, as well as valuable information to share with parents including product fact sheets, coupons and information about the Rockin' Guitar Video Contest (where you can enter for a chance to win a $500 gift card -- see below for more info and link to enter). Just look at everything I received in the party kit:
The only thing that I had to do was buy cookout food -- hamburgers, hot dogs, rolls, pickles, salad, chips and drinks. I also had Savannah help me make cookies and decorate cupcakes for the party. She felt like a big girl helping Mommy out in the kitchen. And, when the guests came, she also played hostess and offered up these tasty treats to everyone's delight. Look at the cute Back-To-School cupcakes we made for dessert, along with her favorite Minnie Mouse bow sugar cookies (it is not a party unless we have her favorite cookies on the dessert table.)

Teaches the Following Skills:
- Letter names and sounds -- To read independently, children must understand the relationship between the sounds in spoken words and the letters that represent those sounds.
- Early vocabulary -- Children expand their listening vocabulary by matching pictures to words.
- Music -- Making and listening to music can increase a child's creativity as well as support language, math, and physical development.
- Animals -- Even very young children can begin to categorize animals by species, imitate their sounds and learn interesting facts about them.
While the children played with the new LeapFrog Touch Magic products, the adults talked about what we did all summer, as well as what teachers and bus routes the children had. Even though it feels like the summer went by fast, it was nice to get together while the weather was still nice and have fun.
Here are some photos from our great LeapFrog Touch Magic "Rock 'n Learn" Party:
Looks like a great time was had by all! My son would love that guitar, he's really into musical instruments these days. Great that it's not just a toy but also a learning tool!
