Leap Frog Zippity Learning System Review
December 2, 2009 Posted by The Healthy Hen
Christmas is coming and we hope Santa brings the Disney Leap Frog Zippity Learning System to our house. Think of a child’s version of the Nintendo Wii, with a game mat and some education mixed in with the fun. We had the opportunity to review the Zippity Learning System this weekend, and had a blast! Like all Leap Frog products, there is an educational component to the Zippity, coupled with a variety of games that the kids can have a lot of fun with.

Now Closed: “Do Good” Challenge Giveaway: Petz Prize Package for Nintendo DS
November 16, 2009 Posted by The Hens
This week, we’re combining our weekly “Do Good” Challenge with a giveaway. It’s kind of a Give-and-Get Challenge. Just help us help the ASPCA and we’ll enter you for chance to win one of ten Petz Prize Packages for the Nintendo DS worth over $120. Our friends at Ubisoft have announced that they have teamed up with the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and Honor Society, a New York based pop band, to celebrate the launch of their new Petz® games with Sharing and Caring Month. In support of ASPCA’s mission to teach kids about kindness to animals, the Petz video games for the Nintendo DS system, including Petz Nursery, will allow young players to care for and bond with a variety of virtual “petz.”
The Petz Caring portion of the program will feature the ASPCA in the Petz Cause House on UbiWorld (Ubisoft’s online extension for the Petz® video game). Inside the virtual Petz Cause House, kids and their parents can play a variety of Petz mini-games and earn “pointz” to show their support for the ASPCA in protecting animals. Beginning today through January 4, 2010, the total number of “pointz” that visitors earn will be announced weekly in the Cause House explaining to kids how their accumulated points are helping animals. To further support teaching kids about responsible pet care, Ubisoft’s Petz will donate funds directly to the ASPCA.
