Also on September 6(th), LeapFrog is inviting families to host their own Fit Made Fun Day, sharing images and videos across media channels including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Images and videos using the hashtag #FitMadeFun will have the chance to win one of eight prize packages including the new LeapBand activity tracker, LeapFrog's LeapPad3 learning tablet and more.
"I am excited to participate in this great event with kids and families. I know firsthand the challenges we face as parents to get our kids up and active on a regular basis," said Mia Hamm, mom of three young children and official LeapBand spokesperson. "LeapBand helps meet that challenge by encouraging active play and focusing on health, wellness and physical activity, all in a very kid-friendly and engaging way, which is how kids learn best."
"Fit Made Fun Day is the perfect way to celebrate the importance of children getting active and learning healthy habits," said Greg Ahearn, chief marketing officer at LeapFrog. "We are excited to work with incredible partners such as Mia Hamm, Clif Kids, KidzBop and Hip Hop Health to introduce our new LeapBand activity tracker for kids. It is going to be an amazing day at the iconic Santa Monica Beach rallying children and their families as we attempt to become the new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS record holder for some really fun activities!"
Inspired by the Partnership for a Healthier America and First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative, the LeapBand activity tracker gets kids moving and having fun with 50 different challenges, tracking a child's physical moves so the more active a child is, the more points they earn with their virtual pet. As the child earns points through active play, they can unlock additional levels of play and virtual rewards for their on-screen pet. LeapBand has an adjustable wrist strap designed with children in mind, and high-tech features including a built-in accelerometer, a high-resolution color screen, a rechargeable battery and water-resistant design, making it the ultimate activity wearable for kids.
