TheO SmartBall Giveaway - Make Learning Easy and Fun!

Learning Made Fun

I am so excited to be hosting TheO SmartBall Giveaway - one of the hottest award-winning toys this holiday season! The winner of the giveaway will receive one TheO SmartBall (retail value $39.95). This educational and entertaining ball is for kids preschool to 5th grade. 

My kids and I had the opportunity to try out TheO Smartball and we gave it two thumbs up! It's a blast, especially with the app learning games! 

There are 8 free apps total to download and others available for purchase. We downloaded several free apps. Me being the frugal mom had to test it out before investing in more apps. There wasn't an app that my kids didn't have a blast playing with. My 10 year old daughters favorite was the Hot Potato app, while my three year olds favorite was Sing & Dance and ABC app. As for my 10 and 11 year old boys, they enjoyed throwing and tossing the ball around faster and faster to see how fast the songs could go on the app. I loved that it provided them with a really good workout! 

Overall this is one of the best toys for kids. It's educational! It's fun! And it allows them to get some physical exercise in while learning!

Below is a little bit more about TheO Smartball:

• Dr. Toy's annual guide – One of the 100 Best Children’s Products of 2014
