VTech Toys Bugsby Reading System *Giveaway*


Over the summer the girls received the Bugsby Reading System. At first they didn’t play with it much and it sat there. I finally got it and showed them what they cna do with it, and Sarah’s eyes popped open realizing it was something SHE could do!

And she loves it, every night when I go to tuck her in her bed she is sitting reading with her Bugsby. In fact she keeps it sitting on her night stand.

I think the reason she didn’t use it at first is because she didn’t know about the pen cartridges. I showed her how to put them into the pen and then putting it back into the book. Now she reads with it like a pro.

A few reasons we love Bugsby:
First off, we love the cartridges! No more downloading books to the pen! No more using up the memory on the pen and no more crying that the book doesn’t work with the pen!
Each book has a special slot in the back to hold the pen cartridges!

The only thing I don’t like about Bugsby, is that when we first got it I would find the pen cartridges scattered around the house. But once my girls realized how important it was to keep the cartridge and book together we don’t have that issue anymore.

002

Every touch of our magical pen brings reading to life!

Join Bugsby the Book Worm on a magical reading adventure! Your children will love reading along and interacting with their favorite characters as they build early reading skills. Kids will fall in love with reading as they have fun listening to stories read aloud by their new reading pal, Bugsby. Children build reading skills through play as Bugbsy takes them through reading comprehension, phonics, sentence structure, word recognition and more. Kid friendly in design, the Bugsby Reading System includes software cartridge with every story book title – no additional downloads required!

Here is a video of Sarah reading with Bugsby!

    I love that it comes with a story about “bugsy”. How cute! I actually don’t have children so both of them are going to the local battered woman’s shelter that I volunteer at. I’m a broke college student but I win things in sweepstakes to donate such as clothes, educational books, backpacks. The kids there have so little many have to leave with just the clothes off their backs so being able to give them brand new items is a real treat.
