I think this is a winner! Since getting an iPad2 and having to share it with DD, I’ve been looking for something that would be similar for just her to use. Voila Leapfrog saves the day with this fantastic new leappad. It is fully loaded with a still camera, video camera, microphone, durable shell and large, brilliant screen. The download on Mac for Leapfrog Connect was quick and easy (5 minutes.)

Our kids got these as gifts and they love them (4 and 5yrs). The interface is very kid friendly. They love the stylus and how it controls all the features. The best game to start with is the Mr. Pencil Saves Doodleberg, as it teaches how to use the stylus and also basic things the LeapPad can do. I would definitely pick this over an iPad for young kids due to simply misdirection with the iPads. They tend to take kids out of apps to get them to buy more things (ie in app purchases). With the LeapPad only the parents can buy additional material unless your child knows how to use a computer.

(Thanks, Tina!)

    Had it in my cart and went to check out and it was gone 🙁

    • Megan

      Does anyone know how long this sale runs and if there will be more of these in stock before the sale ends? Other websites allow you to sign up for email notification when an item comes back into availability. Does Kmart offer this option?
      LOTS of questions! I searched the website and even tried online chatting with a cust service rep and didn’t get any answers.
      Thanks!

    • Laura

      Just went and picked up the one I bought at the store. While you won’t get the 10% off they are $39.99 in stores and my store had like 10 on the shelf.

  2. steph

    Got one…. now I’m wondering how expensive it will be to get games, etc. Any tips/suggestions???

    • Ketsy

      Waiting it out and having money set aside for it! There was a weekend about a month ago that Toys R Us had them on sale and then one day BOGO50OFF and they both applied… got them under $14. Sometimes they go BOGO but also black friday or preholiday sale. Titles that are older get clearanced out at Target from $10-$15. Keep you eyes open.

      • Brandy

        Good tip Ketsy! Although this was a good price, I held out too.

    • Laura

      My niece got 1 last year…games can range from $10 up…depends if u can find them on sale. I have however gotten her the $20 app card and she was able to get SEVERAL apps through the website. She liked that option better.

    • Lindsey Kelley

      Target will have the games for $15 black friday. Recently at my local Kroger I saw $5 coupons on frosted Cheerios boxes.

  3. Ashleigh

    Be sure to check all of the stores in your area… the Kmart closest to me did not have it, but one about 15 mins away did have it. Don’t give up! They are out there. 🙂

  4. steph

    I see age range is older but wondering if my 1.5 year old will be able to play too?

    • Marlena

      i think she/he will be too small to play with it . I have a 2.5 yet old , she is great with my iPhone but I’m not sure if she is old enough to play games on iPad .

      • Jenny

        My son started using my Kindle fire at age one. You’d be suprised how fast they catch on! Just try to limit the time they play with them. I aim for 1 hour for the entire day.

  5. Nicole

    Thank you so much for posting this!!! My dd has been asking for one for six months and she’ll be pumped to open it for Christmas!!

  6. Mary

    I was hoping to price @ kohls online but they only have the bundle pack… Darn

  7. Tanya

    Had one and booted from my cart. Kmart is famous for this!

  8. amy

    can u price match at target

    • Lisa O

      Yes, I just called

  9. Laura

    Got one! Yay! Had it sent to the store for free pick up and just got text it was ready for pick up. Going to get it now! Thanks for posting!!

  10. Emily

    AARRGGHHH….sick I missed out on this. Was hoping to get one of these for my daughter for Christmas. That was an awesome price. Hopefully it will go on sale again. Better luck next time!

    • amy

      see if ur target will price match it. mine is

    • Julie

      Walmart just did a price match for me!

      • cheyanne howell

        how did you get them to price match? Was it the kmart deal in a paper ad as well?

  11. Terah

    My order was cancelled and no one can tell me why…..it’s a great deal, but the customer service is awful! I’ve talked to 2 customer service reps and on the phone with the store now. 🙁 Anyone else have a cancelled order?

    • Steph

      How did u find out it was cancelled? Did u ship or do pick up?

      • Terah

        I choose in store pick up.

    • Ashley

      Hmmmm….maybe you ordered the last one the same time as someone else? I chose in store pick up and I just got an email saying that my order is ready for pick up. I ordered within 10 minutes of Collin posting this deal.

  12. Stacey F

    Just received an email that my order was cancelled with no further explanation. 🙁

  13. amy

    i called my target they have in stock and they said they would match kmarts online price as long as i could show it. so maybe if u have target near u i would call and see if u can do the same.

    • Terah

      Thank you! I called my local Target and they matched kmarts price! I <3 Target!

  14. Julie

    Just left Walmart, they price matched three for me!

    • Leah

      Did you just show the online price?

    • Stacey F

      What did you have to show them for proof of price Julie?

      • Stacey F

        Mine got cancelled is because I was on the tail end of a bunch of orders that came through at the same time and they are out of stock now. My local Target won’t price match Kmart online pricing.

        • Leah

          On walmart.com it says they do not honor internet price

        • Laura

          I don’t know how you can prove it to price match but at my kmart store they were $39.99 in stock….just got back from there.

      • Julie

        I just showed the Kmart site from my iPhone. I also took a picture of the ad online if you need the picture. My Walmart didn’t care at all, didn’t ask any questions at all.

        • Sarah

          Please, please send me the picture. My son wants this so bad and this is the only way we can afford it. 🙁 admin@crestedlady.com

      • Julie

        My iPhone. I also took a picture of the ad before it said sold out if anyone wants it.

        • chrystie

          i don i finally went to order it and expired. please can u email it to crazec913@aol.com thank you

        • nialya

          Would love the picture as well if you wouldn’t mind. nialya.suarez at Gmail dot com. Thanks so much!!

          • Natalie

            Would you also e-mail me the picture? I’d like to try to find a store that will price match. Thanks a bunch! natalie.steckel(at)yahoo(dot)com

          • Ana

            If you wouldn’t mind sending it to me as well I would greatly appreciate it! mauilana2002@yahoo.com

          • Angela

            Hi all I never received a screenshot but I got these just now on amazon for $59.99 not bad green and pink

        • Laura

          would you mind sending me your screen shot please? i’ve been looking all over and I might as well try to price match! ctr42@hotmail.com Thanks!

    • Carie

      You guys are lucky they price matched! I have called 2 Targets and 2 Wal Marts and all said no.

      • Carie

        Finally went to a WalMart and they priced matched!

        • Tiffany

          Carrie When did you go and what did you take? I would love to get this for my little one.

  15. Tara

    I placed order around 1:30 central time…..no email cancellation yet. I wonder if it’s only a matter of time? Anyone order around that time and already have their order cancelled?

    • Michelle

      I ordered around 1:20 eastern time, no cancellation yet, fingers crossed.

      • Tara

        I hope we both get our orders!! Keep me updated if yours gets cancelled and I’ll do the same for you! Thx!

        • Tara

          i just got a shipment notification!!! Guess mine went through!

          • Jenny

            Got my shipment notification to! YAY!

  16. shayna

    My order was cancelled too 🙁 so disappointed!!

    • Michelle

      What time did u order? Store pick up or shipped?

      • Megan

        I ordered at 2:46 using store pick up and I just got an email that my order is ready about ten mins ago.

  17. shayna

    Store pick up around 145-2pm

  18. Nikki

    Just got back from Target, they price matched for me!!!

  19. Kathleen D.

    just got back from my target. They weren’t going to price match but they did! So happy! Never would have bought if it weren’t for this great price. And i got the last one!

  20. Michelle

    Got a shipment notice! !! Woohoo!!

  21. Ketsy

    I made three orders the first at 1:12 pm EST and the other at 1:37 and the third at 2:27 pm. They were shipped to home and the second has shipped, other two pending.

    • Ketsy

      Just received! All my orders shipped! Woohoo!
      If Kmart has made a mistake with me this past year… they are forgiven! lol
      The shopyourway rewards and shipping so worth it!

  22. Ketsy

    Not to be a debbie downer. I’m always doubtful when items are for store pick up. Employees can see the sale price, cancel your order and buy it themselves. Example; Toys R Us $5 diaper sale. Just saying.

  23. Ashley

    I put my order in around 12:15pm CST and picked it up about an hour ago. The girl working thought it was so odd b/c right after she got my order together another one came for the same thing :p They must not get many gopher orders, lol.

  24. Kat

    I put in an order around 1:15pm EST and just got a shipment confirmation!

  25. Kelly

    Thank you so much Collin! I was able to get my twins one each! Soooo excited!

  26. chrystie

    yes was wondering the same thing what did u show for a price match

  27. andrea

    Collin! These are $39.99 in stores too!! At my store now and they are marked!!

  28. Colleen

    Just got shipping confirmation! So excited for my girls!

  29. Rebecca

    Just got a price match at Walmart, but boy is that place difficult!!

  30. cheyanne howell

    Can someone please tell me how they got the price match at another store??

    • Dealseeker

      My target said to bring in my smartphone and show them the online price. But when I got there the clerk I had said they had to pull it up to verify so he looked on his phone. If you don’t have a smart phone they said you can print off the page from the computer showing the price and bring it to the store.

    • Lisa O

      Target customer service said as long as she can find the sale price online or I show her she will price match for me, gonna head there soon!

      • cheyanne howell

        I just talked to Target and they said none of their stores have the leap pad 1. They have the one with the free gel skin but none without to price match 🙁 let me know how it goes 🙂 Ive been on the phone for the last hour with Kmart and Target! UGH I hope I can get one!!

        • Lisa O

          I just got back from target they did it! Online it said they only had ones with cases but in store they had plain one and I got it no problems.

  31. Dealseeker

    My target pricematched for me! Awesome deal!

    • Cheyanne

      What target? What did you say?

      • amy

        My target did too. I called and asked if they had one in stock and if they price match online. He said as long as I brought in a printed ad of the leappad from Kmart they would price match it.

  32. karleen howard

    Dont forget to use your shop your reward points for an even beter deal!!!

  33. Emily

    I got my order shipment confirmation! I bought two but DH is now saying that he doesnt think that YDS is really old enough so I guess I will be selling one. If anyone is really wanted one for the holidays you can email me at e_estey at yahoo dot com.

    • Cheyanne

      I emailed you Emily

  34. Robbin

    Went to my local KMart & they are not marked in the store but rang up for the sale price! Yeah!!! Awesome Christmas gift!

  35. Robbin

    Went to my local KMart & they are not marked in the store but rang up for the sale price! Yeah!!! Awesome Christmas gift!

  36. Irene G

    Just got back from my Kmart and purchased two right off the shelf . Not marked but rang up the sale price. And they come with a 35.00 app credit…

  37. Irene G

    I purchased two of these over the summer at full price… At that time, I found two codes for free apps. Not sure it they are still available or valid, but worth checking. Just google….

  38. Cheyanne

    I got 1 I got 1 at Walmart in Federal Way Washington!

  39. Clarissa

    Ok, so I ordered from kmat at 3:30, confirmation email it went thru, then still no email saying ready for pick up. I called at 6 and lady said they are out of stock and had to cancel a few orders. I still have not gotten cancelation or verification email but the transaction already went thru.
    Thoughts? Do I give up? This would havr been perfect!

  40. Shannon

    My Target in Knoxville, TN had a few left. They price matched using my iPhone, although she was suppose to look it up using their tablet. Price matched at $39.99 and I used a $10 gift card from a diaper deal last week. Also used myTarget card to save 5%. Then I realized I had $3.60 on another Target gift card, so I went back to get the gel skin. When I got up to the register the cashier checked some coupons and noticed there was a Leap Pad coupon, said my purchase had to be higher. I told her she could put the gel skin in my bag with the Leap Pad. She asked if I had used the coupon, and I explained I price matched so probably wouldn’t be a high enough purchase. She insisted on my receipt…. and then handed me back $5!!!! So I was able to get the Leap Pad and gel skin for $34!!!! Thank you for posting and thanks to all your readers for the price match reminder! ASK for the coupons at Target!

    • Natalie

      What was the coupon?

      • SavvyShopper

        I’m not sure… she just had a piece of paper, looks like it had been printed off from the computer for different toys… I didn’t even think to ask!

  41. Michelle

    I just got an email saying that my order shipped!! Yay!!!! Thank you so much Collin!!! (and Tina!!)

  42. Lucky

    Thanks so much my order shipped too my daughter would be so excited 🙂

  43. ruthie

    Can someone please tell me what they are showing to price match? When I click on the link it does not show a price, it just says the item is not available. Thank you!! ruthiekimmons@att.net

    • cheyanne howell

      When I was on kmart.com and searched the leap pad 1 and clicked on the green one, it should say 39.99 as long as you dont try and add it to your cart, then it will just say sold out ect. I would try to close out of kmart.com and try again??

  44. Amber

    My store was out but they gave me a rain check.

  45. Lupita

    I tried to purchase it around 8 pm and it said it was in stock for store pickup but right when I was about to place the order the price would go up to $79.99. I went to the store right at 9:45 and was able to get the last one on the shelf. Made my day. My 2 year old will be do excited. I love Leap Frog! He is 2 1/2 and know most of his letters and sounds.

  46. robyn

    since this deal is dead i probably won’t get an answer but…. i went to the store at some people’s suggestion and it rang up the sale price (even though when i tried to order it online it said out of stock). my question is the box didn’t say leappad1. it just said leappad explorer. is there a difference? either way i was pretty happy.

    • Ashley

      Same thing 🙂

    • SavvyShopper

      It’s the same thing…. there is no “1” on the box, just explorer. the Leap Pad 2 has the actual 2. Hope that helps! 🙂

      • robyn

        thank you ladies, it does help!

  47. Couponing with Rachel

    Explorer is a different type of game.

  48. Carie

    My store gave me a rain check, said they “are supposed to call” me but said it doesn’t always happen. Guess I’ll be calling them every day. ; ) I’m very disappointed that Target and WalMart can’t seem to be consistent on the price matching too. None of my stores will do it.

  49. Andrea

    I went to Target and they said they don’t price match Kmart.com! 🙁 And it’s not in the Kmart printed add so they wouldn’t do it.

  50. Heather Jones

    Can any one email me the picture of the ad saying it was $49.99 before it went to out of order. Going to try to get Wal-mart or Target to price match. I had it in my cart yesterday and was putting in my credit card info when it kicked it out of my cart. Called customer service but they weren’t any help:( hbear0425@yahoo.com
