Giveaway: IToys ME2 Online/Exercise Gaming System
Have you been looking for an inexpensive alternative to a Nintendo DS or Nintendo Wii for Christmas? Here’s a cool toy you might want to consider. Read a little bit about it, and then enter to win one of two of these toys for your child!
The Itoys Me2 Online/Exercise Gaming System is a handheld electronic gaming system that retails for just $28.88 at Walmart! Yes, you’ll sacrifice some of the cool graphics, but this little gadget is a lot of fun and just might offer some surprising health benefits for your little one at the same time.
The ME2 acts as a kid’s pedometer and healthy lifestyle tracker, all while engaging your child with the functionality of a video game system. It’s about the size of a small cell phone, and your child earns points for wearing it while taking part in physical activity. He or she then uses the points to play the video games. If your child runs out of points, no more video games until he or she exercises to earn additional points!
Kids can create their own avatar which they can customize hundreds of ways and can also purchase items for them using their points online. They can use their character in online play and download new content to their ME2s from the ME2Universe website.
Features:
- Create your own avatar from over 1 million combinations
- Download new games onto your handheld to play on the go
- Full-color LCD screen
- Upload and download capabilities
- Clock and calendar
- The more points you have, the more you can play the game
- Totally customizable
- Includes USB cord and belt clip
- Requires three “AAA” batteries (not included)
My kids had a blast with this toy! My five-year-old son was running around in circles outside just trying to earn enough points to play. I think this is a valid way to teach kids how to balance time spent playing video games with physical activity, a lesson that will hopefully stick with them as they outgrow the ME2.
So would you like to win one of these cool toys? I’ve got not one but two ME2s that I need to find a home for!
Every reader has three methods available to enter this contest. Choose one each of any combination of method one, two, or three, for up to a total of 3 entries!!!
