Get ‘Em Moving With GeoPalz

By Ellen and Rachel on March 2, 2010

We just came upon this new kiddo gadget that was featured at the American International Toy Fair. Check out this clever pedometer for the smaller set. Your little one can count steps and enter to win prizes by racking up lots of ‘pedpoints’.

From the GeoPalz website:

GeoPalz 
is 
the 
first 
decorative
 activity
 tracker 
and 
online 
game 
that 
allows 
users 
to 
earn 
points 
through 
physical 
activity.
  With
 a
 simple
 message 
of 
“Walk 
to 
Win”, 
activity 
is 
converted 
to 
points 
that 
can 
be 
accumulated
 and
 redeemed
 at 
the 
GeoPalz.com 
website 
for 
free 
activity
 based
 products,
 sports 
equipment, 
games
 and 
educational 
based
 toys.

Our brains are buzzing with ideas for this gizmo.  Count the steps to school or the corner store?  A little friendly sibling rivalry?  Team competitions?  School classroom step contests?
The possibilities are endless.  What a great gift idea!
