    If kids like to do what their parents do, they'll soon have their own wearable exercise device like dads or moms, or both! LeapFrog, who makes all kinds of educational toys and tablets, previewed the LeapBand at a press event on May 1st, 2014. The LeapBand is a wearable activity tracker aimed at kids in the 4 to 7 year age bracket. The LeapFrog spokesperson said the apps and games  are designed to encourages active play and healthy habits. There are games built into the LeapBand with many more available online. I asked, and yes, he said the different games and challenges are free. Parents can monitor their children's activities and select challenges. LeapBand should  be available in August, in three kid colors: pink, green and blue. MSRP is $39.99.
