Last week my youngest's LeapPad somehow ended up in a full sink of hot soapy dish water.
We are not quite sure how long it had been in there but by the time my hubby noticed it was in there it was well and truly soaked.
My first thought was .... "well that's the end of that".
But I had to at least try and save this most loved possession.

It looks like the issues.
We have all been having with being unable to connect to the rewards

My nephew bought this game for my daughter (5) for Christmas.
It was my first choice for her. She had started to learn basic addition and subtraction last year in Grade 0 and was showing a lot of interest in maths, added to which she loves TinkerBell.
