LeapPad: A Cool Tablet for Kids

If your child reaches for your iPad more than often, it may be time to get them a tablet of their own.

Lucky for you, Leapfrog’s LeapPad ($99) may be just the answer.

Kid-friendly and chock full of apps and activities, it’s perfect for mini hands.

It also features a built-in camera, video recorder and two stylus pens — in case one goes missing.

Plus, it’s compatible with the games from Leapfrog’s Leapster Explorer so you don’t have to buy loads of new ones if you own both.

We also like that you can auto-adjust games to your child’s level and that you can follow your child’s progress online through the company’s learning path software.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale, 3, gives us a grin as Gavin Rossdale carries him into Grandma and Grandpa Stefani’s house on Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The Bush frontman, 46, was quickly followed by wife Gwen Stefani and their elder son Kingston James McGregor, 5½.

“[Zuma] is really into the guitar. If I’m playing he’ll come and jam with me — he’ll sit with me, it’s really fun. He moves his hands up and down. His positioning and charisma are amazing. He’s so relaxed, looks great and he’s 3!” says Rossdale.

Spotted: Jewel’s Son Kase’s Thanksgiving Smiles

It certainly was a happy Thanksgiving in Jewel and Ty Murray‘s house!

The singer posted a photo of her beaming 4-month-old son, Kase Townes, to her WhoSay page, with the caption: “Thought I’d share a pic of the baby taken on Thanksgiving – he is the happiest baby!”

The little guy appears to be growing up fast, seen standing up (with help!) on Turkey Day.

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard are expanding their family.

The actors are expecting their second child together, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The Hysteria star and Green Lantern‘s Sarsgaard, 40, wed in 2009 and are already parents to 5-year-old daughter Ramona.

“I just didn’t have a clue,” Gyllenhaal, 34, has said of motherhood.

“There’s no way to prepare for the challenges, the immense joys, the surprises, the disappointments and the shocks,” she said. “Your heart just rips open. It’s amazing.”
