Dear Parent,
We at VTech understand that a child's needs and abilities change as they grow
and with that in mind we can develop our toys to teach and entertain at just the
right level. Babies need toys that will stimulate their interest in different
textures, sounds and colours, while on-the-go toddlers and pre-schoolers
want more interactive toys to develop their imaginations and encourage
their language development. As they progress to more challenging
curriculum at school, VTech keeps pace with a wide variety of cool,
aspirational and interesting computers for learning. Every toy is unique and
helps your child develop in different ways for the best all-around learning.
