User’s Manual

Dear Parent,

At VTech

we know that a child’s imagination is a truly wonderful

thing and needs to be developed and nurtured. That’s why we created

the Thomas & Friends™ learning series of interactive learning

toys to stimulate children’s imaginations, while also teaching vital

preschool concepts such as the letters, numbers, phonics, counting,

vocabulary and music.

Through the use of unique technology and engaging child-directed

role-play scenarios, Thomas & Friends

characters magically come

to life to guide children through learning activities. These engaging

characters foster children’s critical reasoning skills, enhance their

ﬁne motor skills and engage them in exciting role-play activities for

endless hours of learning fun.

At VTech

we know that a child has the ability to do great things.

That’s why all of our electronic learning products are uniquely

designed to develop a child’s mind and allow them to learn to the

best of their ability. We thank you for trusting VTech

with the

important job of helping your child learn and grow!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech
