Dear Parent,

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

vital preschool concepts such as the alphabet, numbers, shapes,

colors and objects.

role-play scenarios, Dora the Explorer friends 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 adventure.

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
