Dear Parent:
AtVTech®,weknowthatchildrenhavemanydifferentlearningstyles.
While some children respond to more structured instruction, others learn
best through imaginative role-play. That’s why we created Learning
Adventures™ – a line of entertaining learning products where fun-filled
play comes first, and learning comes to life in thematic, 3D
environments.
Learning Adventures™ is a revolutionary way for children to learn,
immersing them in an imaginative hands-on adventure. Children
can direct the play and control the learning, creating a motivating
environment. In all products, fundamental curriculum is seamlessly
integrated into the play. Children will be having so much fun, they
won’t even notice that these toys are teaching too! As they expand
their imaginations, children will develop age-appropriate skills
ranging from language development and problem solving to
communication and social skills — all while building strong
self-confidence.
Products in the Learning Adventures™ line also have charming
characters that act as coaches, helping your child exploretheexciting
world of learning. These characters encourage children to take on new
learning challenges, guide them through activities and provide
positive reinforcement for a job well done.
Learning Adventures™ products also incorporate advanced
technologies that bring these characters to life, while encouraging a
hands-on, multi-sensory approach to learning.
At VTech®, we are committed to creating fun learning toys that foster
a child’s intellectual and social development. We thank you for
trusting VTech®with the important job of helping your child do great
things!
Sincerely,
Your Friends at VTech®
