User’s Manual

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-round learning.
