Dear Parent,
At VTech®we know that children have many different learning styles.
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 explore the exciting 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®
