V-tech V.Smile Baby: Noah s Ark Animal Adventures User manual

User’s Manual

Dear Parent,
At VTech®, we know that there is nothing more special than watching your baby
discover something new for the rst time. These moments become even more
rewarding when you see your baby share and smile in the excitement of these
important discoveries. That is why VTech®created the V.Smile BabyInfant
Development System, a unique grow-with-me development system designed
especially for the youngest learners aged 9 to 36 months. The learning grows as
your baby grows!
The V.Smile BabyInfant Development System combines a baby-friendly
wireless activity panel, age-appropriate curriculum, entertaining images, and
fun early learning activities into a unique experience for babies and parents to
share together. The V.Smile BabyInfant Development System engages even
the littlest learner with three grow-with-me play modes: Play Time, Watch &
Learn, and Learn & Explore. Babies go from playing with the activity panel,
to watching educational videos complete with baby sign language, to directing
their own play on the TV screen by choosing subjects they want to learn.
As part of the V.Smile BabyInfant Development System, VTech®offers a
library of Baby Smartridges based on popular children’s environments that
engage and invite your baby to play and discover. Each Baby Smartridge
features a variety of learning activities, baby sign language, ‘grow-with-me’
play, and lovable characters to guide your baby on a learning journey.
“V.Smile Babyextends the classic activity center into an interactive,
enriching educational experience for infants and toddlers especially when
played with a loving adult,” says Dr. Lise Eliot, neuroscientist and author
of What’s Going on in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First
Five Years of Life.
“The traditional activity center, which includes different shapes, colors and
sounds, will captivate your baby, while the interchangeable Baby Smartridges
will reduce boredom and introduce your child to a variety of important early-
learning concepts and vocabulary.”
At VTech®, we are proud to provide parents with a sensory-rich learning tool for
their little ones. Tapping into a baby’s natural curiosity, creativity and passion for
learning, VTech® makes every encounter an opportunity for discovery. We thank
you for trusting VTech® with the important job of helping your child grow.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at VTech®
