VTech 80-178260 Drill and Learn Toolbox

Dear Parent,

Ever notice the look on your baby’s face when they learn something new through their own discovery? These self-accomplished moments are a parent’s greatest reward. To help fulfill them, VTech® created the Infant Learning® series of toys.

These unique interactive learning toys directly respond to what children do naturally – play! Using innovative technology, these toys react to baby’s interactions, making each play experience fun and unique as they learn age- appropriate concepts like ﬁrst words, numbers, shapes, colors and music. More importantly, VTech®’s Infant Learning® toys develop babies’ mental and physical abilities by inspiring, engaging, and teaching.

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 important job of helping your child learn and grow!

Sincerely,

Your friends at VTech®
