VTech believes that playing is
important for children to learn and
develop. After consulting with our
educational expert panel, we have
developed a wide range of electronic
learning toys that are fun to play
with and expose children to many
important learning opportunities.
At the early stage of development,
growing brains need high-quality
stimulation. Toy cars and tracks
are great playthings because they
engage children in imaginative
play while developing fine motor
skills, mechanical sense and spatial
reasoning. According to our early
brain development expert, Dr. Lise
Eliot, the VTech’s Go!Go! Smart
Wheels
®
and Go!Go! Smart Animals
TM
playsets take the basic play patterns
and enhance them with several
important educational features,
providing lots of fun opportunities for
young children to play creatively and
flex their mental muscles. Especially in
the era of tablets and smart phones,
toddlers and preschoolers need to get
their hands on real, three-dimensional
playthings to learn about concepts
like weight, texture and force. By
adding voices and SmartPoint
®
electronic features, these playsets
combine the best of both learning
opportunities – active play and
verbal interaction – to promote the
strengthening of brain connections
involved in movement, language,
emotions, creativity, problem-solving
and other skills.
The Perfect Playsets for your kids –
Go!Go! Smart Family
The Go!Go! Smart Family collection
stimulates the imagination and
encourages creativity with colourful,
interactive playsets. Each playset
includes a variety of tracks that easily
snap together and connect to other
Go!Go! Smart Animals and Go!Go!
Smart Wheels to create an entire world
of Go!Go! Smart Family. Children can
drive SmartPoint vehicles or animals
over SmartPoint locations found on
the playsets and watch the vehicles or
animals respond with phrases, music
and lights while teaching cause and
effect, first words, letters, etc.
Children can also get to build the
track, manipulating individual track
pieces into varying configurations,
like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.
Then they get to pull, push, haul,
dump, tow, fly and more using the
various vehicles. Cars can go up,
down and around the interesting
track—allowing complex, three-
dimensional movements that teach
physical principles far better than all
the two-dimensional screens games.
All of these movements and fine
motor practice help teach children
about gravity, momentum, friction
and other physical principles in a fun
and engaging way.

The best outdoor companion for
your kids – Kidizoom
®
Action Cam
VTech has developed its first
Kidizoom Action Cam, which allows
children taking indoor or outdoor
photos and videos in a more creative
and enjoyable manner. It can go
anywhere and do anything children
can do with two included mounts
so they can attach it to a bike,
skateboard and more. It also comes
with waterproof case so they can
take videos and pictures up to six feet
underwater. The Action Cam can take
regular videos and photos in addition
to stop-motion videos and time-
lapse photos. The children can also
explore their creativity with fun effects,
frames and photo filters. They can
download their photos and videos to
a computer using the included micro-
USB cable and share them with family
and friends. They can also play three
exciting learning games.
Apart from meeting all the quality,
environmental and safety measures,
the light and durable design of this
Action Cam can extend the product
life cycle with its rechargeable battery.
Additionally, with the expandable
memory feature, children will not
miss their precious moments while
growing up.
