Scoop and Learn Ice Cream Cart could
help children develop different skills,
while learning their favourite ice cream
flavors. By slotting in the smart learning
cards into the cash register, the little
cart would give out simple visual and
audio instructions for children to learn
and place the correct ice-cream scoops
into the cone in the right order.

Along with the serving counter, children
could also add the tasty toppings for
their customers. This toy set gives the
opportunities for the children to build
their memory, develop their listening
skills and simple motor skills and learn
to be patient through role play. Once
the children open their shop, they could
also learn the responsibility for running
the shop.

We recognise that playing is important
for children to learn and develop.
Young children could learn how to
communicate easily through playing
creatively with toys, games and
anything they can get hold of. It is a
very important channel to develop
their language skills and express
their feelings. Through creative play,
children will also learn to recognise and
empathise other people’s feeling, to
appreciate and respect other people.
After consulting our educational
expert panel, we have developed a
wide range of electronic learning toys
that are fun to play with and provide
children with many important learning
opportunities.
On 4 April 2016, VTech has completed

and development of children around
the world.
