The Kick & Score Playgym and Turn & Learn Ferris Wheel are available at retailers nationwide. The 3-in-1 Starry Skies Sleep Soother and Animal Rhymes Music Book are available exclusively at Walmart. Highlights of the newest items include:
VTech Kick & Score Playgym™: Kick up those little tootsies and get active with the Kick & Score Playgym™! Watch your baby achieve motor-skill milestones with a multi-stage play mat and accessories. Start with floor time, kicking at the ball and batting at the giraffe mobile with dangling shapes. Ready for tummy time? Enjoy the colorful characters and the dumbbell rattle, twist-and-click kettle ball, color cards and more while helping your little one strengthen core muscles. Engage kids during seated play with the interactive learning panel that teaches colors, shapes and animals and reinforces language skills. Take the detachable panel along for on-the-go play and exploration. Remove the plush soccer ball and give your toddler an extra goal-scoring challenge. Take a free kick and score! Going to the gym has never been so easy. (Ages birth +)
VTech 3-in-1 Starry Skies Sheep Soother™: Find sleep without counting sheep with the 3-in-1 Starry Skies Sheep Soother™. With three ways to use, this soother includes a projector, glow light and nursery rhyme mode. Soothing lights and sounds set the stage for peaceful rest. Three discs easily attach to the projector to provide a soothing, glowing night-light or two patterns of light effects—and the discs store inside the plush when not in use. Nature sounds, lullabies and melodies create a calming soundscape. Use the volume and timer settings on the projector to choose the volume and how long music, sounds and lights play. Your baby’s cries activate the soother to turn on again, helping them learn to self-soothe. When your little one awakens, switch modes to play five nursery rhymes. Hearing rhyming tales encourages language development in little listeners. When your child is old enough, remove the electronic module to create a cuddly, plush pal. Sleep is sweet with this soothing sheep! Available exclusively at Walmart. (Ages birth +)
VTech Turn & Learn Ferris Wheel™: Little ones can take a spin on the Turn & Learn Ferris Wheel™—no tickets required! Your baby will explore animals, numbers and objects while listening to playful sounds and four sing-along songs. When kids press the friendly yellow lion, black and white zebra and blue elephant buttons they’ll hear the animals introduce themselves, numbers and objects using their own unique voices. See your child light up as they spin the brightly colored wheel around. Each spin plays sounds and songs with three flashing stars to capture their interest. With a suction cup to attach to a highchair tray or smooth surface, the Ferris wheel will stay put so you don’t have to keep picking it up off the floor and it’ll keep wiggly kids entertained. Round and round, up and down, we’re riding on the Ferris wheel. (Ages 6 months +)
VTech Animal Rhymes Music Book™: The Animal Rhymes Music Book™ has so many twists, turns (and slides) that little ones will have a hard time putting it down! Easy-to-turn pages are beautifully illustrated with cute, colorful animals and include interactive play features that kids can move to keep them engaged and entertained. Each page plays a familiar nursery rhyme set to music so everyone can sing along. The flashing star twinkles along with the sounds. Encourage your child to press the colorful instrument buttons to add guitar, triangle, piano, drum and saxophone sounds to the music. The buttons also introduce new vocabulary with the instrument’s name and the color of the button. Extend playtime by choosing between two modes for playful nursery rhymes or cheerful musical responses. Available exclusively at Walmart. (Ages 3 months +)
