Dear Parent,

We at 

VTech

 understand that a child's needs and abilities change as they grow and with 

that in mind we can develop our toys to teach and entertain at just the right level. Babies 
need toys that will stimulate their interest in different textures, sounds and colours, 
while on-the-go toddlers and pre-schoolers want more interactive toys to develop 
their imaginations and encourage their language development. As they progress to 
more challenging curriculum at school, 

VTech

 keeps pace with a wide variety of cool, 

aspirational and interesting computers for learning. Every toy is unique and helps your 
child develop in different ways for the best all-round learning.
