The VTech® Discovery Tree™ is an interactive ball toy for toddlers 9 months and up. The VT ech® Discovery Tree™ uses magical recognition technology to make learning fun! Children can play and learn all by themselves. By dropping a ball into the tree, they choose a new subject. They’ll learn numbers, letters, colors, sounds and music. And they’ll learn even more when they use the pop-it-up paddle to pop the balls back up the tree, again and again for more learning fun!
