thing and needs to be developed and nurtured. That’s why we created

teaching vital preschool concepts such as the alphabet, numbers,

shapes, colors and objects.

Through the use of unique technology and engaging child-directed

role-play scenarios, Winnie the Pooh

characters magically come

to life to guide children through learning activities. These engaging

characters foster children’s critical reasoning skills, enhance their

fi ne motor skills and engage them in exciting role-play activities for

endless hours of learning fun.

At VTech

, we know that a child has the ability to do great things.

That’s why all of our electronic learning products are uniquely

best of their ability. We thank you for trusting VTech® with the
