Dear Parent,
VTech
®
, with the introduction of our V.SMILE POCKET™, offers parents a
fun, healthy alternative to the world of hand-held video games. We know that
children enjoy the “big kid” feeling that comes with owning one’s very own
hand-held system, and we also understand parents’ reluctance to put these
toys into their children’s hands. Children want more independent play as they
get older, and parents want to feel comfortable that this play is providing
healthy, fun and educational benefits to their children.
With V.SMILE POCKET™ – an educational hand-held video game system
designed for 5-8 year-olds –
VTech
®
continues its tradition of providing
unique and fun alternatives to the existing video game systems. The V.SMILE
POCKET™ combines age-appropriate educational content with high-tech
graphics and fun game play to provide a state-of-the-art experience that kids
and parents will both love. Also, V.SMILE POCKET™ can be played both
on-the-go as a hand-held unit, or plugged directly into your TV for a shared,
at-home game play experience.
Both the V.SMILE POCKET™ and the V.SMILE™ TV Learning System
work with the full library of
VTech
®
Smartridges™, each based on popular
children’s characters that engage and encourage your child to play while
learning. The library continues to grow, as
VTech
®
seeks to provide parents
with an almost endless selection of wholesome video games that meet the
individual needs and likes of their children.
At
VTech
®
we are proud to provide you with a much-needed solution to the
video game dilemma, as well as another innovative way for your child to learn
while having fun. We thank you for trusting
VTech
®
, with the important job of
helping your child explore a new world of learning!
Sincerely,
Your Friends at
VTech
