Dear Parent,

At VTech® we know that a child’s imagination is a truly wonderful

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

the Winnie the Pooh electronic learning series™ of interactive

learning toys to stimulate children’s imaginations, while also 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 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 designed

to develop a child’s mind and allow them to learn to the best of their

ability. We thank you for trusting VTech® with the important job of

helping your child learn and grow!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at VTech
