Singing cars, light-up baby walkers and lilting books: these are classics from Vtech. Seven new toys from the educational toy manufacturer will be released in spring.
Vtech will be adding some new products to its range this spring. This is announced by the leading supplier of electronic educational toys on its website. Among other things, a jumping frog, a police station for Tut-Tut cars, Gabby's Dollhouse learning products and chattering birds have been announced.
New products for babies and toddlers
For the very youngest Vtech customers, there will be the "Glowing Plush Owl". When your baby presses the music button on the bird, nature sounds and more than 30 different soothing songs and melodies are played. In addition, the light behind the star template on the owl's tummy lights up in five different colours and patterns. The light intensity can be adjusted using a button so that the plush owl can also be used as a night light. You can choose between 15 and 30 minutes of playtime, after which the toy switches off automatically. If your baby cries, the sound sensor integrated in the owl notices this and plays melodies and songs again.
Another new feature is the "jumping fun frog". When the child presses the illuminated flower button on its belly, it speaks sentences and sings. The frog hops along to the rhythm. It has two play modes: In the hopping game, your child can hop along. In music mode, they can learn lots about numbers through songs and sentences. Your child will also learn more about frogs with fun facts. "In addition to gross motor skills, this also playfully promotes language development and trains the sense of hearing," says the Vtech press release.
And the range of singing Tut-Tut cars is being expanded to include a police station. The lift moves the cars up and down, gates and barriers can be opened, and a launch ramp lets vehicles speed out of the prison. The set also includes a Tut-Tut police car and two non-electronic vehicles: a getaway car and
a helicopter for the helipad.
For preschool children
Two new products from the "Gabby's Dollhouse" range have been announced for pre-school children. The "Pandy Learning Clock" has a timer and an alarm function. It also contains four pre-installed games which, according to Vtech, are designed to teach basic maths and shapes, for example. Your child can personalise the clock: There are ten clock faces with different cats to choose from. The watch also lights up during operation.
With the "Gabby's Dollhouse Learning Mobile Phone", your child can make phone calls to the cats Gabby and Panda Paws and their velvet paw friends. The child can also listen to emails in which Gabby talks about her everyday life. There are also four pre-installed games centred around the cat friends. According to Vtech, the aim is to promote memory skills and logical thinking through play.
The third new product for pre-school children is a Twist and Learn cube. This is an interactive cube with light and sound effects. These are triggered by turning the cube. It also features games and quizzes. They are available on the topics of dinosaurs and princesses. According to the toy manufacturer, they are designed to train memory through play.
For the little big ones
For older kids there will be the "Lolibird". The bird repeats what the children say to it. Available in pink, white or blue, the plush bird comes with a magnetic cushion so that your son or daughter can attach it to their shoulder. When the cuddly toy is thrown into the air, pressed or turned upside down, it reacts in different ways. The eyes of the "Lolibirds" can change colour. If your child presses the wings, the toy also sings.
