VTech's background in the production of sophisticated computer hardware and cordless telephones helps explain how this company managed to move into the electronic toys market so seamlessly.
In fact, they didn't just move into the market... they virtually created the Electronic Learning Products category single-handedly! Whilst VTech's toys certainly have an entertaining edge, their focus is very much on developing young minds through age-appropriate electronic aids that help children learn whilst having fun.
One of the most famous VTech toys has to be their revolutionary V.Smile Learning System - one of the few electronic consoles that received a 'thumbs up' from many parents thanks to its excellent mix of educational activities and entertainment value. A whole suite of VTech toys has followed - with the sturdy Kidizoom digital camera, the KidiMusic centre and the KidiPhoto art studio being particularly popular additions.
Some of VTech's latest toys such as the V.Motion Active Learning System have been launched to some excellent reviews. The V.Motion educational gaming system is a classic VTech toy with its emphasis on keeping children entertained, motivated and active whilst developing their hand/eye coordination and problem-solving abilities.
VTech is sure to continue launching category-defining products for many years to come - so make sure you keep up to date with all the latest VTech toy releases at the recommended retailers below.
