• Position: What's New?

We can't recall a holiday season when VTech was not a big part of what makes this time of year so much fun:

* Go! Go! Smart Wheels Blast-Off Space Station ($34.99, ages 1 -5). Little astronauts will love helping the rocket lift off from the launch pad for an outer space adventure. Maneuver down the space ramp, spin the galaxy, or even pretend to tumble through a black hole. The SmartPoint rocket can zoom past five SmartPoint locations to hear fun phrases and music. Press the toy rocket's light-up button to hear sing-along songs and learn the letter "R." It includes a variety of features to strengthen motor skills and teach cause-and-effect.

* Bizzy the Mix & Move Bot ($24.99, ages 2-5). Children can get creative as they build their own robot. This playful bot illustrates cause-and-effect as children connect the accessories to trigger fun responses. It includes 10 different accessories that produce unique melodies to encourage the role-play experience by creating a different robot every time. Bizzy also loves to dance around to the music on interchangeable legs or wheels.

* Zoo Jamz Piano ($24.99, ages 18 months-4 years). Now little ones can be rock stars as they sing and play with this four-in-one...
