Toys and Games Reviews of Vtech - V.Smile Pocket Learning System
Customer Review: Great toy for ages 2-5...we've had ours for two kids
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this when my oldest daughter (now almost 7 years old) was 3. She actually had the video game console version first and then we bought the pocket system since it was portable. My second daughter often wanted to play it but didn't quite understand (she's 2 1/2 now) but around Christmas, she was able to play it (after getting a V-Motion for Christmas, which can also play these games). I love that I can use the same games on three different gaming systems. And, we've had ours for over three years of PLENTY of dropping! My eldest got a Nintendo DS for Christmas; this is nothing like that (and the only thing I don't like is that there is no pen...but I think my almost 3 year old would not be able to use the redesigned Pocket that has a tethered pen since it's not used on the actual screen). Anyway, great toy, very durable, though sounds like others have had a bad one in the mix.
Description of Vtech - V.Smile Pocket Learning System
This is mind-expanding, on-the-go game play! The V-Smile Pocket turns game time into brain time by combining a video game platform with educational content in a portable learning system that goes anywhere or connects directly to the television for gaming at home. A truly unique way to approach learning, V-Smile is popular with both the most reluctant student and the most eager learner. The battery-operated pocket console, specially made for children ages five to eight years old, allows early school-age learners to play a variety of exciting and imaginative games anywhere they want. With popular characters to guide them through age-appropriate skill levels and developmental activities, children won't even realize they're learning essential lessons in language, math and science. Many brain-building V.Smile Smartridges are available (sold separately), including Cars, Shrek, Dora, Scooby, Thomas and more! Requires 4 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 14" x 11".Who says education and fun don't go hand in hand? The portable VTech V.Smile Pocket Learning System combines video games and educational content for brain-building, on-the-go game play or connecting directly to a television at home. Specifically designed for children between ages five and eight, the Pocket V.Smile is a fun way to learn for both enthusiastic and reluctant students.
Built For Kids
The Pocket V.Smile's full-color LCD screen with a 320-by-240 pixel resolution competes with the "big kid" video game systems. A unique alternative to other systems, the V.Smile is built inside and out with young children in mind. The big buttons are made for a child's hands, and the games build skills in spelling, logic, counting, problem solving, phonics, and vocabulary. Kids get so engrossed with the V.Smile that they won't even realize how much they're developing their minds in language, science and math. Because they can carry the handheld device wherever they go, kids can learn and play independently while parents can rest assured they are providing something healthy, age-appropriate, and educational.
At Home Or On-The-Go
With the included A/V cable, the Pocket V.Smile hooks up directly to televisions as well, requiring no additional equipment. Not only does this option keep kids in one place and allow them to learn and play using a larger screen, but it also makes it easier for them to share the in the fun with friends and siblings -- even parents.
More Favorites
The Pocket V.Smile plays all the same "Smartridges" for the original V.Smile system. This learning system comes bundled with one Smartridge called Zayzoo My Alien Classmate, which teaches skills in math, shapes, time concepts, music, directions, English, and more. A wide selection of other wholesome video games are available separately, involving many favorite characters like Scooby Doo, Dora, Thomas, and Shrek. The Pocket V.Smile requires four "AA" heavy duty batteries (included); alkaline batteries are recommended for longer life and optimum performance.
