Product Review: V Tech V Motion



Thanks to Walmart and V-Tech my almost four year old has had a chance to check out this toy. The V-Tech V-Motion is a learning system that through play encourages children to learn. For parents it is very easy to set up and for children it is very easy to Play. The control can be used as a joystick or it can also be used based on motion. This is a very good feature for children who are not able to maneuver a joystick well but can play the game by just moving their arms.

The games are entertaining and promote interactive learning. My son is not quite there yet so some of the games are a little bit ahead for him since they may require simple addition and subtraction skills. Your child will look forward to playing them because they feature popular characters such as Mickey mouse, Kung fu Panda or Dora the Explorer.

As a mom this is what I like about this toy: as parents we are trying to keep our children away from video games. Unfortunately my son is exposed to them when he visits older cousins or friends. I feel this system provides him the opportunity to feel included in what the older children are doing while promoting learning. I feel this is a very smart substitution. You just need to be careful when you pick games to make sure they are for your child's age otherwise the child may feel frustrated and lose interest.

Thank you Walmart and V-Tech for letting us check out such a great toy.
