Edward is growing up so fast! When he was about 5 months old I started looking for toys he could smart play with and VTech was recommended to us. A friend used the First Steps Baby Walker with her children and they loved it so I bought one. From the moment it came out of the box my son loved it.
It was easy to assemble and the detachable learning centre means it can be used whilst sitting. The toy really grows with the needs of the child and encourages learning through a variety of activities. Edward has learned to press the buttons, flip the butterfly and spin the discs. He’s a confident crawler but also can stand for ages whilst leaning on the handle. As he doesn’t understand that toys have a top and bottom he also loves to flip it upside down and spin the rollers and wheels! The toy is a firm favourite, can be collapsed which means we can take it on holiday, and I can imagine we will be using it for a long time.
It’s not the only VTech toy we have; we also have the Roly Poly Penguin, the Play and Learn laptop and the Baby’s Laptop. All have been great for helping Edward understand how he can interact with his toys and has introduced him to letters, words, melodies, lights and movement and helps put our mind at rest that his play also helps him learn!
I wanted to capture the fun he has so I made a little video of him today. I love the way he walks across the room in such a jerky fashion – growing up far too fast!
