Amazon.com Product Description
Finally, a video game system that parents can feel good about! With children asking for video games at younger and younger ages, the VTech V.Smile TV Learning System makes kids and parents happy, combining entertainment and education with age-appropriate games. Designed especially for kids ages three to eight, this learning system even offers different levels of play, allowing the educational output to grow along with the children.

Kid-Friendly Features
With an included A/V cable, the pink and purple colored V.Smile learning system hooks up directly to televisions, requiring no additional equipment. Built for small hands, the innovative joystick controller adjusts to accommodate both right- and left-handed users and features four flashing buttons and an oversized enter button. The joystick even has a stylus and writing pad for writing activities to teach proper letter stroke order. With a spot for a second joystick, kids can invite their friends over for two-player game play. The V.Smile also comes with a microphone for sing-a-long fun.

Learning Made Fun
A unique alternative to other systems, the V.Smile is built inside and out with young children in mind. The games build skills in spelling, logic, counting, problem solving, phonics, and vocabulary. Kids have so much fun with the V.Smile that they don't even realize how much they're developing their minds in language, science and math.

The games -- called "Smartridges" -- feature popular favorite characters like Scooby Doo, Dora, Thomas, and Shrek. Each Smartridge includes four or five additional learning zone games aimed at improving specific scholastic skills. This system comes bundled with one Smartridge. A wide selection of games are available separately and are organized into three levels of educational play: Early Learners (ages 3-5), Junior Thinkers (ages 4-6) and Master Minds (ages 6-8). With this range of educational output, children can advance to new games as they learn and grow. The Smartridges play in both the V.Smile TV Learning System and the handheld Pocket V.Smile.
