Welcome to the fun and highly engaging world of SmartVille from VTech that enhances traditional role-play sets and adds ‘Smart’ technology to create a new concept in child development. SmartVille is the first interactive play set for children as young as 12 months.
SmartVille includes a range of lovable animal characters and individual, interactive play sets featuring popular play scenes: a Train Station, Tree House, Fire Station, Ice Cream Parlour, Post Office and a Musical Band Stand. Each SmartVille play set features a number of ‘hot spots’ that trigger various responses. For example, the train calls out letter names and sounds whilst traveling on the alphabet train track and the animals announce their names and colours and the Musical Band Stand plays sing-along melodies.
“Stimulating a child’s imagination and taking conventional role-play into a new dimension, SmartVille will deliver an age-appropriate curriculum-based learning experience” comments Andrew Dickson, Managing Director of VTech UK. “SmartVille will further reinforce VTech’s traditional standpoint on the delivery of education though a challenging and fun interactive play environment”.
Helping your child to play with other children and their siblings is also an important way of building their social skills which are essential as they get older. The SmartVille range inspires children to play together and helps to develop these skills. Leading social psychologist Dr Julie Coultas, who specialises in the social developmental aspects of children’s play comments: “Play often occurs in social interaction contexts where the child learns, for instance, how to take turns. Even before the age of 12 months a child pays more attention to activities when an adult is involved. Play with siblings and other children can enhance a child's understanding of the social world."
The play sets link together to create the collectible SmartVille town and each piece is available separately making them ideal gifts from family and friends, visit www.vtechuk.com/smartville to create a gift ‘wish list’ online.
