The V.Smile TV Learning System has been enhanced with a microphone for a fun sing-along feature and a writing pad stylus to teach proper letter stroke order! The V.Smile TV Learning System is a brilliant breakthrough in TV gaming that combines a video game platform and educational content in a system that plugs directly into your television. This award-winning system plays Smartridges (each sold separately) that are made especially for 3 to 7 year olds. They feature popular characters like Dora, Spider-Man, Thomas and Shrek. Your child will love joining familiar friends on exciting adventures that guide them through age-appropriate skill levels and developmental activities. Each Smartridge includes 4-5 additional learning zone games that focus on specific skills needed in school. Two different game levels let children advance the curriculum and game speeds as they progress. The V.Smile TV Learning System includes a storage compartment that holds up to six Smartridges, and a jumbo writing joystick designed for both left and right handed users, with four flashing buttons and an oversized enter button created specifically for a preschooler's active hands and mind.
