VTech Car-Board Racers Off-Roader & Track Instruction Manual

About VTech Toys

VTech understands that a child's needs and abilities change as they grow. With this in mind, VTech develops toys to teach and entertain at the appropriate level for different age groups:

VTech Baby (Birth-36 months)

Toys that stimulate interest in different textures, sounds, and colours. Babies at this stage typically respond to colours, sounds, and textures; understand cause and effect; and learn to touch, reach, grasp, sit-up, crawl, and toddle.

Pre-School (3-6 years)

Interactive toys to develop imagination and encourage language development. Children in this age group often want to get ready for school by learning the alphabet and counting, making learning fun and exciting, and expressing creativity through drawing and music.

Electronic Learning Computers (4-10 years)

Cool, aspirational, and inspiring computers for curriculum-related learning. Children at this age need challenging activities that adapt to their growing minds and often benefit from National Curriculum-based content.
