Introduction

VTech develops toys that teach and entertain, adapting to a child's changing needs and abilities. The Stack & Discover Animals toy is designed to stimulate interest through different textures, sounds, and colours.

Pressing the three light-up buttons on the base activates animal names, sounds, numbers, and shapes.
