NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today VTech®
announces the introduction of the Touch & Learn Activity
Desk™ Deluxe, a three-in-one learning desk. Building on the
success of the original Touch & Learn Activity Desk™, the new
deluxe version offers even more features parents and children will
love, including educational, grow-with-me content that is
expandable for extended play value. With an interactive desktop and
five pages to explore, the Touch & Learn Activity Desk Deluxe
is filled with engaging content including letters, numbers, music
and more. An LED display illustrates letter and number stroke order
and how to draw basic shapes. Eight expansion packs (each sold
separately) will each focus on a specific curriculum, such as
nursery rhymes, reading skills, animals and numbers. The product is
on display at the 2016 North American International Toy Fair®.
"Our original desk is a top-rated item online with a variety of
educational activities and levels parents loved, but consumer
feedback showed we could make it even better," said William To,
President, VTech Electronics North America. "Parents wanted even
more content and we incorporated that into the new version by
offering affordable expansion packs to extend the learning fun.
We're sure the new Touch & Learn Activity Desk Deluxe will be
even more popular than the original with kids and parents
alike."
The Touch & Learn Activity Desk Deluxe has three modes and
transforms from a desk into an easel and chalkboard with plenty of
storage space for art supplies to encourage natural play and
learning. For even more fun, toddlers can play with the toy
telephone or listen to fun tunes on the music player. A stool is
included so kids can enjoy hours of play with this creative and
interactive learning system.
Designed for children between two and five years old, each Touch
& Learn Activity Desk Deluxe expansion pack includes a
cartridge and four double-sided pages that focus on a specific
curriculum. Expansion packs feature nursery rhymes, numbers,
shapes, animals, preschool and kindergarten readiness, dream jobs,
reading skills and basic math. Each pack adds eight activities with
up to 42 interactive touch points for kids to explore.
The Touch & Learn Activity Desk Deluxe will be available
later this year.
