A couple of months back, I received a message from VTech asking me if I would be interested in receiving a product from them to review it. Of course it was an immediate "yes." I was asked how old the girls were because they wanted to make sure to send an age appropriate toy that both of the girls would enjoy playing with. I thought that it was very nice that they kept that in mind.
About a month later, we received a (pink!) VTech Touch and Learn Activity Desk along with the Touch and Learn Activity Expansion Pack!
The expansion pack comes with an insert that goes in the desk in order for you to use the activity sheets included with the preschool expansion pack. The desk is 3-in-1 which is awesome because it converts from an interactive desktop, to and easel, and even into a chalkboard. There is also a ton of storage space under either and on the side.
Hubby and I decided to give it to the girls for a special occasion. So that is just what we did. We set it up for the girls on St. Patrick’s Day and placed it right in their playroom. Even though our playroom has a rug, the desk came with pads you can stick to the bottom of the stool feet and desk feet to prevent it from sliding all over the floor or to prevent the girls from falling.
Everything pops in and out super easily, aka, the girls can do everything themselves. The insert from the expansion pack has a little face on it too. It does not get much cuter than that folks. Here are some snaps of our Savannah girl playing at the desk and fully enjoying it!
This girl absolutely loves playing with this desk! I mean look at her!
Reason 48395 I love this desk is because if the girls get it sticky, cover it in crumbs, or decide to spill juice on it, the desk easily wipes clean.
Did I mention it entertains the girls long enough for me to throw in a load of laundry or prep dinner?
If you are looking for a great and super inexpensive gift for a child between 18ish months and 5ish years, this is it. Ours is pink, yes, but it also comes in gender neutral colors as well. We are just pink lovers in our house!
Other than being aesthetically pleasing for all, the activities that the desk features are educational and appropriate for early learners like my kiddos! The vocabulary, learning activities, and songs encourage the girls to interact which is super engaging. (Again, mom can get stuff done!) From the minute I took it out of the box, I was immediately able to see how it would help Shannon with the skills she needs in order to be successful in preschool and ready for kindergarten. Crossing my fingers it will do the same for Savannah!
Hopefully I can get some snaps of miss Shannon playing at the desk very soon, but I was too excited to not share this super exciting toy with all of you!
Go check it out! You can find it in (most) stores and it is almost eveywhere online!
VTech has always been one of our favorite brands. Nothing but smiles here my friends!
