Madison and Macie play with new Vtech toys

Im a sucker for giving my girls new toys and most importantly, new toys that also educate them. I always pick my toys carefully as I want them to be not only educational, but also have that fun factor. I love seeing their faces light up and love to watch them discover and learn to use their new toys and see how engaged they are. Proud mumma alright!!

VTech is a brand I've loved for a while now and buy for my girls. Why? Here's a few reasons:
They have been around and trusted for 35 years, available worldwide in 25 languages most importantly, VTech is a world leader in educational learning, helping enrich children's development and make learning fun.

What Madison said she likes about the watch (in her actual words)

I really love the games, they are fun and there's a lot of different games.

The camera has different designs I can use to change the picture and make it more fun.
Pink is my favourite colour I like the pink.
I look like mumma wearing a watch too but your watch is black mumma.
I press the watch screen to move to something else, there's no buttons.
I use the microphone and it records me and Macie taking.
