The Parent Bloggers Network

At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy-duddy, I’m amazed by the range of electronic games out there that are geared toward children. While some of them are pure entertainment, most of them offer educational play too. Even so, we parents want our kids to get off the sofa and out in the sunshine now and then. They need the exercise, right?

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was an interactive gaming system that got kids up and moving?

The VTech V-Motion Active Learning System does exactly that. Aimed at kids age 3-7, it plugs right into the TV and uses motion-activated wireless controllers. Motion-activated - that means the kids have no choice but to get up and move! The VTech Smartridges incorporate age-appropriate lessons in math, reading, science and spelling into character-themed games like WALL-E, Thomas & Friends, and Dora the Explorer.

What’s more, these Smartridges are compatible with all VTech V.Smile gaming systems, and any Smartridge in the VTech library is compatible with the V-Motion. Cross-compatibility - that’s a huge selling point for parents who are tired of buying successive iterations of cartridges and keeping track of which cartridges go with which systems.

Fifteen of our bloggers with kids in the target age range received a VTech V-Motion Active Learning System to check out with their families. See what they had to say - V-Motion might be one way to get your own kids in motion!
