• Make massive  savings on VTech VSmile Baby Learning Games

The VTech VSmile Time for Teletubbies is reduced to £1.89 saving you £13.10. It includes three fun grow-with-baby levels that teach age appropriate colours, shapes, opposites, movements and much more, making learning fun! In Watch & Learn mode Tinky-Winky will introduce beginner baby sign language including words like love, again and stop.

For £1.99, you can have Baby Einstein, which teach about animals, weather and body parts. It also covers shapes and movement and introduces baby sign language.

The more ‘expensive’ game is Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood Adventure at £2.99. The modes are- Play Time, where you watch your baby play with the activity panel and see special effects on the screen, Watch and Learn, where your toddler can watch educational videos complete with baby sign language and Learn and Explore where your child can direct the play on the screen.

There’s a pretty fantastic deal on VTech First Steps Baby Walkers right now, where they’re selling it for just £10, a massive 67% reduction in price. There’s a catch though – there’s no telling when the price will change. Apparently it’s been up to £25 and back to £10 again today, but while it is at this price, you’re saving £19.99.

• Help your little one’s first steps along with the VTech First Steps Baby Walker

The VTech First Steps Baby Walker seems to be one of the nicer walkers around. I was at an NCT sale recently where there were quite a few of these walkers on offer, and the mums selling them had good things to say about them.

We never used a walker so I honestly don’t know how useful they are in getting a little one walking, but their popularity seems to suggest that they are.

You can assemble the Vtech First Steps baby walker quite easily and it can be folded up to store away. The baby walker has textured wheels for better grip, an easy grip handle, and a durable design that ensures your baby gets excellent support as they take their first tentative steps.

And when they’re not walking, little ones can enjoy the various toys  on the front of the Vtech First Steps baby walker.

I wrote about this Vtech Playtime Bus with Phonics last week.  It was on sale at Argos, but is back to full price with them now - so, just in case you missed it, here it is now on sale at Debenhams.

They've reduced it down from £25 to £15 (you'll need to enter the promotion code I'm going to give you to drop the price to £12.45) and, having had a quick scout around, that seems to be the lowest price available at the moment - Play are the closest with a selling price of £17.20 and Amazon are selling it for £24.95.

• Click HERE to go over to Debenhams

With big chunky alphabet buttons this Vtech Playtime Bus will help your child get to grips with their letters and phonics; if they're not quite ready for that learning curve just pressing them will teach cause and effect.

When the passenger buttons are pressed they say funny things and there are other sounds too, that kids will love - a horn, brakes and revving engine noises, along with music and all that usual malarkey.

The Vtech Playtime Buss takes 2 AA batteries, which Vtech have very kindly included, and is recommended for kiddies aged between one and three.

To drop the price down to £12.45, simply enter code: KG92 into the promotion code box in your basket; delivery to your local store for free collection will take four days.

Now, see what you make of this - having just read the Debenhams delivery page, it would seem to suggest that all deliveries within the UK and NI are free (excluding items from certain departments); YOU have a read and tell me if I'm understanding it correctly or just going mad: Debenhams delivery info.

Argos are selling this VTech Playtime Bus with Phonics for half price - £8.49 instead of £16.99.

• Click HERE to go over to Argos

This Vtech Red Playtime Bus will teach very small children cause and effect - push the buttons and something happens, and as they get older it will help teach them phonics, letter names and numbers.

The passengers on the side are big chunky buttons too, when they're pressed they say funny things and there are also other sounds that kids will love, such as: a horn, brakes and revving engine noises, along with music and all the usual bells and whistles we all expect from VTech.

All little children love busses - which makes this VTech Red Playtime Bus with Phonics perfect for both boys and girls - and will help them to get to grips with phonics, letter names and numbers.

The VTech Red Playtime Bus is available for online reservation and in-store collection; if your local Argos stores don't have any stock it's also available for home delivery but that's going to set you back a whopping £5.95 (well it is whopping when you compare it to Play and Amazon and Co, which is FREEEEE - it's about time Argos and the other expensive delivery suspects caught up!).

Amazon have cut their selling price of this VTech baby's laptop from £14.98, down to £8.50.

• Click HERE to go over to Amazon 

Having had a quick nosey around, I can tell you that Play are selling this Vtech baby's laptop for £17.99, Argos £18.64 and Mothercare £20.94 (all of those prices factor in delivery) so £8.50 is a bit of a bargain.

It's not often that a plastic laptop makes me think 'ahhh, cute!' but that's what popped into my head when I saw this Vtech Baby's laptop - my youngest has always messed around with computers and he would have loved something like this when he was younger.

Don't be fooled into thinking that this is just something that has buttons for your baby to randomly press; as with all VTech toys there's going to be a whole lot of learning going on.

There are nine chunky push buttons to press and the screen lights up.  The Vtech Baby's Laptop has three interactive modes of play: teaching objects, sound effects and shapes and the eight-way directional click-tick mouse and buttons will help develop fine motor skills as well as introducing early computer skills.

Suitable for little people aged between nine and 36 months, I'm sure this VTech baby's laptop will earn its keep and become a firm favourite.

Pushing buttons, flashing lights and a handset to talk into. Toddlers love electronic phone toys, and actually as a mum I found them pretty cool to play with too. There's something therapeutic about just pushing buttons! Tesco Direct has reduced the price of the VTech Buzz Lightyear Talk and Teach Phone from £19.97 to £13.31. That's a saving of one third on the original price.

• Click here for your VTech Buzz Lightyear phone at Tesco Direct

I'm really impressed with the look of this phone. The whole Buzz Lightyear design fits really well here. Even if you didn't know, anyone who was familiar with Buzz Lightyear will instantly recognise this phone. Perfect for any little Toy Story fans, that's for sure.

The blurb on the website describes it as a "play and learn Buzz Lightyear desktop role-play game". Children can press the 0 to 9 number buttons to learn Toy Story characters, numbers and letters. This is achieved through three modes of play; Battery Hunt, Number Code and My Friends.

When the handset is picked up, children will hear the voice changer in action. With the voice changer your voice can be distorted using three funny effects; alien, monster and robot.

The chunky buttons on the phone means the games are not only stimulating but easy to use. With lots of cheerful music and Buzz Lightyear''s voice, it''s time to blast off into learning!

The phone also claims to help with basic maths skills, as the child learns to identify numbers and their order. Batteries are included, and the age range for this toy is 3 years and upwards.

The pink version of the VTech First Steps Baby Walker has 40% off at Amazon, selling for £17.97 instead of £29.99.

• Take those first steps with the VTech First Steps Baby Walker

We never used a walker, so I honestly can’t say what it does or how it helps, but the 41 reviewers of this product on Amazon gave it a 4.7 out of 5 star review.

One of the commenters said of her under six month old, “this used to keep her entertained for hours, and every time she learnt to do anything new, me and my hubby were overcome with joy. The activity board has a range of activities, and teaches many skills. Theres the turning knobs, a phone rattle, which aged about 9 months my daughter treated like a proper phone and babble into it, theres also 2 play modes music and learning. It teaches the alphabet, numbers, colors and shapes. My daughter, at 16 months, still plays with the activity board….”

A toy that keeps a child occupied for many months is always a bonus, and this one has a detachable learning centre packed with musical, educational and interactive activities. It has an easy grip handle, textured wheels and requires 3x AA batteries.

Vtech have, for the time being, reduced the Bugsby Reading System down to £9.99 from £29.99; this is such a good price for this that you'll probably have to be quick to get your hands on one.

I admit it, I prefer REAL books; the ones that have pages made from paper that make a lovely sound when you turn them.

But with reading standards in the UK well below what they should be for lots of kids, I'm happy to go with anything that inspires a love of reading books regardless of their format.

The Bugsby Reading System is an expandable system with other Bugsby story cartridge titles available featuring well-loved characters like Scooby Doo, Sponge Bob Square Pants and the Mr Men and Little Miss.

Vtech also have five story cartridges on special offer too - £4.99 instead of £12.99.

The pen used to interact with the book is Bugsby himself –  he's a Bookworm who will, and I quote, "take your child on magical adventures of reading and discovery." They can even create their own stories too.

Bugsby’s little antennae light up, he has volume controls, a jack to plug headphones into (not included) and there’s no need for additional computer software either, just put the story cartridges, and 3 AAA batteries (again, not included) into his back and he’s ready to go!

I’ve written about Bugsby before and each time I search for bad reviews - I've yet to come across one, so you really aren't going to go wrong with this Vtech purchase.

The Bugsby Reading System is aimed at young readers aged between three and seven years old.

VTech have brought out a Disney Cars 2 Lightning McQueen Digital Camera and Amazon are offering it at a 37% reduction at £37.93, a saving of £22.06.

• Click, click with the VTech Disney Cars 2 Lightning McQueen Digital Camera

This camera aimed at the 3 years and up market takes 2.0 megapixel pictures, and has a 2x digital zoom. My guess is it’s not meant for pictures that are meant to be printed, really, at that resolution. It has 256MB of storage on board, and an SD card slot for memory expansion. It will also store over 500 photos on the camera.

Included with the VTech Disney Cars 2 Lightning McQueen Digital Camera you’ll find Photo Editing CD software too.

It doesn’t require any special assembly, but does need 4xAA batteries, which are included. Made from plastic the Disney Cars 2 Camera should withstand a few knocks, and while it would probably be cheaper to get an old camera off ebay for your budding photographer, this is fab for any Cars 2 fans.

It’s a relatively new product, so there aren’t any reviews for it yet, but I’m interested to see them when they do come in, as this one is from the makers of Kidizoom.

There’s a good 50% off the VTech Winnie the Pooh Slide and Learn Book at Tesco Direct. It’s currently selling at £7.47 instead of £14.97.

• Sing along with the VTech Winnie the Pooh Slide and Learn Book

This book has six illustrated, easy-to-clean, hard plastic pages, featuring moving interactive elements for your little one to join in with to develop hand-eye coordination and manipulative skills – not manipulation skills, mind!

Each page has a short story phrase that teaches a different concept, such as opposites, words and numbers as well as popular nursery rhyme tunes, all achieved by twisting or sliding character features.

You can also press on Winnie the Pooh for a fun song to sing along.

While this is said to be suitable from 9 – 36 months, babies as young as four months are said to really enjoy listening to the songs, according to the gushing reviews for it on Amazon.

You will require two AA batteries, and one complaint of the system is that it doesn’t have an off switch, so the batteries drain quite quickly.

As much as I’m not normally a fan of toys that make a noise, I must admit, the Sing and Discover Piano from VTech is a fantastic toy.

It is a chunky musical keyboard with a ‘songbook’ with turning pages (the sounds automatically change to match the page that’s open – how they did that I have no idea). The songbook ‘chapters’  are shapes, animals and nursery, and the characters are a bird, cat, elephant, pig and  monkey which all come to audible life when the corresponding buttons are pushed.

There’s also a row of five musical notes which teach pretty realistic animal sounds, instruments and colours.  Depending on which ‘chapter’ you’re on in the songbook, you can have 15 nursery rhymes played and six sung out and changing the pages changes the songs so that they’re tweeted by birds, oinked by the pig, trumpeted by the elephant, meowed by the cat or screeched by the monkey – which isn’t as bad as it sounds.

Below that are the function controls – two volume settings which are both reasonably pitched – and two play modes and an off switch.

Below all that five keyboard keys with pictures of the characters and their instruments, and in the same mode as those above, these keys are simple keyboard keys.

To the left of all this is a beat box which plays for about four seconds before needing to be pressed again, (which is fine in the context of this game). There’s a microphone too, but I don’t actually remember that ever working for us. Perhaps my daughter damaged it before she was really able to use it. To the right is a musical director dog, and twiddling him gets barks and funny sounds and he says “It’s show time!”

Switching over to the other mode gives a whole new range of sounds and songs, with talking and story like comments, i.e. “trumpet like the elephant” or “screech like the monkey”.

Moving down to the keys, in this mode, each key produces a few seconds of ‘jam(ming) with the band’.

All in the Sing and Discover Piano is a fantastic toy. It’s hardy, can handle knocks, and has so many different options to entertain. My daughter always goes back to it, and it’s one of the few musical toys that I’ve never yet found irritating.

The VTech Winnie The Pooh Play And Learn Laptop at Sainsbury’s has £5 off at the moment, dropping the price from £19.99 to £14.99.

• Click here to play and learn with Winnie the Pooh

My daughter was given a little started laptop for Christmas, with not many more buttons on it than this one, but seven months later, she  not only still loves and plays with it, but can also say all the animal names, their sounds and number on the laptop. It’s a great toy, but is educational too – and when Mummy and Daddy sit ‘working’ she sometimes likes to ‘work’ on hers too, so it’s a really useful tool when there are things I just have to finish.

This laptop features three play modes including a fun follow the lights game.  There are lots of features including five light-up shape buttons, a spinning disc, a sliding bee, a flipping butterfly wing and a roller ball.

Ideal for early learning, the VTech Winnie the Pooh laptop introduces shapes, colours, numbers and favourite characters.

The laptop requires 2xAA batteries which are included.

Standard delivery is £3.95, but click and collect is free of charge.

The VTech Challenger Laptop is on offer at Amazon for £16.65. That’s the cheapest we’ve seen it on PlayPennies, and although you can get it at Tesco for the same, you’ll have to add almost £5 delivery and Play have it for £17.99.  And Mail Order Express is a whopping £29.99.

• Learn and play with the VTech Challenger Laptop at Amazon

Of course we all know kids should run and play and have imaginative games to stimulate them, but sometimes, it’s nice to have them sit quietly and play too – and if that has an educational element, all the better.

The Vtech Challenger Laptop comes with a real mouse, has a full QWERTY keywboard and has 40 games and activities which are based on the national curriculum. Subjects include English, maths, music and basic French and a fun quiz game show format.

The games are suitable for single play or the  2-player mode and the progress report can be viewed on-screen if you want to see how your little one is progressing.

The VTech Challenger Laptop is recommended from age four, although one of the reviewers has a 3 year old who loves it.

It needs 3xAA batteries, which are included, but there doesn’t seem to be any mains power source.

Tesco Direct are selling this Vtech In the Night Garden Sing and Slide nursery book for just less than half price, it's £8.00 instead of £16.97.

• Click HERE to go over to Tesco

The In The Night Garden Vtech Sing and Slide nursery book is just the sort of thing young babies and toddlers love; it's fun, it has bells and whistles and lights and it's typical Vtech 'making learning fun' .

When they press the Upsy Daisy and Igglepiggle buttons your child will hear their sounds and songs and can watch the lights flash along in time.

Reviews from other people who already have this In The Night Garden Vtech Sing and Slide nursery book read like this...

"My grandson loves the In the Night Garden Vtech Nursery book which I bought him for christmas. It is very sturdy and also well made. It holds his attention for quite a long period of time as there are quite a few things to do on each page. The talking and singing voices are the same as the T.V program."

The one thing lots of people say is that it's quite heavy and little toes have been squashed when it's been dropped on them; something to consider if you're massively over protective perhaps.

Batteries are included and it's suitable for little ones aged 6 months or older.

Delivery costs almost as much as the book, so I'd click and collect in-store.

A fantastic deal from Vtech UK, the VSmile Pocket Learning System has been marked down from £39.99 to only £16.99 and comes with Zayzoo included. You will have to pay a £5 delivery charge, taking the total cost to £21.99, still a neat saving off the original price.

The VSmile Pocket Learning System is a cool portable educational gaming system designed for 5-9 year olds. There are two modes of play for variety and fun, merging both real gaming and education into one lovely platform. The Vtech educational tools are really good, I have one of these and my child has show improvement thanks to the clever games and activities.

The VSmile Pocket Learning System comes with an earphone jack and adaptor port and a free pocket carry case included in the price. The game encourages independent play, problem solving (strategic thinking through memory and logic skills), discovery and exploration, and hand/eye co-ordination.

I have no idea what Zayzoo is but I imagine that having it included for free is something of a bonus. An excellent bargain from Vtech who, by the way, have quite a few other games included in their half price sale at the moment.

I must confess I'm a traditional book kind of girl.  I'm not a fan of electronic books and I gave my Kindle away as it just wasn't the same reading experience not being able to turn paper pages.

That said, if electronic books, like this Bugsby Reading System, are what it takes to encourage reading in youngsters aged between three and seven years old, then I'm all for them!

The Bugsby Reading System is an expandable system with other Bugsby story cartridge titles available featuring well-loved characters like Scooby Doo, Sponge Bob Square Pants and the Mr Men and Little Miss.

Vtech currently have half price deals on the story cartridges too, £5.99 instead of £12.99 .

The pen used to interact with the book is Bugsby himself -  a Bookworm who promises to take your child on magical adventures of reading and discovery, they can even create their own stories too.

Bugsby’s little antennae light up, he has volume controls, a jack to plug headphones into (not included) and there’s no need for additional computer software either, just put the story cartridges, and 3 AAA batteries (again, not included) into his back and he’s ready to go!

The book itself is brightly coloured, durable and can be kept clean with a damp cloth.

You really aren’t going to go wrong with this one.  I've written about him before and I still can't find anyone with a bad word to say about the Bugsby Reading System.

Standard delivery is £5 and usually takes no more than 48 hours.

Amazon are selling this Vtech Pop and Play Elephant for £12.49 at the moment.  That's half price as he should be £24.99 and is the price he's being sold for with all the other usual suspects, apart from Play.com, they're letting him go for £17.99.

• Click HERE to pop on over to Amazon

This little Vtech Pop and Play Elephant is CUTE!

He will introduce your child to animals, numbers and colours with a fun magical blowing theme.

There are four interactive balls which pop up and bounce as the elephant blows them through his fun jungle surroundings counting along the way.

Four colourful interactive piano keys play fun sound effects when they're pressed, along with five melodies and two sing-along songs.

You really won't go wrong with Vtech toys; they're bright, colourful, interactive and educational and this Vtech Pop and Play Elephant will not only teach your little one all the things I've already mentioned, but their fine motor-skills will be developed along with their understanding of cause and effect; just brilliant, I love Vtech things.

He also comes with the 2AA batteries included; bravo Vtech.

Amazon are currently selling this Vtech Sleepy Bear Digital Baby Monitor for £32 instead of £79.99.

• Click HERE to dash over to Amazon

And I would dash too - I'm a bit nervous about writing this one, I don't trust Amazon and their price fiddling one bit BUT the reduced price on this Vtech Sleepy Bear Digital Baby Monitor makes it worth the risk (just don't shoot the messenger if the price changes, it's correct as I write this post).

This digital baby monitor has a cute sleepy bear baby unit that plays soft music, and nature sounds, to help lull your baby off to sleep with 30 well-known melodies and two soothing nightlights.

For you the parent unit has high quality DECT transmission and HD sound technology for crystal clear sound and zero interference so you can keep an ear on what your baby is up to and hear when they need you.

It is also portable and has a 300 m long-range transmission outdoors and 50 m indoors. It features visual sound level indicators, volume and sensitivity settings and a low battery warning light.  You can activate the settings on the sleepy bear from the parent unit too so you don't have to go into your baby's room and run the risk of disturbing them.

The baby unit requires 6 x AA batteries and 2 x AA for parent unit, none of which are included; boo!

Amazon are selling the Winnie the Pooh VTech Walker for £18.86, 43% - or £14.13 off.

• Learn to walk with Pooh-bear

With the release of the Winnie the Pooh movie today, there's sure to be an upsurge in the sale of Winnie the Pooh toys. I know since we saw it on Sunday we've acquired a Winnie the Pooh soft toy, and Winnie the Pooh's Picnic Duplo! My little girl even dances to the soundtrack of the audio books!

So, you can get the Pooh-love in early with this VTech Walker from Amazon.

It features a light-up honey pot, buzzy bee button, turning book page, sliding caterpillar – from where I don't know! - roller, and a spinning flower with a mirror.

The Vtech Winnie the Pooh walker introduces animals, sing-along songs and music – for which it requires 2 AA batteries, which are included. The easy grip handle and apparently durable design are supposed to make taking those first steps easier. Admittedly, we got on just fine without a walker, but this does look like a fun bit of activity for a little one.

Amazon reviewers loved it across the board, and say that even non-walkers can have hours of fun off it.
