The V.Smile TV Learning System is a breakthrough in TV gaming that combines a video game platform and educational content in a system that plugs directly into your television. This award-winning system plays Smartridges that are made especially for 3 to 7 year olds and feature popular characters like Dora, Spiderman, Thomas and Shrek. Your child will love joining familiar friends on exciting adventures that guide them through age-appropriate skill levels and developmental activities. Each Smartridge includes additional learning zone games that focus on specific skills needed in school. Two different game levels let children advance the curriculum and game speeds as they progress. The V.Smile system includes a storage compartment that holds up to six Smartridges and a jumbo writing joystick designed for both left- and right-handed users, with four flashing buttons and an oversized Enter button created specifically for a preschooler's active hands and mind.
