The Brilliant Creations Advanced Notebook from VTech offers educational fun for children ages 5-8. Instead of playing on your ‘grown-up’ computers, your child can enjoy using his or her own “laptop” while learning from the 120 digital activities included.
Designed to engage imagination and creativity, the games will guide children through lessons in telling time, reading, math, science, and more. The progress of your child’s learning can be tracked online as they grow over time from the beginner level to expert. The notebook also provides an opportunity to learn basic computer and typing skills simultaneously while playing active educational games.

With kids running through the door, a laundry basket in one arm, and the ham to defrost for dinner in the other, this holiday season we need three (or four!) arms to pick up the phone. As we approach the busiest time of the year, VTech wants to help you avoid that scramble for the cell phone (how'd it get in the laundry basket?), or the need to drop everything to talk. Their two new phone systems, the DS6421-3 Connect-to-Cell phone system and the LS6475-3 multi-tasking phone system can make phone-tag at home a little less hectic during the holidays.

Keeping media on multiple devices makes it more difficult to locate, making it all the more likely it will be overlooked or misplaced. The latest Toast and Creator software from Roxio (for Macs and PCs respectively) lends a helping hand for media management. Read more about the software, and enter to win your own copy.
