VTech Sit-to-Stand Ultimate Alphabet Train
Hop aboard the Sit-to-Stand Ultimate Alphabet Train! This train is designed to grow with your child and can be used for floor play or as a ride on that also transforms into a walker.

Play ten activities while learning letters, numbers, colors, and more. The train also helps build fine motor skills with a variety of manipulative features including a storybook, clock, gears, and 13 doubled-sided letter blocks that your little one can plug into the side of the train to learn letters and build their vocabulary. The train also counts the blocks when they’re dropped down the chute! For role-play fun, pick up the walkie-talkie and press the number buttons to pretend to talk to animal friends.

Wow. Nice. Talking about Christmas, gifts and kids, I must say now is the right time to start making a list or better still shopping for gifts. There are lots of gift to select from, although the pandemic is still trying to ruin the fun, but we will still try our best. These are great gift you have highlighted here. Thanks!
Sure is. Buying online is the safest way to go for sure. Thanks for visiting. 🙂
You have some great toys here that have caught my eye for the 3 – 9-year-olds. The dust, sweep mop set definitely brings back memories. I purchased my daughter a similar set that also included a vacuum cleaner, my daughter loved it. 27 years later, her my grandson got his own set. It’s defiantly a good way to keep the kids active and teach them about cleaning up.
Not sure how I feel about the Fitbit tracker for kids. I have a Fitbit of my own and its a great tool. Children are normally very active anyway so not sure if it’s necessary.? I think as we get older and leave school Adults tend to be less active where, when we were at school, we had no choice we had to attend PE.
Can’t go wrong with the scooter, The electric scooters are all the craze right now. I am sure children will love this.
Thanks for reading and sharing your memories of the child-size cleaning set. 🙂 Scooter is great but I’m not sure many grandparents want to give an electric one. lol. Thanks again for sharing.
