24-hr Giveaway: V.Smile Cyber Pocket (Now Closed)

*UPDATED: Congratulations to commenter #79- Kelly! I have emailed you for your shipping info.

Toys that also teach are a welcome activity in our home. The V.Smile Cyber Pocket by Vtech turns game time into brain time by combining a video game platform with educational content, all in a portable learning system for little ones ages 4-7.

V.Smile Pocket easy-to-grip console features a flip-up high-resolution screen, touchable writing pad, attached writing stylus, microphone for singing activities, and lefty/righty switchable controls. I think it looks like a mini-laptop, don’t you?

The folks at Vtech sent me one of these nifty gadgets and it is currently sitting under my tree waiting for my 3 year old to rip into it on Christmas morning. Since she is not quite ready for the Wii, I think this a great alternative for Leah.

Vtech not only provided 8 toys for the local charity of my choice (how cool is that!?), I also have one V.Smile Cyber Pocket (a $49.99 value) to giveaway to one lucky reader!

This is a quick giveaway, since I want to make sure it reaches the winner in time for Christmas.
