The VTech InnoTab 3 – The Tablet for Kids
I once heard someone say, “In the eyes of a child, everything becomes right if a grown person does it.” To some, this may have a negative connotation.

As time passed, however, these toys evolved into remote controlled vehicles, Barbie dolls, and Lego. While the ...
