Chicago – Today VTech announces the availability of the Kidi Star Dance™, an innovative new toy that lets kids play games, learn popular moves and dance along with music. Kidi Star Dance is part of VTech’s Kidi line of electronics, which also includes the new KidiGo™ Walkie Talkies and Kidizoom® Pixi™.
“Kidi Star Dance is perfect for kids who love dancing! The interactive games and dance challenges are fun for kids to play on their own or with friends,” said Andy Keimach, President, VTech Electronics North America. “We’ve had a lot of success with our popular Kidi line and these new additions give kids even more fun, age-appropriate tech toys.”
Kidi Star Dance combines movement and technology for an active play, dance and gaming experience. Kids can snap on a motion-activated band to learn cool dance moves, complete action challenges, challenge friends to a dance-off and play exciting dance games.
VTech is also introducing new kid-safe KidiGo Walkie Talkies, which feature a secure digital connection over a 500-foot range so kids can go wherever adventure takes them. With a backlit LCD screen, kids can also send preset animated messages between units and play real-time two-player games. For more fun with friends, the Kidizoom Pixi is a compact-sized camera with a flip-top lid that makes one-handed picture-taking easy. Then, kids can get creative with fun photo filters and effects for customizable looks.
The new products are available now at major retailers nationwide. For more information, visit www.vtechkids.com.
VTech Kidi Star Dance™: Move and groove with the Kidi Star Dance™! Put on the motion-activated bands and learn 20 cool dance moves step by step by following the animated dance instructor. Once kids learn the moves, they can put them together and dance along to the included music. Color-changing lights flash along to the music to make kids feel like a star. Play four motion games or create music with movement by playing 14 different effects including drum and magical fairy sounds. Give the second band to a friend and challenge them to a game or a dance-off. Add more music by connecting your own MP3 player or loading songs using a microSD card. (Ages 5+ years; MSRP: US$59.99)
