Gaming Time = Learning Time with VTech's Level Up Gaming Chair™

By Sarah Cates, Macaroni KID Concord Publisher August 30, 2022

Time is ticking! I have one year to prepare my little guy for Kindergarten next year. A couple years ago, my older son seemed to begin writing and pre-reading before any real structured teaching. This year, I'll be teaching my first grader while also helping my little guy gain the skills needed for Kindergarten, so it's a little more to juggle. Thankfully, I have VTech's new Level Up Gaming Chair to help him do some independent learning too!

I keep hearing homeschool moms and teachers say that little ones learn through play. As parents, it is amazing to see how fast they grow and learn simply by interacting with the world around them. Having the right toy can be captivating while also teaching things at just the right time. 

The VTech Level Up Gaming Chair turns gaming time into learning time. With 2 different levels, the VTech Level Up Gaming Chair™ is perfect for ages 1.5 to 4 years old! At my son's birthday party, both he and my friend's 1.5 year old were challenged with new concepts that targeted their different stages of development. The Level Up Gaming Chair™ teaches:

  • Letters
  • Numbers
  • Music 
  • Vocabulary 
  • Animals

In our house, learning takes place in multiple locations, including at the table, couch, desk, and outside. So it is quite handy that the Level Up Gaming Chair™ comes with a detachable take-along tablet! Now, no matter where his older brother is working on his schoolwork, my little guy can grab his tablet and learn right alongside him. Since it is WiFi-free, the interactive tablet will work anywhere. I don't need to worry about what buttons he may push or junk popping up on the screen.



VTech has been a trusted brand for our boys since they were babies. So I was excited for the opportunity to receive their Level Up Gaming Chair™ and review it for you! It was delivered to our porch just in time for my little guy's birthday. The timing was so perfect, because I found it on our porch after running errands and the birthday boy was sound asleep. It was so much easier than physically shopping for birthday presents for kids who are around me 24/7!



The Level Up Gaming Chair™ was a birthday present that satisfied my love for educational toys and my little guy's love for fun right at his level! I enjoy seeing him play in his Level Up Gaming Chair™ or using the tablet in the car knowing he's learning through play. I'm looking forward to seeing both my little guys learn all year long! 

The VTech Level Up Gaming Chair™ was just released, so your little ones (Ages 1.5 to 4) can learn while gaming, too. You can appreciate the ease and secrecy of shopping for the Level Up Gaming Chair™ just like I did by purchasing from Amazon! It is also available at Walmart and Target. MSRP is $49.99.
