*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.

1. Leave a comment below telling me who you want to win a V.smile for (initial entry).  If you are reading via email or in a reader, please click through to the post to enter.

2. If you are a subscriber or follower (thank you!), leave a comment. You may subscribe for free updates via RSS or email and leave a comment telling me you have done so.

Good luck, and thank you for entering!

Disclosure: This giveaway is sponsored by the kind folks at Vtech. The thoughts and words are all mine.

  60. terri says

    I would give this to the kids next door as my kids are to old for it now. They are having a hard time & I could just say that I won & my kids are to old for it so the mother wouldn’t feel bad & I wouldn’t be telling a fib.

  61. Shawna says

    I want to thank you for all the great tips and values you have posted this month! This year, like many many folks, Christmas funds are almost nonexistent. I have been able to get small gifts for my family for MUCH MUCH less this year which is great because otherwise they probably would have not gotten a gift from us at all. Your sight has been a huge blessing to my family and to my coworkers! My son is 5 and is learning to read and write. We love educational toys and try to stick with those as much as possible. Please enter us in the contest for the Vsmile Cyber Pocket. Have a very Merry Christmas! May He bring joy and peace to you this Christmas.

    I would love to win this for my 4 year old daughter who will turn 5 Dec 28. My husband just lost his job this week and thankfully Christmas is covered but we could really use a great gift for her Birthday since we had to tell her we can no longer have a party (@ Chucky Cheese) for her. And I always try to get educational gifts to help as we homeschool. God Bless and Merry Christmas!

    Hi!

    I would love this for my 5 year old. She is too little to play her sisters’ Nintendo DS games, but this looks perfect for her little mind!

  166. Susan says

    I would love to win this for my 6 year old grandson who just found out he has to have several teeth pulled because his mouth is too small and the teeth are actually in the bone! Ouch. They do not celebrate Christmas due to their religion so he won’t be getting a lot of toys like many (and my other) children.

    My second choice would be for my 3 year old grandson who never gets to play with his older brothers PSPs.

  169. Tracey Turner says

    I would love this for my youngest son! My older one has a Nintendo DS, but it is still abit too much for the little one

    I would definitely gift this to my youngest- Piper who is 6. She could really use some spoiling this year around. Over the past 12 months we have been in and out of the doctors and emergency room for serious UTI’s. So bad sometimes that she has had to be hospitalized for fear of serious damage to her kidneys. I would love to gift her with something that can keep her very occupied on those days that we end up with long visits to the hospital cause Lord knows she needs it…

    Happy holidays everyone!!!

    I would give the game to my 5 year old daughter. We just completed our second adoption from China last month, and our budget is pretty tight. It is going to be a very lean Christmas this year. I know she would love this game.

    Thanks and Merry Christmas

  249. says

    I would love to win one of these for my oldest son – who is four. He has just started to take an interest in video games, and I’d much rather he do something with an educational focus!

  264. Bethany Goff says

    I have been SO wanting to get an educational toy for my 4 year old son, but it seems they are so expensive! This would be such a blessing to win for Matthew, and would give him something good to do (not fight with his big brother!) on the 45 minute ride to church twice a week.
    Thank you, and thank V Tech and Thank the Lord for this giveaway!

  269. Lisa Johnston says

    I would love to give one to my youngest – he’ll be 4 in January and is always talking about when he’ll get his “DS” like his older brother!

    Thanks for the chance and have a blessed Christmas!

  287. Agnes says

    I would love to win this for Mercer, my very precocious 4 year old son (going on 12). He enjoys watching his big brother plays his hand held games that are just a bit advanced for him … it would be nice to have something that he can travel with and play with right along with big brother Marvin!

  309. Cheryl says

    I’d love to win this for my grandson, Wyatt. He loves the computer and technology, but I worry that it is not terribly healthy for him. This is a great way to give him the opportunity to use technology, but in an educational way.
