And here are the products that I received and my opinion on each one...
 

About:

Ages 1-5, $44.99

In my opinion:

The Discovery Home was the perfect addition to our toy collection.  My son who is now four loved it. He especially loved the variety of songs and melodies. There were about 40. However, we we didn't discover all of them yet. So, your children will have fun for hours discovering the different sounds. Some of the songs even taught children to be nice.

Another feature I really liked were the educational moments. Children can learn letters, fine motor skills and of course pretend play which I'm a huge fan of. My son loves talking to himself so the home was the perfect toy for him to play with. 

I also loved Miss Nora and the dog. It would be cool to get the toy personalized. But, I'm sure that would be very difficult to create. It was only a suggestion. Overall, the home was a good size for a three story house. I also felt that it was educational, fun and parent friendly.


Explore the Go! Go! Smart Friends Spin-Around Sounds Carnival with Austin. The carnival features five MagicPoint locations and five play pieces that can be used together to encourage creative play.

Simply place Austin on one of the MagicPoint locations to experience his friendly personality, motion, lights, songs and more while developing fine motor skills. Kids can press down on the carousel canopy or place Austin on the carousel horse to make it spin. Turn the airplane ride to make the plane move.

Austin also responds to other MagicPoint locations on Go! Go! Smart Friends accessories and playsets (each sold separately).

Ages 1-5, $29.99

In my opinion:

The carnival goes well with the home because you can pretend that a carnival came to town down the street.  It included five different spots for you to put your characters in such as the magician stage, airplane ride, carousel, flipping balloon game and an ice-cream cart. It also included a character named Austin who is happy and excited about everything.

VTech toys are very educational. I feel that each toy they make included teaching moments as well as songs for the child to learn. The carnival included 30 songs and melodies as well as teaching letters, cause & effect, pretend play and fine motor skills. The sounds made me giggle as well as my son. I especially liked the carousel because it spun and lit up. I highly recommend the carnival by VTech.




Put Mr. Gavin in the driver's seat of the Go! Go! Smart Friends Learning Wheels School Bus and watch the toy bus magically light up and move on its own.

The school bus features three MagicPoint locations that encourage imaginative play and emphasize cause and effect relationships, as well as a stop sign that flips open and a door that opens and closes, enhancing role play and helping develop fine motor skills.

Mr. Gavin also responds to other MagicPoint locations on Go! Go! Smart Friends accessories and playsets (each sold separately).

Ages 1-5, $19.99

In my opinion:

The bus would go really well with the carnival and house because then the characters can be picked up by Mr. Gavin and dropped off at the carnival. Now, there needs to be a school. I think a school should be added to the Go Go Smart Friends collection.

The stop sign was hard to push back but the best part was when the bus actually went forward on its own. It made bus rides look extremely fun so it would be perfect if you wanted to teach your children about riding the bus. 

The bus included 20 songs and melodies and taught the same principles as the carnival and house.




Put Jackson in the Go! Go! Smart Friends Cruise & Go Convertible’s MagicPoint location to watch the toy car light up and magically move on its own. Kids will also hear fun phrases, songs and sound effects.

The convertible even comes with a gas pump accessory that can connect to other Go! Go! Smart Friends accessories (each sold separately). 

The Cruise & Go Convertible is also available with Kaylee in a pink vehicle.

Ages 1-5, $12.99 each

In my opinion:
 
 The convertible was also fun because the wheels turned and the lights came on. There was definitely some pretend play going on as Eli played with Jackson. I wish that the gas station had more to it and the car had a door to open. But, it did have a variety of sounds. Jackson wants to be a racer someday so he is imaginative and active.

I really liked how the characters could be placed in the home, carnival and bus. I also liked learning about their personalities. I definitely recommend VTech Go Go Smart Friends and would be the perfect addition to your Christmas toy shopping.
