Overview

The VTech Cuddle & Sing Elephant is a soft, interactive toy designed for babies from birth to 36 months, with features that also appeal to pre-schoolers (3-6 years) and children up to 10 years, aligning with VTech's philosophy of developing toys that cater to a child's evolving needs and abilities. This snuggly elephant offers a variety of textures, a light-up heart button, and colourful rattle beads to stimulate a child's senses and encourage early learning. Its convenient strap allows for easy portability, making it a suitable companion for children on the go.

Function Description:

The Cuddle & Sing Elephant is an electronic learning toy that aims to stimulate a child's interest through different textures, sounds, and colours. It helps children in their early developmental stages by encouraging responses to colours, sounds, and textures, fostering an understanding of cause and effect, and promoting learning through touch, reach, grasp, sit-up, crawl, and toddle. For pre-schoolers, it serves as an interactive toy to develop imagination and encourage language development. The toy features songs, phrases, melodies, and sounds, all activated by pressing the light-up heart button. When a melody is playing, pressing the heart button again adds fun sounds over the melody, and the light flashes in sync with the sounds.

Important Technical Specifications:

The device requires 1 new AAA (AM-4/LR03) battery for operation. For optimal performance, alkaline batteries or fully charged Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are recommended. The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit and secured with a screw.

Usage Features:

  • On/Off/Volume Selector: A slide switch allows users to turn the unit On (to either Low or High volume settings) or Off. When turned on, the unit plays a song, phrases, and sounds.
  • Light Up Heart Button: This central button activates songs, phrases, melodies, and sounds. It also allows for the addition of fun sounds over playing melodies, with the light flashing to the sounds.
  • Colourful Rattle Beads: Integrated into the elephant's design, these beads provide additional sensory stimulation and auditory engagement.
  • Automatic Shut-Off: To conserve battery life, the Cuddle & Sing Elephant automatically powers down after each response. It can be reactivated by pressing the Heart Button.
  • Portability: Equipped with a convenient strap, the elephant can be easily carried or attached to a stroller or car seat, though it is advised to remove the product from an infant carrier when the vehicle is moving.

Songs and Melodies:

The toy includes three songs with lyrics provided in the manual:

  • Song 1: "I wave my trunk in the air. I swish my tail everywhere. I'm walking through the forest. Come sing and play with me."
  • Song 2: "I'm a strong elephant. Who loves singing and marching around."
  • Song 3: "Little one, little one, you're my best friend. Touch my trunk, and feel my ears, We will laugh and play."

Additionally, the toy features 15 melodies:

  1. Are You Sleeping?
  2. Boys and Girls Go Out to Play
  3. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
  4. Au Clair de Lune
  5. Humpty Dumpty
  6. One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
  7. Cradle Song
  8. Bicycle Built for Two
  9. Do You Know the Muffin Man?
  10. Brahms Lullaby
  11. Little Robin Red Breast
  12. Rock-A-Bye Baby
  13. Winkum, Winkum
  14. Little Boy Blue
  15. Little Bo-Peep

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: The unit should be kept clean by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. The soft fabric elephant is surface washable only.
  • Storage: Keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from any direct heat sources. For extended periods of non-use, batteries should be removed.
  • Durability: Avoid dropping the unit on hard surfaces and do not expose it to moisture or water.
  • Battery Safety:
    • Insert batteries with the correct polarity (+ and -).
    • Do not mix old and new batteries.
    • Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable batteries.
    • Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used.
    • Do not short-circuit the supply terminals.
    • Remove exhausted batteries from the toy.
    • Dispose of batteries safely and do not dispose of them in fire.
    • If using rechargeable batteries (if removable), remove them from the toy before charging.
    • Rechargeable batteries should only be charged under adult supervision.
    • Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
  • Troubleshooting: If the unit stops working or malfunctions, the recommended steps are to turn the unit off, interrupt the power supply by removing batteries, let it stand for a few minutes, replace the batteries, and then turn it back on. If it still doesn't work, install a new set of batteries. If the unit powers down or the light fades during play, it indicates that a new set of batteries is needed.

Environmental Responsibility:

VTech emphasizes responsible disposal of batteries and products. The crossed-out wheelie bin symbols on products and batteries indicate that they should not be disposed of with domestic waste, as they contain substances harmful to the environment and human health. Chemical symbols like Hg (mercury), Cd (cadmium), or Pb (lead) further specify the presence of these elements. The solid bar indicates the product was placed on the market after August 13, 2005. In the UK, consumers are encouraged to dispose of the toy at small electricals collection points for recycling.
