CHICAGO, Oct. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today VTech® announced that its Explore & Write Activity Desk™ was named to Walmart's Top Rated by Kids toy list. Walmart's Top Rated Kids Toys list highlights the top 40 hottest toys of the upcoming holiday season as rated by the real toy authorities: kids. The product was recognized in the innovative items category, featuring toys that offer uncharted areas of play. The honor marks the fifth consecutive year a VTech toy was handpicked by kids for a spot on the exclusive list.
