This bilingual toy phone offers music, vocal sounds, flashing lights and an emotional-interaction function. It is plastic, comes in dinosaur, rabbit and elephant designs and is powered by a standard or rechargeable lithium battery. It has no memory function. Selected options include a lanyard and battery.
Toddlers watch adults use phones all day and want one of their own. Keeping yours out of small hands is a daily game of keep-away, and giving them your real phone is not what you want.
What people like about a toy phone is that it lets a child join in the pretend game. The lights and sounds hold attention, the animal designs make it friendly and the bilingual feature adds an extra element of play. It supports pretend play and hand-eye coordination, so it is more than a noise maker.
When comparing toddler toy phones, check battery type, sound and durability. Choose the version according to whether you want a standard or rechargeable battery, and whether you want the lanyard.
If your toddler keeps reaching for your phone, a toy of their own is a simple and happy alternative. Supervise play and check the toy regularly.
