Walkie Talkies
Exploring the category of walkie talkies brings up classic memories of chatter-filled afternoons spent racing around the backyard. But today’s walkie talkies are a far cry from those big, chunky, static-filled radios of the past - now available in heaps of bold, licensed designs. They’re totally transformed what might once have been a practical parent-to-child communication device, into a toy box staple.
Some have managed to take charm and coolness to a whole new level. The Gabbys Dollhouse Walkie Talkie is the perfect example, brightening up the device with not just Gabby’s famous cat ears, but a dash of sparkly pink purple too. If children already own the Gabby’s Dollhouse Purr-ific Playset or other Gabby’s Dollhouse collectible dolls, accessories and plush toys - then there really isn’t anything stopping them from transforming into Gabby at playtime. They simply take a walkie talkie, pop on the headband for a set of ears identical to Gabby’s and use the little doll included to really bring the adventures to life. Not convinced? There’s even five voice changing effects, sound effects and a cat-tastic song, to make things more magical. It’s also two-player, so parents can join in too.
For those who want to keep their walkie talkies a little more classic, there’s the Lilo & Stitch Walkie Talkie. They feature a simple press to talk function and a range of 80 metres - that means they’re just as reliable as they are totally adorable. And if this is about a child’s love for all things Lilo & Stitch, parents will adore that they have matching Lilo and Stitch walkie talkies for siblings and friends alike.
Then there’s VTech KidiGear Explorer Walkie Talkies Purple Pink, giving children a way to chat with a friend while out and about with friends and family, at school or on field trips. Packed full of child friendly features, there’s even a digital screen where little ones can send messages too, and use the real-time voice chat function. They can even enjoy built-in games together or use fun digital voice effects.
If children still love a bit of pink and purple, the Barbie Walkie Talkie Pink & Purple offers hours of fun and creative play too. With up to 100 meters range and hands-free push to talk function, these walkie talkies have an easy to use feature for young children that would rather not deal with too many buttons.
