TALKING 

This category of toys is relatively small but we think that they have a place in the toy library . They either:

• Tell stories
• Sing nursery rhymes/ditties
• Sing or say the alphabet
• Encourage the child to record their voice
• Play music, or stories (adapted cassettes players)

Unfortunately, the story-telling toys are usually based on Disney, cartoon or TV characters so there are age-appropriateness issues for the older intellectually unimpaired youngsters.

Often the toys speak with an American accent although increasingly, toys use standard English.
