talking toys
Vocal children's companions
Talking toys are children's playthings that produce speech or sounds, typically through electronic components activated by buttons, pulls, or sensors.
The category ranges from dolls that say preset phrases to interactive toys that respond to voice commands: My daughter's talking toy kept repeating the same three sentences until the batteries died.
The phrase sometimes carries nostalgic or slightly eerie connotations, as malfunctioning talking toys feature prominently in horror films and childhood memories alike.
