Chat cuddle recorder added value: Interaction and alertness

Imitates sounds and words
The recorder cuddly toy squirrel looks like a nice cuddly toy at first. But when you turn on the recorder, it imitates everything you say as soon as you stop talking. Of course, it not only imitates the words you say, but also the sounds you make. It also wobbles its head. That gives a funny effect. It entices you to say something yourself or make a slightly different sound as soon as the recorder cuddly toy has stopped.
Listen well and vary naturally
I noticed that you don't keep saying the same thing - although you know of course that it's just a recorder - but that you start varying with 'crazy' sounds, tone and pitch. It irresistibly provokes interaction and trying out words and sounds. The funny thing is that I noticed that my alertness also improved by trying out sounds. You automatically start listening well to how your sounds are imitated and vary with that.
Interaction is added value
I think almost all children will like this recorder cuddly toy, but for children who do not speak well or speak little, or have difficulty with interaction, there is a clear added value. There are probably also older children or adults with a mental disability, and elderly people with dementia who can have a lot of fun with this cuddly toy. In addition to the fun, the influence it can have on alertness is possibly important.
Various animals can be ordered as a recorder cuddly toy or chat cuddly toy.
