The classic Fisher Price Chatter Phone has been on my wishlist for a long time so I was overjoyed when The Handpicked Collection sent Holly one to review.
The Fisher Price Chatter Phone was selected for the Handpicked Collection because we all had one when we were young! But that isn't the only reason why I wanted a Chatter Phone for our household - Lara and Holly's grandparents have a more recent version of the Chatter Phone and despite being battered and worn, both girls love to play with it whenever we are there.
The appeal of the Chatter Phone obviously goes much further than role play because these days I am not sure that either of my girls would recognise the shape as a phone - Lara certainly didn't know what to do with the dial!
Lara likes to hold the ear/mouthpiece up to her face and talk into it but Holly just likes to grab the receiver. Holly also likes to watch as Lara pulls the phone along by the little string - the eyes move up and down and it makes a funny chattering noise which, when Holly hears it, makes her head turn in an instant.
The classic shape (slightly square) version of the Fisher Price Chatter Phone costs £14.95 from The Handpicked Collection who have loads of gift ideas.
