Subject: Can you name this toy?
Written By: goin' nuts! on 01/03/03 at 01:15 a.m.
For some reason tonight, I thought of a little battery operated toy I had, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it, and I barely remember what it looked like/did, but here goes.
It was a small rectangle toy, a little larger than a credit card (but thicker). It had lots of buttons on it in a row. I can't remember if it was number, or if it was the alphabet (one letter on each key). You pressed a key, and it had its own note. If you entered a certain code (I believe this toy had a case with it that had these codes on it), it would play a song (for instance, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star).
Trying to think of the name of this toy is driving me nuts!! Can anyone help?
