- What age is the Learn with Elmo Phone for?
- It is aimed at children 2 and up. Younger toddlers can press the buttons, but the small parts and sounds suit the 2-to-4 range best.
- Does it need batteries?
- Yes, it runs on button-cell batteries that come installed. The battery door is screwed shut, so an adult needs a small screwdriver to change them.
- Does it have a screen or app?
- No. It is a plain plastic phone with buttons, a speaker and Elmo's voice. There is no screen, no app and no Bluetooth.
- Can you turn the volume down?
- No. There is no volume control, so the sound level is fixed. Some parents put tape over the speaker to soften it.
- How does it compare with a toy smartphone?
- It is simpler and sturdier than screen-based toy phones. It teaches cause and effect rather than letters or numbers, and it has far fewer activities.
- What comes in the box?
- The phone itself with batteries installed. Nothing else is needed to start playing.
