The toystick offers sound regulation and you can record your own texts or sound and use the stickers included to replay them, so you can leave messages for your children or use music and personal texts to make images come alive.  The range of toystick products includes the topics English, General Knowledge, Language Training, Entertainment and Mathematics. This range of topics is featured in several series like “Adventurous Rambles” or “Somewhat Different Reading” or “First Steps: Learning by Playing. Using the toystick is really child’s play – you tip the stick onto a an image in the book and the stick starts talking, singing, making music or asks questions.
