Simple record and play buttons offer the opportunity to record up to 30 seconds of high quality sound and play it back with ease, indoors or outside. The mirrored surface means children can see themselves speak when making a recording. A snap on clear cover allows pictures to be inserted for use in science investigation or language work. In addition there are three sound levels for use in classroom environments or outside and a 'record lock button' to protect important recorded information from being erased. The device is shower proof and comes with a wall mounting slot and magnets. Requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included).
