With simple record and play buttons this 4.75" Sound Mirror provides kids with the opportunity to record up to 30 seconds of sound and play it back with ease. The microphone pick-up and recording quality are of a high standard providing excellent clarity. The design is simple and intuitive with big buttons. Children can see themselves speak when they are making a voice recording. The snap on clear cover means that pictures can be inserted into the device for use in science investigation or in language work. On the back there is the option to select one of three sound levels for use in different classroom environments or outside and a 'recording lock button' to protect important recorded information from being over-written for example when linked to a classroom static display. The device comes with a wall mounting slot and magnets. Requires 3 AAA batteries.
