isher Price first released the toy “chatter telephone” in 1961. You know, the one with the red receiver, blinking eyes and a cheerful smile. Chances are, whether you did your dialling in brown flares, denim overalls or unicorn-print tights, you’ve seen or played with one.

As I’ve seen with my own children, who make imaginary calls to the vet and place outrageous takeaway pizza orders, Jules also sees the phone as a great opportunity for building language skills.
