This personalized phone toy is available from Etsy's Keepsake Toys shop. The eco-friendly accessory encourages play time and builds your child's imagination more than a real tech device would.
While tablets and mobile phones are equipped with learning apps and games that broaden young minds, new generations are spending an increased amount of time in front of screens. Though modern technology is second nature to these younger generations, their screen time can often take away from social activities and outdoor play with other kids their age.
Inspired by a smartphone, this eco phone toy encourages interactive and imaginative play. The durable accessory is great for toddlers, is break-proof and can be custom-engraved with the name of one's child.
