they send mail to toys

We’re fortunate that we don’t spend a lot of time away from each other in my small little family of 3. But every time I travel, or my husband travels, I feel that burden of losing touch with Birdie. Plus, her grandparents and extended family are too far for daily contact.

Imagine if you could take the ease of text messaging with your favorite grown-ups, and shrink it down to a kid-friendly level. That’s the beauty of Toymail’s Mailmen. With an app on your phone, and a Mailman Toy in your favorite kiddo’s possession, you can chat all day long. Record your message through the app, and the toy snorts and growls to alert the child that a message is waiting. Then they can listen to it, and respond by talking to the toy. That recorded message shows up in your app. Communication made simple.

I love that you can change the voices, and the design of each animal is super cool. Each of the Mailmen is equipped with their own wi-fi, so they’ll work anywhere in the house, and their flexible surface makes them huggable too. It almost makes me want to travel more. Ok, maybe not, but I suppose I could always message her from the grocery store?
