www.reflectionsonlearning.co.uk

Get children chatting outdoors with Talking Tubes, from Reflections on Learning. Handsets are connected by hollow tubes, made from strong plastic. The phones come with connectors to either extend the length of the tube (the 'in-line connector') or to divide the tube two ways (the 'Yconnector').

The basic set (£14.99) comprises two handsets and 3m of tubing; additional tubes and connectors are available for £14.99. The Telephone Exchange set (£49.99), designed for schools, has eight handsets, over 20m of tubing and six 'Y' and six 'in-line' connectors, enabling up to eight children to communicate within the same network or be divided into pairs.
