I think they are a great idea - imagine having no more lost teddy bears! My
3 y.o. has about 30 teddy bears and other stuffed toys, so I would need 30
phones! She likes playing randomly with the buttons on phones, so imagine
how many random phone calls the toddlers could make all over the world
whilst they are at child care. What a very brave new world we are in, and
guess who would benefit from the phone call charges. I am always losing my
keys, so I'd like a GPS key ring phone for myself.
