Have you ever seen camera operators on the sidelines at sporting events, holding a large dish-shaped object toward the playing field? That's a parabolic disc that collects sound waves from distant sources and focuses them so you can hear sounds that are far away. Our junior listening device illustrates that principle while letting kids hear distant wildlife up close or pretend to be spies, picking up secret sounds even if they're whispered from the other side of the room.

It's lightweight and can be operated with one hand. You can even connect it to a recording device with an appropriate patch cord (not included). It also has a loud noise cutoff to protect kids' hearing from picking up and amplifying sudden loud sounds.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—small parts not for children under 3 years.

Ages 6 and up. 8 1/2" diameter x 8"D. Two AA batteries, not included.
