Toobaloo Headset

By Learning Loft, Inc.
Price $2.95
Age 5+

This hands-free headset is designed to attach to all Toobaloos. The Toobaloo, also produced by the headset's manufacturer, Learning Loft, Inc., is a device that allows children to hear themselves clearly, even when speaking at a soft volume. The Toobaloo is hollow, shaped a bit like the handle on a suitcase, and is open at both ends. The student speaks with their mouth at one end and ear at the other. Despite there being no technology involved, the device produces a startling clarity of sound, and students who use it gain confidence in reading, comprehension, and speaking skills, as well as greater clarity of speech in general. It's also helpful for actors and other performers seeking to produce greater nuance with the spoken word. Both the headset and Toobaloo weigh very little, and the hands-free use enables students to turn pages, write, or gesture dramatically while speaking, singing, or reading.
