Have you ever taken an old childhood teddy bear or any other soft toy and it made a sound that you are very much familiar with? Perhaps it told you, ‘I love you!’ or it sung a melody that would put you to sleep. Well, if you did, you are a lucky one since one of the most hidden and cherished technologies from our childhood days is the voice box in a stuffed animal.
This small object, which usually isn’t very important or may not even be noticed at some point in time, contains the key to how our beloved teddy bears and other toys were made. In the palm of your hand, this small, plastic gadget is what makes a regular stuffed animal almost seem alive. It is the soul of the toy, it is hidden but plays an essential role in generating the fun.
