Squeeze Toy Suggestion

LSC reference:  CM.ex.1.06

You mention a "squeeze to that makes different noises" as a possible element of the Childhood Communication Development exhibit.  My suggestion would be to create an interactive toy which is "programmable" by even a very small child.  This gives room for a child to create, not just listen and learn from an environment.  It's more of a constructivist approach.  An example of this is below.  As you squeeze the bird, a "chirp" is made which varies in pitch depending on how hard you squeeze.  When you play back the chirp, it repeats the "custom" chirp that you have made.  I will bring this prototype to the meeting.
