How To Make A Toy Telephone To Play?
February 16th, 2010 by admin | Filed under toys.I’m trying to make a toy phone. I was going to make one of those regular phones that children make using two yogurt cups and a string but then I remembered Yahoo Answers and decided to see if anyone has a sugestion on the topic.

You can get small speakers at an electronics store, like Radio Shack. These can act as both transmitters and receivers. When you speak into a speaker it vibrates a permanent magnet within a coil which generates an electrical current.

Good question!
