How It Works

Press It. Hear It. Say It. Repeat It. They pick a card and push it in. BabbleBee™ says the word. They say it back, or just listen, and press the next one. Animal cards play the animal sound too. A repeat button plays the word again.

      1. Day 1: The first card
        • Yours will probably grab an animal
        • Card in, "cat", card out, card in again
        • You won't get to the leaflet
      2. Day 3: The kitchen floor
        • They sit by the oven with the box of cards while you cook
        • You hear "cow", a moo, then "cow" again
        • Nobody has asked for your phone
      3. Week 2: The same ten cards
        • Truck, dog, banana, on repeat, in the car and at the restaurant
        • Boring for you
        • Exactly what they want
      4. Month 1: Beating the card to it
        • They start saying the word as the card goes in, before the reader does
        • Then a real banana gets pointed at in the shop
      5. Month 2: Still in the rotation
        • Most toys last a weekend
        • This one is still getting carried from room to room and packed into the car bag
      6. Day 60: Keep it or send it back
        • If it's not the toy your child reaches for, send it back
        • Full refund, free US returns
        • No forms, no fuss
      6 Reasons Why

      BabbleBee is Different From Every $9 Talking Toy

      Each one is a complaint we read about the $9 toy, fixed.

      Every word checked
      Thick, coated cards
      Sized for two small hands
      Charges like the first time
      Two volume settings
      Printed box for the cards
      The $9 talking toy
      Says one word, shows another
      Cards that tear
      Itty-bitty tiny reader
      Dead on the second charge
      One loud setting
      Cards under the couch

      BabbleBee™ vs. The $9 Talking Toy

      • Every word checkedEvery word in both sets is played and listened to before it ships. If a word is ever wrong, we replace it and we fix it.
      • Built for real little handsThick, coated cards, a reader sized for small hands, two volumes, and a printed box the cards live in.

      What Parents Are Saying

      A card goes in. The word comes out. The tablet stays in the bag. Real homes, no script.

      Questions, answered

      Why does BabbleBee™ start at $54.99 when I can buy talking cards for $9?

      Because the $9 ones are the reason this exists. Parents told us about wrong words, cards torn in five minutes and readers dead on the second charge. We fixed those three things, added a real 60-day guarantee and put our name on the box. If it doesn't earn its price in your house, send it back.

      What is the difference between the Starter and the Full set?

      Only the cards. The Starter set has 224 picture words on 112 double-sided cards. The Full set has 510 picture words on 255 double-sided cards. Same reader, same card box, same guarantee. You pick the set above the bundles.

      What makes BabbleBee™ different?

      Someone checked it. Every word in both sets gets listened to before it ships, and the reader and the cards were built around what toddlers actually do to them.

      Does it need Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or an app?

      No. Nothing to pair, nothing to download, nothing to pay monthly. Charge it by USB and hand it over.

      How many words are included?

      You choose. The Starter set has 224 picture words on 112 double-sided cards. The Full set has 510 picture words on 255 double-sided cards. The reader is the same in both.

      How big is it? The cheap ones are tiny.

      The reader is 4.1 by 3.5 inches, about a phone turned sideways. Big enough for two small hands to hold and push a card into, small enough to live in the car bag. Not the itty-bitty one.

      Is it rechargeable? How long does the battery last?

      Yes, by USB. Several days of normal play on a charge, with a light that shows it's charging. Cable's in the box.

      Is it loud? I don't want the piercing kind.

      Two settings. Low for the kitchen, the restaurant and bedtime. High for the car. Nobody needs clear tape over the speaker.

      What age is it for?

      We'll put the tested age grade here, word for word, the day the lab report is in our hands. Until then: almost every family buying this kind of toy has a two-year-old.

      Is it safe for a toddler?

      Thick, rounded cards and a reader with nothing small to pull off. We publish the safety test report on this page the day we have it, and we won't claim a standard we can't show you. Keep the cable with the grown-ups, like any charger.

      What if a card gets lost, bent or chewed?

      Email us and we'll sort it out. No forms.

      When will it arrive?

      Free shipping across the US. Delivery dates show at checkout, and we'll post the Christmas cut-off here in November.

      Which languages does it come in?

      Six sets: English only, English + Spanish, English + German, English + French, English + Italian and English + Russian. You pick the language for each set next to the colour. The English set has one clear American voice on every card; the bilingual sets say each word in both languages.

      Will it help my child talk?

      We don't promise that, and we'd be careful with any toy that does. What it does is say the word, clearly, every time your child pushes a card in. What they do with it is up to them.

      What if my child does not use it?

      Then send it back. You have 60 days, returns are free in the US, and you get a full refund.

      Where do the cards go?

      Back in the printed box they came in. It's in the set, so the cards have a home from day one.

      What is included?

      The reader, your cards in their printed box (224 picture words on 112 cards, or 510 picture words on 255 cards), a USB charging cable and the instruction leaflet.

      "Great word learning tool"

      best for age 2, when words are starting to be repeated, a great tool, and the toddler can actually work this game themselves after initial instructions. if they install the card wrong, it reminds them audibly to try installing again.

      "Great low-stimulation educational device"

      This is actually a really fun toy. My toddler is obsessed with cars and has loved going through all the vehicle cards so far and listening to each of them one after the other. … If you are looking for something to help your child associate text and images with the sound, I would recommend this, but don't expect them to be suddenly spouting off new words without you also participating and interacting with them. This is a great toy in that it isn't over stimulating like many sound/interactive books or reading devices.

      My kid loves these and has learned so many words. It would be a nice upgrade if they put the barcode on both sides so even if they put it upside down it still works. The battery life is really good. I recommend buying the largest quantity of cards.

      "Good but not what I expected"

      I bought this set previously and loved it. We lost a few cards so I purchased another. My only complaint is that this set (224 words) does not include numbers, letters or the days of the week. Lucky I still have those from the other set so be mindful to order the larger set if you want those.
