It’s Not A Spork, But A Spoon. A Singing Spoon!

It’s was back in July 2003 when Wee Talk, Inc. introduced talking and singing utensils. The idea was to help motivate and educate kids. I used two of their devices, Brushy Brushy, The Musical Talking Toothbrush which was aimed at kids ages 18 months and up (it sang a tune to remind kids to brush every day.) But my favorite is Yucky Yucky The Singing Get-Well-Spoon! Although it sat alone & unplayed in Dick’s Gadget Warehouse for more than 6 years, when I took out the batteries, cleaned them up and put them back in, it still worked! It sings a tune for sick kids ages 6 months and up, encouraging them to take their medicine and feel better soon. It had two interchangeable spoon bowls that plugged into the talking handle. One was a regular spoon and the other was a measuring spoon to help the parent get the right amount of medicine into the child. I never did get to see or play with Groomy Groomy Singing Brush and Comb. That was a hairbrush and comb designed to help children ages 3 months and up to develop good grooming habits. (What good would a hairbrush do me now, anyway?) The retail was $7.99 each, a pretty good price for some fun gadgets. I still see a company called Wee Talk on Google, and they make educational books & games, so it could be the same company. Not a sign of any talking or singing utensils, though. Too bad!

Do you know where I can purchase one of these? My grown daughter had one when she was little & I am looking to get her one for Christmas. I've tried Amazon and Ebay...no luck. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
