Spy Gadgets for Children

Binoculars

• Binoculars aren't just to look at birds--they can also be a beginner spy tool for your child. Children can get a clear view of what's going on around them without being in the middle of the room. Binoculars can see great distances, some more than 200 feet. There are also binoculars with night vision capabilities so your child can even see in the dark.

Walkie Talkies

• A set of walkie talkies can keep multiple children in touch with one another while they are exploring or on a spy mission. These can work well for parents too. Parents can keep one while the child, or spy, explores his surroundings while still staying in contact with mom and dad during his adventure.

Spy Video Camera

• A spy camera will allow your child to record a video of whatever she is investigating. Spy cameras come in a number of forms. Some spy cameras look like buttons or brooches pinned to a shirt with a clip or magnet, while some look like regular sunglasses, and others can look like MP3 players. Some spy video cameras will record in black and white, and others will record in color; the preference is at the discretion of the parent or child. There is a camera for your child to use no matter his age, situation or who he will be spying on in the near future.

Voice Changers

• Voice changers are gadgets that distort your voice so you won't be recognized. Voice changers have adjustable settings that can change a voice a number of ways. These voice changers can make your voice sound low pitched and in slow motion, while other settings can make a voice sound high pitched like the Chipmunks from Alvin and the Chipmunks.
