Tin Can

My neighborhood went in on Tin-Can landlines for our kids this winter, and it was the best move ever. My 8yo can call her other friends to plan playdates and learn general phone etiquette, and I can control the hours and contacts on the app. These things are gonna sweep. Here’s to keeping Gen Alpha off smartphones and social media and having a flourishing childhood of imagination and play.

“Need, want, have to have that old-school 90s feeling of twirling the cord around my finger while I gab to my best friend for two hours after being with her all day. And this experience is crucial to my kiddo's upbringing as well!”

“It is truly a hoot teaching an 8 year old how to work a 📞. Highly recommend filming the first phone call and watching the learning curve in real time.”

“I highly recommend getting your kid a Tin Can phone and making them create a Rolodex of people they can call. ☎️ And if you’re extra psycho, print out calling cards.”
