A startup called [Toymail](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1809098181/toymail-we-send-mail-to-toys) has created a kind of intergenerational Twitter that connects adults and kiddos through talking toys. *Photo: Toymail*

[Toymail](http://toymailco.com/) consists of two components—a roster of five quirky plastic animals that connect to the web via Wi-Fi and an iPhone app that allows adults to record voicemail messages. The messages are passed through audio processing filters on Toymail's servers so it sounds like the child's companion animal is delivering the message. *Photo: Toymail*

Each animal comes with 10 free messages per month, but additional packets of "stamps" can be purchased in the iPhone app, 50 at a time for $0.99. *Photo: Toymail*
