Don't get all mad at me, y'all, if it's been great for your kid, but I'd be a little sad to watch my daughter constantly talk to herself rather than pretend to talk to her grandparents or someone else. I suppose it might be entertaining to hear yourself talk for a couple minutes, though. I guess that means I'm iffy about it for the average kid...</p> Looks kind of fun, and somewhat useful, but maybe a little bit sad to me.

I think the kids use them to whisper their answers to themselves without the class getting loud. <br /> The teacher made them herself with three pieces of PVC piping - two 90 degree bend pieces and one short, straight piece in between. If you make your own, you can make whatever size you want. A REALLY long one could be fun for whispering to other people from room to room...</p> My daughter’s math teacher uses these in her class sometimes.
