Description: Is it called the Fisher-Price Tape Recorder or the Fisher-Price Cassette Recorder? It's been called by both names (sold in boxes with both names), but the #826 recorder itself never changed. This battery-operated tape player is also a recorder with a built-in microphone. The player was sold with a cassette tape with sounds on one side and blank on other side to allow children to record their own sounds. Requires four C-size batteries (not included). Designed for children ages 5 years and older.
