Worth mentioning the Tin Can phone: https://tincan.kids/
All their batches are sold out, I guess it’s pretty popular. Interesting tidbit, it needs to be plugged in at all times, not meant to be mobile.

It lacks the features and network effects of the tin can system but is still pretty fun.
If you're handy with tech like most folks on this forum, you can do all this yourself through a voip provider for significantly less per month, but you don't get a nice app interface to configure and you'll have to scrounge and hack to get cute hardware for your kid.
