A miniature tape recorder for use by children. The recorder is normally incorporated in a toy, such as a doll, so that the child can speak to the toy, and thereafter playback, or repeat, the word or phrase spoken. During the record sequence, messages spoken into a microphone positioned within the toy, are recorded on a movable magnetic tape. The tape is caused to move in a first direction by means of a drawstring, and in a second direction by means of a constant force spring motor. During playback, the previously recorded message is reproduced.
