I Can't Make Bindi Irwin Stop Talking to Me 

If you are interested in this toy you can find it here. amzn.to/3EveJMO

All children toys need a mandatory mute button.

Pro Tip from someone that grew up surrounded by younger cousins and deals with migraines - before you give any toy with audio, take a piece of super clear tape like packing tape (I prefer desk tape like Scotch - the fully clear kind as it's slightly thinner) and put a piece of it across the speaker holes covering all of them. Test the sound, you can use a bobby pin to pop open one hole at a time or a portion of slits, whatever it has if you find the audio is too quiet, but usually you don't have to make any adjustment other than adding tape because of the absurd high volume of all kids toys. The kid won't know the difference, you won't be annoyed three rooms away and bonus it helps kids keep their own volume down by not being blasted by noise or having to yell over it. Ya welcome. ✊️

The look when Bindi passive aggressively asked if she had fallen asleep 😆💀

Being able to shut off the sound on most toys is imperative for sanity

I established a solid rule several years back with my MIL. All obnoxiously loud toys that she bought must stay at her house and she can enjoy them with my kid when she visits. This rule also applied to creepy toys like the 3 foot tall doll that walked on its own. It's amazing how quickly she stopped buying those type of toys.

I’ve never wanted to not learn about sand so much in my life. That was maddening to experience second hand

"Son of a me" 😂😂😂😂

I cannot understand why no-one in the Bindi Makes Toys camp was like "Hey, would we sell more of these if you maybe weren't ALWAYS talking?!"

On the Bendi talking microscope: as a child we really enjoyed making our own slides from the world around us. Exploring, noticing things and finding things to look at under the microscope. That was the main fun of it! Unfortunately, the main component here is lost by having only slides that are already filled with samples and none that aren’t. My son had a Smithsonian one for about $20 from Target. It was SO MUCH more realistic and full of features than this one. You could adjust the microscope to peer deeper and deeper into an unknown universe of everyday life. My brother and I had so much fun with our little microscope even though it wasn’t as advanced as my son’s. Looking at drops of rainwater or tap water, or algae from the pond and pond water, the wing of a butterfly we found, pricking a finger for a tiny drop of blood, or a booger, or the stem of a flower, clay or mud, basically everything that makes it fun and a toy to compel your kids to explore their world, through a microscopic lens, noticing tiny things they might have taken for granted. With this microscope you get none of that. It defeats the purpose. We all love Bindi, but... I guess from seeing how far these toys have come in thirty years, and now 13 since my son was born, I was expecting much more. Like something really high tech, where the AI in the microscope (In Bindi Irving’s voice) was able to identify what you placed under your microscope and tell your kids about it. Apps can identify species of animals and plants - so why not do something like that with a microscope and a way to upload photos of whatever your samples are from?? It could reference the internet through your phone, to find matches to the samples and provide facts on each one and maybe tell cheesy jokes about nature. Even simple things, (maybe not identify a type of sand composition but simply give some facts about it like, ‘Look how sharp or round the particles are!’ Or, for say a moth wing she might give random facts about how they fly, or why light disorients moths who use it for sense of direction, they aren’t simply drawn to flames or lights... something like that. Even if it had slides you can fill and examine without her talking, your child could explore on his own and you could at least have an educational conversation with your kids... or maybe I just need to design this?? The point is to inspire, engaging them in the unseen world right in their back garden and to give them an enhanced appreciation of all that depends on our roles to heal the earth 🌍 This microscope doesn’t even outrank the one my brother and I had as children.

Bindi would have a complaint as well as a mother. Let her know 😂

Thank you!! Exactly the kid of toy I'd cluelessly buy my boy and end up HATING for the lack of a mute button - seriously toy manufacturors should include a silent mode!! 💗 LOVE that you're doing this series!

I've learned to use Blue painter's tape over the speakers. It won't leave a residue and if you do it neat enough then it'll look like part of the device and hopefully kids won't peel it off. You can also use clear packing tape if you don't care and just want that volume down

I work at a preschool and we have a couple of these. Try listening to this all day long!

😂🤣🤣 I am so glad my kids are grown. I used to fold up a paper towel and cover the speaker and tape it like a mad woman to keep the volume down. I never understood why they make toys so freaking LOUD 🤯

This actually was hilarious 😂😂

My mom is still traumatised by furbies & tamagotchis.

Not even a parent but obsessed with this kind of relateable content, this is why RU-vid is so wonderful

Well this was super fun and informative, thanks Gwenna! Do I have a child to buy this for? No. Has that ever stopped me haunting GreatBigToybox or anyone else's toy reviews? Also no. It's my plastic free playtime, vicarious fun for all! P.S. requesting further chaos lunches when inspiration strikes the Great and Terrible Master of the Bluey Box - we absolutely love those videos, you two are delight incarnate. My BFF suggests a deconstructed spaghetti bolognese. He also lives in chaos.

An honest review where the person reviewing is unprepared. I can feel the annoyance at having to get the tools and batteries. Love it.

You're the perfect person to do "honest kid toy reviews" 😂 there's a kids my son watched that use to show his Elmo collection/DVDs and now as an older is "destroying Elmo" videos (don't you judge me...😆) I think this toy should follow that path

Your analysis and editing and explanation was spot on. Nothing worse than toys that don’t shut up!!

😅😂 My kids are thankfully too old for this stuff. It's hilarious watching you though. Those talking toys were the bane of my existence when my kids were little. Not to mention the Fur-real pets. My daughter had a panda and it would still reach up for me and talk with no batteries (I took them out!) which nearly gave me a heart attack every time I went in my daughter's room. 🤣

Nothing like the side review on battery packaging! Lol. And Bindi's bossy, lol!! Any talking or singing toy my hubby vetoes. Or he, an electrical engineer, will take it apart and muffle the speaker.

I love this type of series!!!! Finally a review that's useful.

I'm so glad you reviewed this. I saw this on Amazon yesterday when I was looking for gifts for my granddaughter. I thought it looked cool so glad I didn't purchase it.

Okay. I love this review. I love how this is a toy review for mama. Rather than for just the kiddos. Also love that it's a "how to actually unbox these toys without wanting to rip your hair out" tutorial.

I don't have little kids anymore (mine is 20 now, when did that happen???) but I got a huge kick out of watching you deal with this thing. I appreciate that you were able to give it an objective review on the good aspects even after being severely (and very reasonably) tested by the never-ending voiceover. I'm not sure I could have been so kind. 😉 Sharing this to my Facebook page for my younger mom friends.

I dont have kids but I follow you, loved this video, and think this is a fantastic idea for people with kids. The unfortunate situations my parents got themselves into buying me shit in the 90s that they then had to murder while I slept were numerous and I am sure they wished people like you were making content back then. Keep at it Gwenna!

Hi Gweena thankyou for the review as a Grandmother of 7 I now know what not to get my grandbabys because these would be coming to my house after 2 days of them getting obnoxious toys lol

Ah perfect now I know the most annoying toys to get my nieces xD

Why did “did you fall asleep?” put me into an immediate rage?

Just a suggestion if you want to make it shut up. Once the kids have played with it enough to have gone through all the slides and info Bindi wants to tell them about, one night after the kids are in bed, take the microscope and unscrew the bottom (I don’t know if it unscrews but most of these types of things do,) then just snip the wires for the speaker. Presto you have the light still working when it is on and the speaker no longer screams at you in her little kid bossy voice. When the kids discover this, you can act as surprised as they are that the speaker broke and they will lay with just the microscope part of it going forward. After 4 kids, I have disconnected many speakers over the years from noisy toys that had other functions, or that I absolutely hated. Oops, it’s broken, but you can still play with these features. Although for the price,a normal kids microscope that is on the sturdy side that lights using a mirror and light source and that has blank slides the kids can put stuff on themselves is actually better in the long run. I had one of those types from the time I was 5 years old as a kid, I spent many hours as a kid looking at all sorts of stuff through it. Pretty sure my younger brother ended up with it and that my parents still had it 35 years later. Lol

By the time count 3:38 my anxiety level was getting really up there. I am so glad my children are grown, and money is the way to their heart!

It’s like Bindi’s microscope is what Baby Talk grew up to be. Anyone else remember that toy talking incessantly and awkwardly?

You always make me giggle. Nobody can make me giggle. Hey, I'm loving your haircolor!

My kiddos are all grown and no grandchildren on the way but I thoroughly enjoyed this and wished you were around to review all the crappy toys my kids wanted. 😂❤

So my youngest is 16, but i can’t get enough of these toy reviews! My young-mom self would have been so grateful to have these, for myself and for my ex😣 sending furbies and those hamster things that made random noises from the bottom of the toy box in the middle of the night 😱 WHY ARE SOME TOY MAKERS SADISTS???

I am so freaking excited for these reviews lol

"Shaaaameee" I feel this with every noisy kids toy

This would the perfect gift for the child of your worst enemy!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 I lost my shit!

My god if Steve had one of these, Even my Dad would get tired of it for awhile.

“Bit€h!!” I literally lost it… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I mean it's a pretty accurate representation of Bindi. She is gorgeous, and I love her and Bob-Bob so much, but they are Australian, and Australians love the sound of their own voices. This toy would drive me insane, because I have asperger's syndrome, I don't do lots of talking, and the Australian accent just grinds on my nervous system, I can't help it, it's just the way that im wired. You're a very brave mumma! Happy season from Nelson, New Zealand ❤️🎄

By the end of it I wanted to tell bindi to "catch me outside!" 🤣😂🤣😂That's a no toy🤣😂🤣

I'm sorry but the "BITCH..." got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Son of a…meeee… 😂 oh, Gwenna, you’ve given me a new appropriate way to cuss in front of young kids😂

Hahaha when she said did you fall asleep 🤣🤣🤣🤣

SHHHAAAAMMMMEEE. You should have had that part on Game of Thrones 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely the gift for the kiddo who is interested in animals and science. And the parent who you hate. Lol that’s a win win.

Omg we need this kind of review for all toys! Absolutely frigging awesome!

SonofaME 😂

I am an Oma and I bought this for my grandson. I am not thrilled about the talking but he is ruff with things and this will hold up. Cuz Oma has to have toys at her house too.

These are the reviews we needs as parents

I'm so excited for this!!!

After all it does say right there on the box and in the name of the toy lol, talking microscope haha, lol. Love From Scotland xxxx

Loved this, you did amazing informative while also being very funny thank you for your energy and your realness, big hug hope it continues

ROFLMAO... This review is fantastic! I don't have kids, but I can currently appreciate a fun and honest review.

Magic Mixie! I've already purchased one and have watched dozens of reviews on it but I would LOVE to see you do it

You should make the title.."I bought all the hottest toys this year so you don't have to"

Only halfway thru & laughing sooo hard! This is fantastic! 😃

I never expected that hearing someone shout “B*ch!” at Bindi Irwin would make me laugh so hard 😂

Need more of these! Any toy!

I'm not even looking to buy these toys. I just enjoy Watching you. You funny. 🤣

This is brilliant! Wish I had a channel like this when I was buying my kids Christmas toys!

Genius! More please!

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED THIS MICROSCOPE! I was a huge Steve Irwin fan and I watched Bindi The Jungle Girl when it was on DiscoveryKids. I'm going to buy it for my kids and show it to them and supervise play, and then put it away and save it for when they are older. (they are 4 and 2 now) I really really want this toy!

This was absolutely hilarious!! 😂😂 I was waiting for you to do an oops and break it

This is an awesome series ❤️❤️ even for people without kids hehe thank you so much!!

If my kids got that microscope, I'd either return it, or open it up and cut the speaker wires. XD

"Bitch!...... bossy!" I lost it. Had to watch that part a few times. I just love you!

I need more of these in my life!!

Oh dear lord, no. That toy could be way fun but the constant talking would drive me nuts!!!

Omg I nearly died when you yelled at her and said “BITCH”! 😂

Oh, son of a ME! 😂😂😂 with every video I love you more 😘

gonna wait for the beauty products reviews ... I'll be just over here 💄 😂

"Did u fall asleep?" 🤣🤣 I'm dead 🤣🤣 Girl, you're gonna throw that shit straight out the door before this tutorial's even over, I would 😆😆 Can you mute it or turn her ass down 🤔

I greatly enjoyed this and laughed the whole time.

Absolutely love this! Do more.

I just wanted to say, I really enjoyed your review and straightforward approach no fuss just here it is and this is what it does. Thankyou.

THIS MADE ME ROFLAO! Especially when she said , "B!sh"! Lol

This is literally the best toy review ever

This is the best series. 👌 I can't stop after watching the magic creature get slammed on the table.

Microscope gets 0 stars for me! I agree with other commenters that the fun of a microscope is exploring and finding things we want to see closer up! I used to have my boys draw pictures of what they THOUGHT an item would look like microscopically. It was cool to see how their “guessed “ pics” changed as they realized how different items looked using the microscope. I really miss those days!

Lmfao 😂I love this channel so much

This is a great idea!! I have the same thoughts whenever my small one wants something...luckily this year he really only wants a walkman(he's 8) and some mixed cassette tapes to play in it....the issue with that will be finding the tapes and filling them with his favorite songs...please do more toys though! This was very enjoyable as always

Love your videos! I wish you lived near me! You seem so fun,real and maybe one actual " mom friend "I could relate to!

I’m a Gma of a 5 & 12 year old. I’ve never heard or seen this toy! Thanks for sharing your review

Excellent review 👍 Valuable to a consumer! Thank you!

"Are you going to do that every time ma'am??" Me when my fiancé's Siri goes off when we're driving

My daughter is 33 I wish you around back then. keep up the good work.

Best ever.....my kiddos would say mind your business and we know already Bindi. Mute is precious. They would just keep doing it to piss me off

The best part of the review is the honesty of having to get up and get 10 extra times to things to get it to work. As a mom of 5 I definitely have done my ups and downs.

Finally! My search is over....the ultimate revenge toy for the person in your life with kids! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love how it’s advertised as a talking microscope…and there’s anger about it actually talking to you. Hehe.

This is insanely useful. Thank you. My son is pretty oppositional, I can already imagine his “NO,” whenever Bindi bosses him around.

Im not a mom but im 23 and reliving my inner childhood buying and collecting some cool toys I wished I'd had, I'd love to see your review on maybe Rainbow High dolls? Calico Critters & playsets!! I love your channel, and videos! You're awesome! Much love!

This is where dad comes in, finds the speaker, and performs an electrical exorcism :3

My younger (by 12 years, for context) sibling had lots of noisy toys and a tablet loaded with lots of noisy games. I always wish toys like these gad mute or a headphone jack so the rest of the world could keep its sanity. It wasn’t never pleasant to be doing homework than to hear a fisher price guitar go off every five minutes. When I was allowed to drive places with them after I got my license, the rule in my car was wear headphones, turn off the sound, or listen to what I turn on. For the record we would agree on a music/ Audiobook/ podcast for kids before we leave. I gave one warning and then I would pull off into a parking lot and take the noisy thing away for the rest of the drive. We would then try again the next time we got in my car to go home or whatever. I would take it away as I got distracted easily by random sounds and lights that made me feel unsafe driving. Their parents and I agreed on the rules and my sibling and I would remind of the rules and choose music before leaving.

"Ah, Son of a Me", I'm dead! 💀
