A toy particularly useful for speech therapy and including visual display means actuated in response to sounds produced into a microphone. In one form the visual display is a monkey which is suspended on a vertical pillar by a thread passing over pulleys or by magnets attracted to other magnets mounted for movement within the pillar. The microphone is connected to an electrical circuit adapted to drive an electric motor in a forward direction thereby raising the monkey up the pillar when an acceptable sound is produced. The circuit is adjustable to redefine an acceptable sound and may be adapted to lower the monkey immediately an acceptable sound ceases or after a preset delay.
