Most clickers are small enough to fit in the palm in of a toddler. A typical clicker is about the size of a credit card, just slightly heavier. It has push buttons with numbers and letters and can be connected to a computer via a USB port.
The one I have seen and touched is manufactured by Turning Technologies. To see one, visit this site www.turningtechnologies.com, click on one of the dropdown menus (K-12 or Higher Education), then student clickers. On the site you can also sign-up to view full demonstrations on how clickers work.

What is a CLICKER?
A clicker (polling technology) is a radio frequency device that allows people to anonymously give responses to questions in any kind of setting – from television games shows like “who wants to be a millionaire” on ABC to a formal classroom or lecture hall. I was opportune to “play” with one during a professional development session organized by my school district last October. It is quite a good tool to use in the classroom; but will be much more effective with larger groups I think (just an opinion).
