FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TALKING EGG TOYS HATCH THIS SPRING - NO YOLK!

Techno Source Introduces Hide 'Em & Find 'Em EggsT, the Electronic Talking
Egg Hunt

New York - March 20, 2009 - Toy innovator Techno Source introduces Hide 'Em
& Find 'Em EggsT, 
colorful eggs that talk, giggle, and make silly noises as kids go on an
electronic egg hunt to 
find them.  Appropriate for children ages 2 and up, these electronic talking
eggs are sold 
individually (SRP: $4.99) and as 4-pack egg cartons (SRP: $14.99).  Hatched
just in time for 
spring, Hide 'Em & Find 'Em Eggs are available now at Rite Aid, Target and
Wal-Mart stores 
nationwide. "At Techno Source, we're always looking at ways technology can
enhance the 
way kids play," says Eric Levin, president, Techno Source.  "Hide 'Em & Find
'Em Eggs 
puts an electronic twist on the traditional egg hunt."
       

Simply press the on/off button on the eggs and hide them in creative places
to start the egg 
hunt fun.  For up to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are found, they will
shout phrases such 
as, "Yoo-hoo, I'm hiding!" and "I'm Over Here."  Once they are found, open
them up to see 
the cute bunny or baby chick inside and hear them say, "Surprise, You Found
Me!"  

"Hide 'Em & Find 'Em Eggs is the most fun game of hide and seek that I've
ever seen!" 
says Elizabeth Werner, chief toy officer, iVillage.com.  "These adorable
talking eggs entertain 
kids for hours at a time-my 7-year-old daughter and I have been having a
blast playing inside and out.  
Even better, Hide 'Em & Find 'Em Eggs give us clever parents a sure way to
remember exactly 
where they are hidden.  Extremely affordable, these electronic talking eggs
are the perfect 
addition to any Easter basket and offer "egg-citement" year-round."

Hide 'Em and Find 'Em eggs come in six different colors: pink, blue, purple,
yellow, green and 
orange.  The electronic eggs say five different phrases and make three
different sound effects.  
Hide 'Em & Find 'Em Eggs have enough room inside to hide candy or small
prizes and can be 
hidden indoor or outdoor.  Batteries included.
