[blindkid] FW: Talking Eggs

[Alyson Martinez]

These are super cute.  I got them for my son and for the school Easter egg hunt.  The voice says "I'm over here, come find me," and it will automatically turn off after 30 min unless you press the off button.  I went to Rite-Aid; FYI only the larger stores have them.
