These beeping eggs were made by bomb technitions (yeah, I know) so that blind kids could hunt for holiday eggs too. They cost $11.50 each. Sigh. Wouldn't blind kids who are familiar with their surroundings be able to hunt for eggs by feel? Assuming you'd check the area for safety first, but, really? I'd think they could find the eggs just like sighted kids do. And why should anyone pay $11.50 for an egg held together with scotch tape? You can buy beeping toys at the Dollar Store for a buck. I should know, Lissa has a ton of the irritating things. I think parents of blind kids are gettting ripped off here.

Beeping egg, for blind kids

Just do regular dyed eggs about a week early and the blind kids and find them using their highented sense of smell...duh.
Are sighted kids aloud to pick them up?
It was also training for the bomb squad. The idea is, if you can put them together, you should be able to take them apart. We know all bombs are made the same. (???) But, I guess it's a start.
I taught a blind child and was amazed at what he could do. He had a good sense of humor.
OT...I'm watching Celebrity Apprentice. Gary Busey is aggravating Meatloaf and he exploded.I like them both so I hate to see that. Meatloaf later truly apologized and of course I cried. Lil Jon is showing a personality I didn't expect. I don't know any thing about his talent.
And Star is just plan irritating but Nene is putting her in her place. I think Star can't stand that she was not selected project manager of the art projects.
You'd think they'd find them just like we do--by stepping on them.
