Beeping eggs that allow blind people to locate eggs by sound rather than by sight

About the solution

When Rachel Hyche was just a toddler, during the treat search teachers would guide her to the location of the egg and hold her hand over it. With her being an independent child, David decided to come up with his own method for her to join in the festivities. The father created a simple beeping egg that allowed Rachel to locate her eggs by sound rather than by sight.

Comprising of a battery, a battery clip and a switch-activated beeper to emit a noise, the eggs each cost around $12 (£8) to create. When she finds the hidden beeping egg, Rachel is allowed to exchange it for a chocolate egg by her parents.

The invention has proven so popular that the hunt has evolved from a private family tradition to an event that's held in six States, allowing vision-impaired children from around the country to participate.
