VISUALLY IMPAIRED GIRL JOINS EASTER EGG HUNTS THANKS TO DAD'S BEEPING CREATION

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -When Rachel Hyche was 19 months old, her dad, David, volunteered at an Easter egg hunt and brought her along. Rachel, who is blind, couldn't participate. Her dad decided to do something about it.

Hyche researched what was out there and found that the Blind Children's Center in Los Angeles was already hosting an Easter egg hunt with beeping Easter eggs. He contacted them to find out how it was done.

Then Hyche, who is a special agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms decided to use his expertise to bring the creation to life in Alabama. The dad told ABC News that his version is cheaper. All you need is a switch, a piezo beeper, a 9-volt battery and battery clip inside a plastic egg. It took him about 20 minutes per egg, he said.
