Dad creates special beeping eggs for blind daughter's Easter Egg Hunt

Nine years ago, David Hyche did something very special for his daughter - and now his ingenuity has started benefitting others.

David's daughter Rachel is blind and, when she was young, David didn't want her to miss out on anything - including Easter Egg hunts. So he designed and made beeping eggs that allowed her - and 11 other visually impaired children - to take part and search for hidden eggs.

The idea took off and now the eggs are provided to local schools for the blind who use them to improve their students' location skills.
