Beeping Easter Eggs? Orlando Bomb Squad Makes the Holiday Special for Visually Impaired Kids
Here’s a story that hits you right in the pastel-painted feels.
This Easter, the Orlando bomb squad went above and beyond the call of duty — and not for defusing danger, but for delivering joy. In a heartwarming twist on a classic tradition, they hosted an Easter egg hunt for visually impaired children, complete with specially designed beeping eggs.
You heard that right — beeping eggs.
Instead of relying on bright colors and sharp eyes, these eggs used sound to guide the kids to their holiday treasures. The event allowed dozens of children to join in the springtime fun, no eyesight required — just ears, excitement, and a basket to fill.
The inspiration? One of the bomb squad’s own first responders has a daughter who’s visually impaired. Wanting her — and kids like her — to experience the same childhood joy others take for granted, the team decided to make Easter more accessible.
Using their tech skills (and a whole lot of heart), the squad wired the plastic eggs with tiny audio devices that let out a rhythmic beeping, helping kids locate them by sound alone. Think less “danger detection” and more “joy navigation.”
Parents and children alike called the event a game-changer, with smiles, giggles, and even a few happy tears. For some of these kids, it was their first-ever Easter egg hunt — and definitely one they won’t forget.
It’s a beautiful reminder that sometimes the biggest heroes wear bomb squad gear… and carry candy-filled eggs.
