Another solution can include talking teddy toy which produce audible message with activation of external sensor. Selection of message depends on external environmental conditions, such as temperature, current time of day and some random factors. Another solution can include a talking toy which has different inspirational, bible/biblical verses, messages and mini songs. SD card reader is used inside the toys and audio stored on the SD card is under parental control.
