    Abstract: A talking sticker includes a lower base material having an attachment layer attached to a bottom surface thereof; an acoustic element mounted on an upper surface of the lower base material; an actuation element electrically connected with the acoustic element to actuate it to make a sound; and an upper base material having a pattern printed on a surface thereof and assembled with the lower base material. After assembled, the acoustic element and the actuation element are enclosed between the upper base material and the lower base material. The actuation element may be a contact switch or a sensor. When the actuation element is actuated, the acoustic element can make a pre-defined sound. Additionally, the talking sticker further includes a signal emitter defined therein and a separate acoustic fitting. Upon receiving a signal from the emitter, an acoustic element of the separate acoustic fitting can make a pre-defined sound.
