You ever want a talking usb penguin? I didn't think so but I made one anyways just because.

Step 1: Supplies

Supplies

- Voice recording playback module (greeting card ones work great)

- I-CY penguin ipod MP3 Player
These things were crap and annoying that's why I took mine apart

- Usb cable

- Color changing leds (you can get them on ebay lots of types)

- Tools

Step 2: Put It Togeather

The Usb cable powers the color changing leds I hooked them up in parallel and added a 1k resistor. The recording module got glued in the back of the battery pack and everything got hooked up accordingly.

Play button - hooked up to beak switch
Record button - hooked up to the tail switch
speaker - hooked up into the penguin's speaker
Record led - put in the clear tail
Microphone - hooked up to penguin's mic

Most of the moving parts like the wings and the feet got glued down. The usb cable got put through the penguins battery pack (butt)
