In this guide, we show how to switch enable Talking 123 Cookie Monster.

Remember, you may need to re-package these so open them carefully!!!!

1. Cut tap at the rear back of the box on each side and the top of the box.
2. Unwrap straps but leave the straps on the box and re-attach them after removing Cookie.

3. Take out the speech device from the back [If doing similar toys, label it Cookie with a Sharpie (Elmo has the same case and you don’t want to get them mixed up!!!)].

4. Unscrew all 5 screws.

5. We need to create a place for the jack assembly to enter the control box.  To modify the box cut one of the screw holes guides and drilling out the other one.

6. Create a 3.5mm (1/8) “Free Hanging” Stereo Jack (adapted to mono-configuration) which a switch will plug into.
