So my 4yo son said to me "I want a computer, inside a pumpkin, with a microphone on tap, and a speaker on top, and a cable out of it, and we can talk through the pumpkin."

So I grabbed a few things
-a https://Libre.Computer LePotato I was gonna try to build a tablet with
-a speaker/mic I use for testing
-a battery pack

And so current status

My next step is to add a bunch of LEDs, and put it inside a lil' box. Then, put it into a pumpkin and leave it on our steps. Put some other custom lights in other pumpkins (scavenge them from kid's toys) and freak some kids out on Halloween.

My 4yo wants to run the mic some of the day.

To be clear - this is just Mumble running on the Le Potato and then another computer in my house, so I can just, talk into a mic inside

TIaL about the Potato computer. Almost, the https://libre.computer/ is #Javascrippled to the point of not showing anything.

@Bob Jonkman Yeah - I tried to download the image with lynx, and uh.... useless

But it's a fairly reasonable RasPi competitor

And look at the timeline on getting one:
