| Abstract: |
A tumbling toy including a housing forming a head portion, a ball disposed in the housing and a body portion being substantially more flexible than said housing and extending therefrom. A mechanism is formed in the housing for permitting the ball to pass into the housing while substantially restricting the ball from passing therethrough in the opposite direction. The toy also includes a layer of gripping material for preventing the toy from sliding on an incline without tumbling.
