It is another object of the present invention to provide a figure toy which includes means for playing musical notes in a predetermined sequence by depressing different colored indicia provided on the figure toy.
According to the present invention, a figure toy having a body and appendages made of a compressible material covered with a flexible covering is provided with air-actuated reed-type sound producers.
The sound producers are tuned so that each one produces a different tone when the figure toy is compressed in the vicinity of a particular sound producer.
The sound producers are identified by colored indicia provided on the exterior surface of the flexible covering adjacent the sound producers.
The indicia may be depressed in a predetermined sequence to produce predetermined vowel sounds, musical notes or the like.
The figure toy may be filled with a soft polymeric foam and the air chambers for the reed-type sound producers may be made from the same material which is covered with an impervious covering to form a collapsible air chamber.
Additional colored indicia, corresponding to the indicia adjacent the sound producers, may be provided on a musical scale on the figure toy for defining a particular melody to be played by depressing selected ones of the indicia adjacent the sound producers.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims.
