ABSTRACT:
A toy door assembly for covering a portal comprises a panel member, a door member, a doorway defined within the panel member, a hinge connecting the door member to the panel member for opening and closing the doorway, and support structure integral with the panel member for supporting the panel member when in use. The panel member comprises a central panel portion, opposite sides extending generally upwardly when the assembly is in use, a top side and a bottom side. The support structure comprises a support tab connected to one of the panel member sides and extends from the side into proximity with a peripheral region of the portal. The preferred support structure further comprises anchor structure for securing the support tab to the peripheral region. The anchor structure is formed by cooperating hook and loop structures which enable adhesion of the panel about the portal. The support tab is connected to the panel member by scoring the panel material along the juncture of the support tab and the corresponding panel member side. The hinge is formed by scoring the panel material along the juncture of the door member and panel member to facilitate bending and then reinforcing the scored bend line with tape adhered to the panel.
