ABSTRACT:
A plural nipple baby toy including a polymeric, hollow spherical ball constructed with interlocking hemispheres having a plurality of holes in its periphery surface adapted for receiving a plurality of brightly colored bottle or pacifier nipples. The nipples are installed within the ball prior to assembly of the interlocking hemispheres and secured therein by retainers in a manner whereby the ball and nipple are permanently fixed as an integral unit. The nipples may be symmetrically spaced with the preferred embodiment having up to six nipples. The toy can be transformed into a plural nipple ball with a handle by substituting a handle assembly for one of the nipples. A more elaborate toy may be assembled by simply providing two plural nipple balls connected by a common handle assembly replacing one nipple on each ball. In any case, each spherical ball having a plurality of conventional bottle nipples, each located in a manner which allows the child to suck on the nipples without interference from the adjacent nipple, the child can easily find and grasp the pacifier/toy and insert one of the nipples in his mouth without manipulating the pacifier. The pacifier is sufficiently large that it cannot be easily lost, is brightly colored, and is immensely pleasurable to an infant or toddler.
