ABSTRACT:
A combination toy and faucet fountain comprises a faucet fountain core including a tubular body with a long front wall and a short rear wall. The tubular body is adapted to frictionally fit over a faucet aerator and has a closure member of sufficient size to cover its outlet end, and a fountain conduit extending upwardly and outwardly from a hole in its front wall to a terminating spout end. The closure member is arranged to be moved to cover the outlet end to direct water from the faucet through the spout end. A flexible plastic jacket encloses the tubular body and the fountain conduit. The jacket has a molded exterior surface depicting at least one fanciful object with an opening located in the object. The object may comprise the likeness of a fanciful character face with features including eyes, nose and mouth. The opening is located in and forms one of the features of the face. Movement of the closure member directs water through the third opening so that it appears to come from the object, as well as being available for drinking.
