ABSTRACT:
A fabric hat which is usable as such by a child and is also convertible into a flying play object that can be thrown and caught in the manner of a Frisbee. The fabric hat is formed by a pair of dome-shaped sections, one nested within the other to define the crown of the hat, the circular rims of the sections being joined to an annular disc defining the brim of the hat. To convert the hat into a flying object, a toy balloon in its collapsed state is inserted through a port in one of the sections into a space between the sections. The balloon is then inflated to transform the crown into a ball encircled at its equator by the annular disc, whereby the resultant flying object can then be thrown and caught. The hat is packaged in a two-ply display card whose front ply has a circular opening therein through which the crown projects, the shorter rear ply having an arcuate indentation that matches a corresponding portion of the opening. The brim of the hat is clamped between the plies whereby a child may try on the hat without, however, having to remove it from the display card.
