ABSTRACT:
A toy for dispersing reflective particles includes a hand-held support, a rotatable shaft extending from the support, and a hollow enclosure on the shaft rotatable therewith and housing the reflective particles. The enclosure has a plurality of spaced apertures therein through which the particles are caused to pass under centrifugal force upon rotation of the shaft. This causes a burst of the reflective particles to be dispersed into the surrounding air. The enclosure may angularly extend from shaft to aid in the dispersion of the particles. The toy is electrically operated by a motor and batteries housed within the support. The toy may also include a filler opening through which the particles are loaded into the enclosure and a closure which fits within the opening to prevent the particles from escaping through the opening after they are loaded. Alternatively, the toy includes flaps which cover each aperture and allow particles to be loaded into an open end of enclosure but which open or uncover each aperture upon rotation of enclosure to allow the particles to disperse into the air.
