ABSTRACT:
A substantially disk shaped body includes a downwardly curved perimeter and a circular, raised central portion. A plurality of substantially evenly spaced apertures are distributed annularly about the central portion. A switch is positioned substantially at a top of the central portion, the switch including a hole there-through for connecting to a cord for hanging the body. A circuit includes the switch, a battery receptacle, a sound generating device, and at least one light source. The circuit is configured to activate the light source when the switch is moved to one side, and to activate the light source and the sound generating device when the switch is moved to an opposite side. The battery receptacle, the sound generating device, and the light source are positioned beneath the central portion. A circular plate is configured to fit within an annular channel on an underside of the body in a centered fashion beneath the central portion, and beneath the battery receptacle, the sound generating device and the light source. The plate includes a substantially clear perimeter portion and a substantially opaque center portion. The light source is positioned such that when the light source is on, light is transmitted through the perimeter portion of the plate and through the apertures.
