ABSTRACT:
A system for constructing a variety of moving toys from flexible sheet material uses the vibrations of a loudspeaker to move the toy. The toy is provided in the form of an elongate strip that is assembled into the complete toy by simply bending the strip along its long axis into a generally cylindrical shape and fastening together. The strip has a top portion defining one or more animate or inanimate objects, an intermediate portion for fastening the assembled toy together and a bottom portion with parallel ribbons or strips extending downward. When assembled into the cylindrical shape, the toy is self-supporting and rests upon the ribbons. When a box with an open side is applied with the open side against a loudspeaker, music will vibrate the top of the box. When the toy is on the box, it will move or dance to the music. When the ribbons extend downward at a slanting angle, the toy will rotate in one direction.
