Bubble-squeezing toy

Abstract

A bubble-squeezing toy has a body formed of resilient, stretchable plastics material having two internal chambers, one of which has an area of reduced thickness that can stretch to form an external bubble upon squeezing of the body. A partition exists between the internal chambers and an aperture is provided in the partition via which the chambers communicate with one another. An air-driven squeaker is attached to the partition at the aperture.
