Abstract

A bendable device, such as a child's toy, to be generally comprised of an elongated, flexible body section, a head segment attached to an end of the body section, and a tail segment attached to the other end of the body section is disclosed. In a basic form, the device can be wrapped about an object and secured to itself to form a ring. The head segment includes an opening, preferably in the form of a mouth, and a cavity extending from the open mouth inward to the body, and the tail includes an insertable portion for being frictionally engaged and retained within the cavity. The cavity may extend through the head segment and into the body and may include a plurality of indexed chambers. The chambers allow adjustability of the ring size by providing deeper insertion of the tail into the mouth of the head. Objects may be inserted into the cavity for storage, decoration, or play.

Older children become more imaginative in play and often look for toys and gadgets which are theme-based—e.g., cartoons, sports, fantasy, historical. The intended use for a baby's toy must be kept simple, while older children look to be challenged during play. Further, babies and (to a lesser exten...
