Abstract

A toy activated by air movement including a loop (1) of a self-supporting flexible sheet-like material. The loop has an interior surface (2) and a exterior surface (3) and a major axis (A) perpendicular to the direction of travel. The loop (1) is formed of a material which at least partially deforms under its own weight and has sufficient rigidity such that a portion of the interior surface (2) of the loop will not contact an opposite portion of the interior surface of the loop when the toy is placed upon supporting surface. The toy travels along the supporting surface in response to air movement. A plurality of flaps (4) extend outwardly from the exterior surface (3) of the loop generally in a direction parallel to the major axis (A) of the loop. The flaps (4) are angled away from the exterior surface (3) of loop (1), whereby air impacting upon the flaps (4) will cause the toy to roll about the major axis (A) along the supporting surface.
